Connecting Your Loudspeakers

Your C/L/R 2300 is a unique LCR speaker system which may be used as a stereo pair (left and right), a center channel, a left, center and right and as a rear or side surround loudspeaker.

Connecting Each Speaker with Speaker Wires Only

In most cases, you will connect the C/L/R 2300(s) to your amplifier as youwould with any other speaker. When the C/L/R 2300(s) is hooked up using simply one set of speaker wire per speaker (with no separate low level input for the subwoofer section) a special circuit within the speaker takes an infinitesimally small signal from the speaker level input and converts it to a low level signal which then drives the subwoofer power amp in the speaker. Simply connect the red (+) terminal of the speaker to the red (+) terminal of the appropriate channel of your amplifier or receiver and then connect the black (-) terminal of the speaker to the black (-) terminal of the same channel of your amplifier or receiver. Remember, it is essential that all the speakers (center, left, right and rears) be connected in the same way (in phase) to its own channel of the amplifier. If you experience a great lack of bass,it is like- ly that one speaker or more is out of phase the the others.

Using the Low Level RCA Input

You will note that your C/L/R 2300(s) has a low level RCA input jack on the back. In most cases you will not use this input.

The particular set-up where you can use this input (although it is absolutely not necessary to use it) is when you are using 3 C/L/R 2300s across the front as Left, Center and Right channel loudspeakers without a separate subwoofer on the LFE channel. In this case you can use a Y type low level RCA connec- tor that goes from one to three wires and hook the one wire to the LFE RCA low level out on your decoder or receiver and the three wires one each to the low level RCA input on the back of your three C/L/R 2300s. You will then set the bass management system to “Large” left main “Large” center and “Large” right main and “Yes” subwoofer. Using this type of hookup will enable you to balance the bass level on the speakers for music (with the level control on the back of the speakers) while allowing you to adjust the LFE level separated for extra LFE impact on movies. In addition it will utilize the subwoofer capability of all three C/L/R 2300s for the LFE channel.
