Thiel Audio Products CS6 manual Average listening room with long wall placement

Page 6

Some rooms, especially narrow ones, can benefit from placing the speakers along the long wall. Although space behind the speaker and behind the listener is reduced, this positioning increases the space between the speakers without side wall interference, and can improve overall performance. Figure 4 shows the same average size room as Figure 3, but with long wall placement. The speakers should be at least a foot from the rear wall, but the amount of toe-in can be adjusted, along with listener position, as well as the amount of spacing between the speakers.

In a larger room, the optimum posi- tioning suggestions on pages 2 and 3 are easier to implement. Figure 5 shows one set-up with the speakers five feet from the side walls, three feet from the rear wall, and the speakers aimed straight ahead. This arrangement provides an ample amount of space around the speakers to reduce unwanted reflections and should give excellent spatial performance and a very “open” sound. Other placement options in this room include: wider spacing between the speakers, adding toe-in as the spacing increases; increased space between the speaker and the back wall to improve imaging depth. Various listening position distances can also be tried.

As mentioned at the beginning of the positioning section, all rooms are different and no hard rules can be given. Even rooms with similar dimensions can have differ- ences in wall, floor and ceiling construction that greatly affect the sound. Also, “live” rooms with hard surfaces, glass, and little damping sound much different from “dead” rooms with heavy carpet, drapes and plush furniture. In other words—EXPERIMENT.

CS6 specifications

Thiel Audio Products has long been recognized for its dedication to high-performance audio equipment, and one of its standout offerings is the CS6 loudspeaker. This model embodies the brand’s commitment to delivering exceptional sound quality while incorporating advanced technologies and thoughtful engineering.

The CS6 loudspeaker is designed with a three-way configuration that features an 8-inch woofer, a 4-inch midrange driver, and a 1-inch tweeter. This carefully selected combination allows for a wide frequency response and remarkable clarity across all audio ranges, from deep, resonant bass to crisp, clear highs. The woofer employs a unique cone design that minimizes distortion and enhances dynamic range, ensuring that listeners can enjoy every note with precision.

One of the standout features of the CS6 is its innovative Time-Aligned technology. This approach ensures that sound waves from different drivers reach the listener's ears simultaneously, creating a coherent and immersive soundstage. This technological advantage is particularly beneficial for critical listening environments, where accuracy is paramount.

The enclosure of the CS6 is another area where Thiel's engineering excellence shines through. Constructed from high-quality materials, the cabinet is designed to minimize resonance and unwanted vibrations, which can detract from the listening experience. The curved design not only adds aesthetic appeal but also contributes to improved acoustic performance by reducing standing waves within the enclosure.

Furthermore, Thiel has incorporated advanced crossover technology into the CS6. The crossover system is engineered to seamlessly blend the output of each driver, resulting in a natural and balanced sound profile. The use of high-quality components ensures a faithful reproduction of audio signals, allowing listeners to hear music as the artist intended.

The CS6 loudspeaker also boasts impressive power handling capabilities, accommodating amplifiers with a wide range of wattages. This versatility makes it suitable for various listening environments, from intimate home theaters to larger spaces. Additionally, the speaker's stylish aesthetic, available in multiple finishes, ensures that it fits beautifully in any décor.

In summary, Thiel Audio Products' CS6 loudspeaker combines cutting-edge technology with superior craftsmanship to deliver a truly remarkable listening experience. With its dynamic range, time-aligned design, and robust construction, the CS6 is an ideal choice for audiophiles seeking unparalleled sound quality.
