PREPARING THE CR-30.4 & CR-30.5 LOUDSPEAKERS

4

POSITIONING STEREO LOUDSPEAKERS

The CR-30.4 and 30.5 are floor standing. We suggest they are
positionedat least200 mmfrom therear wallsand 700mm from
the side walls, facing slightly inwards. The CR-30.1, 30.2 and

30.3may bestand orwall mountedor placedon arigid shelf.
The bass extension will improve if smaller speakers are

operated closerto the rearwalls. Ifthe loudspeakers areplaced
too close to the walls the bass will increase but may be boomy
and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed away from the

walls, theinward anglemay beincreased byup to40%, butthis
mayrestrict thewidth ofthe optimumlistening position.

A rule of thumb is that the listener should be as far from the
loudspeakers as theyare from each other. The speakers should
ideally be positioned sothat the treble units are roughlyat ear
level to a seated listener. As personal taste plays a large role,
experiment withdifferent configurationsand play awide range
ofprogrammes beforefinalising theposition ofyour speakers.

ATTACHING THE PLINTH ANDSPIKES

LEVELLING THE LOUDSPEAKER

Place a soft cloth on the floor to protect the speaker. Invert the
loudspeakerand placeiton thecloth.

Attach the plinth firmly to the loudspeaker using the four

Thread a locking nut two-thirds of the way up the spike.Thread
each spikeassembly into a spike mount..Tighten finger tight so
thatthe spikeis securebutnot lockedin place.

Invert the loudspeaker and place it carefully on the floor. If the
floor is not perfectly level you will find that one spike is off the
ground. Startingwith thisspike, unscrew itso thatit touches the
floor. Move the other spikes in and out so until the speaker is
level front andback and sideways. Now tightenthe nuts to lock
thespikes firmlyinposition
