CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
The CS7.2s’ input terminals are located on the bottom of the speaker near the back. Access is from the back with the speaker in its normal upright position. Make sure that both connections are tight. It is best to turn the amplifier off while connecting or disconnecting the speakers.
For proper performance, all speakers in the system must be wired in the same polarity. The speaker input terminals are color coded for this purpose. The wire connected to the positive input terminal of each speaker, marked with a red band, should be connected to the corresponding positive (+) output terminal of the amplifier. The wire connected to the negative input terminal of each speaker, marked with a black band, should be connected to the corresponding negative
Due to European CE regulations that do not permit banana plug type loudspeaker connections, we ship THIEL speakers with removable plugs installed in the ends of the binding posts. If you wish to use banana plug type connections, you may remove the black plastic plug inserted into the end of each metal binding post cap. To remove the plug, use your fingernail to pry along the bottom edge of the plastic insert and lift out.
STABILIZER PINS
The speakers should be positioned before the stabilizer pins installed.
Speakers positioned on a soft or uneven surface are able rock slightly and will vibrate in reaction to forces the speaker generates to move the driver diaphragms. (Every action has equal and opposite reaction.) This motion slightly reduces music’s clarity.
To eliminate this effect, the CS7.2s can be used with metal stabilizer pins on uneven surfaces or on carpeted floors provide a more solid footing. The points penetrate the carpet, allowing the speaker to couple more firmly to the floor. If use of pointed pins is not desired on hard surfaces, the metal sockets will provide some stabilization.
Two people are required to safely install the stabilizer
To install:
• Position the speaker in the desired location.
• Tilt the speaker forward slightly so that the back of the speaker is a few inches off the floor.
• Screw one pin into each of the two holes at the back
corners of the base. The pins should be screwed into the speaker until there is about 1⁄4" of thread remaining visible.
•Let the back of the speaker down and then tilt the speaker backward slightly so that the front is a few inches off the floor and install the two front feet.
•With all four feet installed, the height of each foot should be adjusted so that the speaker stands firmly on the
floor without wobbling.
Please be cautioned that the stabilizer pins can be dangerous if not used with care. They will dent or punc- ture hardwood floors and it is possible to damage carpets if the speakers are moved with the pointed feet in place.
