BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
It is VITAL that your new Reference Connoisseur Custom speakers
be allowed to break-in properly before you perform any precise set
up procedures, system adjustments, and before you play them at
higher volume levels. The best method of performing the break-in
is to play a full range musical passage at a moderate level as long
as possible. Utilizing the repeat function on your CD or DVD player
can assist greatly. Optimum sound will not be achieved until
approximately 100 hours of playing time. After break-in, the
volume level can be increased. Do not play the speakers at high
levels until the break-in process has been completed. The
transducers need to "loosen up", and until this occurs, damage
can result to the transducers.

POSITIONING AND INSTALLING
YOUR SPEAKERS
LEFT AND RIGHT MAIN SPEAKERS
(RC-6W, RC-6C, RC-8C)
The main speakers are usually placed in the front of the room, on
either side of the TV or video projector. They should be placed a
minimum of 6 feet apart. To calculate the best placement, measure
the distance between the speakers themselves and the listening
position. Your distance from the speakers should be roughly 1.5
times the distance the speakers are apart from each other. For
example: If the distance between each speaker and the listening
position is 9 feet, then the speakers should be 6 feet apart from
one another. This will provide excellent stereo separation and
imaging for music playback. Keeping the speakers a foot or two
away from the corner of the room will help significantly with the
overall sound quality. Remember, this is just a starting point, the
room's acoustics and furniture placement will vary the placement
of the speaker, as well as joists or wall studs. Use your best
judgment, as these guidelines are sometimes difficult to maintain
when installing in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, and therefore
should only be used as a general principles. Energy's wide
dispersion design will allow you significant advantages over most
other in-wall or in-ceiling designs and can overcome "difficult"
rooms.
RC-6W
The RC-6W is designed to be used as a front left or right speaker,
center channel or as a rear channel speaker. The diagonally
oriented tweeter/midrange module allows the speaker to be
installed in either a horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on
the installation. This flexible design is unique in that no matter the
orientation the dispersion of the speaker is maintained, meaning
no matter how it is installed, it will always sound the same. This
guarantees that if 3 RC-6Ws are used as front left, center and
right, they will sound identical to one another.
RC-6C AND RC-8C
The RC-6C and RC-8C are designed to be used as front left or
right speaker, center channel, rear channel or distributed audio
speakers. Both models offer adjustable tweeter/midrange modules
that can be oriented to suit the particular installation. Energy's
wide dispersion design ensures that even if the ideal installation
location cannot be utilized, the speaker will still deliver impressive
performance. Adjusting the tweeter/midrange angle can also assist
with this. When installing the RC-6C and RC-8C, try and locate the
speaker 2 or more feet from wall boundaries. This will help reduce
any midrange and mid bass coloration.
RC-6Cst
The RC-6Cst is a unique speaker, in that it can be used in a
multitude of configurations. When used as a stereo speaker, it is
ideal to try and install the speaker as close to the middle of the
room as possible. This will allow the left and right signals to
propagate throughout the room as much as possible, while
creating as large of a stereo image and separation as possible.
When in dipole or bipole mode, in a home theater system, the RC-
6Cst should be kept along the room boundaries, either in line with
the seating position or behind it. This will create the greatest sense
of ambiance and space, as is required from a rear channel speaker.
See the "Connecting the RC-6Cst Speaker" section for details on
how to install and connect this unique speaker.
