Unpacking Your C/L/R, Speaker Break-in | Definitive Technology 2300

Unpacking Your C/L/R 2300

Please Inspect For Shipping Damage

Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our plant and should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery company that delivered your loudspeaker. Please unpack your system carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials in case you move or need to ship your sys- tem. Record the serial number found on the back of the C/L/R 2300 in the appropriate place on your warranty card.

Speaker Break-in

Your C/L/R 2300s should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions to work in and results in fuller bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.

Installing the Logo

Because the C/L/R 2300 can be used either vertically or horizontally, the logo is supplied separately. Holes are provided for installation when the speak- er is used horizontally or vertically. These are located under the grill cloth in recesses that you can feel through the grill cloth at the center of the lower long edge of the speaker and at the top and bottom short edge of the speaker grill cloth on the front (so you can orient the speakers with each speaker’s woofer facing in or each speaker’s woofer facing out if you position the speakers ver- tically). Locate the logo over the two holes within each recess that you choose and gently tap it in through the grill cloth.

Installing the Feet/Angling Device

The C/L/R 2300 is supplied with brass inserts designed to go into the bottom of the speaker, when the speaker is positioned horizontally, to hold adjustable feet which hold the speaker above the surface it is placed on as well as give you the option of angling the speaker up or down to point directly at the listeners. Install three of these inserts in the bottom of the speakers. There are predrilled holes on the bottom of the speaker under the grill cloth (when the speaker is positioned horizontally). Simply locate the holes. Two holes are located a little back (both the same distance) from the front of the speaker. Install brass inserts in each of these. You also have a choice for the rear hole depending on the depth of the surface you will place the speaker on. They are located along the center line going from the front and the back of the speaker on the bottom. Then feel for them and select one of these holes. Gently tap the inserts in through the grill cloth and screw the feet in.
