CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS

The CS6s’ input terminals are located on the bottom of the speaker near the back. Access is from the back with the speaker in its normal upright position. Make sure that both connections are tight. It is best to turn the amplifier off while connecting or disconnecting the speakers.

For proper performance, both speakers in a stereo system must be wired in the same polarity. The speaker input terminals are color coded for this purpose. The wire connected to the positive input terminal of each speaker, marked with a red band, should be connected to the corresponding positive (+) output terminal of the amplifier. The wire connected to the negative input terminal of each speaker, marked with a black band, should be connected to the corresponding negative (–) output terminal of the amplifier. The speakers should be connected to the amplifier with high quality audio 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 probably give the best results.

STABILIZER PINS

The speakers should be positioned before the

stabilizer pins. To install:

Bottom View

• 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 pin into each of the two holes at the back corners of the speaker. 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.

Please be cautioned that the stabilizer pins can be dangerous if not used with care. They will dent or puncture hardwood floors and it is possible to damage carpets if the speakers are moved with the pointed feet in place.

CS6 specifications

Thiel Audio Products has long been recognized for its dedication to high-performance audio equipment, and one of its standout offerings is the CS6 loudspeaker. This model embodies the brand’s commitment to delivering exceptional sound quality while incorporating advanced technologies and thoughtful engineering.

The CS6 loudspeaker is designed with a three-way configuration that features an 8-inch woofer, a 4-inch midrange driver, and a 1-inch tweeter. This carefully selected combination allows for a wide frequency response and remarkable clarity across all audio ranges, from deep, resonant bass to crisp, clear highs. The woofer employs a unique cone design that minimizes distortion and enhances dynamic range, ensuring that listeners can enjoy every note with precision.

One of the standout features of the CS6 is its innovative Time-Aligned technology. This approach ensures that sound waves from different drivers reach the listener's ears simultaneously, creating a coherent and immersive soundstage. This technological advantage is particularly beneficial for critical listening environments, where accuracy is paramount.

The enclosure of the CS6 is another area where Thiel's engineering excellence shines through. Constructed from high-quality materials, the cabinet is designed to minimize resonance and unwanted vibrations, which can detract from the listening experience. The curved design not only adds aesthetic appeal but also contributes to improved acoustic performance by reducing standing waves within the enclosure.

Furthermore, Thiel has incorporated advanced crossover technology into the CS6. The crossover system is engineered to seamlessly blend the output of each driver, resulting in a natural and balanced sound profile. The use of high-quality components ensures a faithful reproduction of audio signals, allowing listeners to hear music as the artist intended.

The CS6 loudspeaker also boasts impressive power handling capabilities, accommodating amplifiers with a wide range of wattages. This versatility makes it suitable for various listening environments, from intimate home theaters to larger spaces. Additionally, the speaker's stylish aesthetic, available in multiple finishes, ensures that it fits beautifully in any décor.

In summary, Thiel Audio Products' CS6 loudspeaker combines cutting-edge technology with superior craftsmanship to deliver a truly remarkable listening experience. With its dynamic range, time-aligned design, and robust construction, the CS6 is an ideal choice for audiophiles seeking unparalleled sound quality.
