Russound LCR7 INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

The Complement® LCR7 Loudspeaker is a wall-mounted

unit for home theater and stereo audio applications. Its

slender proﬁ le is designed to complement the appear-

ance of most ﬂ at-panel video displays. The speaker

comes with two different-colored grilles to coordinate

easily with the room décor or other equipment.

In a home theater, the LCR7 is intended for use in the

front left, center, and right positions adjacent to the

video display. In stereo audio applications, a pair of LCR7

speakers can be used for the left and right channels.

Patent-pending Super Bessel Array™ technology in the

LCR7’s design improves sound dispersion. A special cir-

cuit in the speaker alters the response of certain drivers

at certain frequencies. This improves directivity at higher

frequencies, thus helping to broaden the listening area

when the speaker is mounted horizontally for use in the

center position.

The beneﬁ t is that one speaker model can be used for

the three front channels in a home theater. This provides

identical voicing in all three positions, which improves

clarity and imaging.

Because the LCR7 is magnetically shielded, it can be

used next to CRT televisions without causing picture

distortion.

The LCR7 features an array of six mid/low-frequency

drivers coupled with a single high-frequency driver

to reproduce most of the audio spectrum. Its nominal

impedance is 6 ohms. A separate subwoofer is recom-

mended to reproduce the lowest frequencies.

Although intended primarily for use as front speakers,

the LCR7 can also be used as surround speakers in a

multichannel audio system. As an alternative, any Rus-

sound in-wall or in-ceiling speaker would work well for

the surround channels.

Russound’s Complement Series subwoofers are ideal for

use with the LCR7 to extend the bass response of the

system. We recommend setting the subwoofer’s cross-

over frequency at 100 Hz.
