Setting Your C/L/R 2300’s

Low Frequency Level Control

Your C/L/R 2300 has a level control for the electronic crossover which allows you to perfectly tune the output level of the powered low frequency subwoofer section to match your room as well as to fulfill your own personal listening preferences. Please note that there are no controls to vary the cross- over points or phase because these have been factory set to provide perfect

blending (a major performance benefit of this innovative product.) We sug- gest beginning with the level control set at approximately 2 o’clock. Set

the level control so that the sound is most pleasing to you. In general, when used as a center channel, the C/L/R 2300 subwoofer should not be turned up excessively high to add more “room shaking level bass” but should be kept in proper balance with the upper bass/midrange drivers in order to achieve properly balanced high-impact full-range center channel presentation. When used as main LCR speakers in conjunction with an additional subwoofer in general we would recommend keeping the level control around the 2 o’clock position on your C/L/R 2300s and raising the level on your additional exter- nal subwoofer if you want more “room shaking bass”.

If you use the C/L/R 2300 as left and right main front speakers, normally the level control of the left speaker will be set the same as the level control of the right speaker. However, these controls can also be set differently on the two speakers in order to allow you to vary the response of left and right speakers separately to compen- sate for variations and asymmetrical positioning of the left and right speakers in your room (i.e., when one is closer to a side wall or corner, etc.) if this is how you must set them up. This is a very unique and useful feature which allows you much greater flexibility in loudspeaker placement, as well as the ability to optimize what could otherwise be difficult placement situations.

Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud and not driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember, most amplifiers put out their full rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up! If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one.
