CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
The CS3.7’s input terminals are located on the lower rear of the speaker cabinet. The CS3.7 uses
It is essential for proper performance that both speakers in a stereo system be wired in the same polarity. The speaker’s input terminals are color coded to facilitate this. The wire connected to the red ringed input terminal of each speaker should connect
to the respective positive (+) output terminals of the amplifier; the wire connected to the black ringed input terminals should be connected to the respective negative
The speakers should be connected to the amplifier with high quality cable to ensure minimal loss of power and proper control by the amplifier. If the speakers are being connected to a vacuum tube amplifier with various impedance taps, the 4 ohm tap will usually give the best results.
STABILIZER FEET
The speakers should be positioned before the stabilizer feet are installed.
Speakers positioned on a soft or uneven surface are able to rock slightly and will vibrate in reaction to forces the speaker generates to move the driver diaphragms. (Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.) This motion slightly reduces the music’s clarity.
To eliminate this effect, the CS3.7s can be used with four stabilizer feet on uneven surfaces or on carpeted floors to provide a more solid footing and allow the speaker to couple more firmly to the floor. To install the feet:
•Position the speaker in the desired location.
•Tilt the speaker forward slightly so that the back of the speaker is a few inches off the floor.
•Screw one foot, with the locking nut threaded all the way onto the foot, into each of the
two holes at the back corners of the speaker bottom. The pins should be screwed into the speaker until there is about 1⁄4" of thread remaining visible.
•Let the back of the speaker down and then tilt the speaker backward slightly so that the front is a few inches off the floor and install the two front feet.
•With all four feet installed, the height of each foot should be adjusted so that the speaker stands firmly on the floor without wobbling. Then tighten the lock nuts by turning them so they are tight against the cabinet to secure the feet to the cabinet
Please be cautioned that the stabilizer feet can dent hardwood floors and it is possible to mar the floor’s surface if the speakers are moved with the feet in place.
