Step .1: .Unpacking
Remove your new speakers from their packaging. Refer to the unpacking diagrams printed on the CLX packaging
Step .2: .Placement
Place each CLX so that the curvilinear electrostatic panel is on the inside. Place each CLX so the electrostatic panels are at least four feet from the back wall, two feet from the side walls, and angled slightly toward your listening area. Please see the Setup and Placement section (pages
Step .3: .Power .Connection .(AC) (see warning)
Your CLX speakers require AC power to energize their electrostatic cells. Using the AC power cords provided, plug them in first to the AC power receptacle on the rear of the speaker, making sure that you have made a firm connection, and then to a wall outlet. Please see AC Power Connection (pages 7) for more details.
Step .4: .Signal .Connection
Higher quality cables, available from your audio video dealer, are recommended and will give you superior per- formance. Use the best speaker cables you can. Spade connectors are suggested for optimum contact and ease of installation.
Attach your speaker cables to the signal input section on the rear panel. Be consistent when connecting speaker leads to the terminals on the back of the CLX. Take great care to assign the same color cable to the (+) terminal on both the left and right channels.
For detailed setup instructions, please turn to the Controls and Connections section (Page 7) of this manual for more details.
Step .5: .Listen .and .Enjoy
Now, you may turn on your system and enjoy!
