INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of ENERGY
®
speakers! Proprietary technology
and high quality manufacturing will allow you to enjoy the most natural and
accurate music reproduction for many years. The advice offered in this manual is
aimed at helping you maximize and maintain peak performance, and therefore, your
listening satisfaction. Please take the time to read all of the instructions contained
in this manual to make certain your system is properly installed and functioning
correctly.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
We strongly advise that you resist the temptation to play the ENERGY
®
speakers to
their full capabilities or experiment with critical placement and listening until they
have been properly broken in. This process should last approximately 50 hours. This
can be easily be done by putting your compact disc player on Repeat mode, while
playing a CD with a wide dynamic range at normal listening levels.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
ENERGY
®
speakers are the result of extensive research into accurate sonic
reproduction and represent the leading edge in speaker design and performance.
The finest components and cabinet materials combined with sophisticated
manufacturing and quality control procedures ensure many years of exceptional
performance and listening pleasure.
CABINET CARE
Great care and craftsmanship has gone into the construction and finish of the
cabinet. Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Do not use
paper towels or other abrasive materials as it may damage the finish.
NOTE: Please retain the carton and packing material for your Energy

shipped to a service center. Product received damaged by a service center
that has been shipped by the end user in other than the original packaging
will be repaired, refurbished and properly packaged for return shipment, at
the end user's expense.
SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT
The placement of your new ENERGY
®
subwoofer is critical to its performance. The
three most common locations include: in the corner of the room (which can result in
a boomy or exaggerated low frequency response), placement along one wall but out
of the corner (moderate bass performance with increased fidelity over corner
placement), or alongside a front speaker (creating a better blend with the front
speaker, but sacrificing overall volume). Experimentation with subwoofer placement
is highly encouraged, as slight adjustments can create large benefits in sound
reproduction. To further test subwoofer placement, install the subwoofer temporarily
in your main listening position and while playing a familiar piece of music, walk
around the listening room until you find the best sounding position. This is a
possible location for the subwoofer to be placed.
TERMINOLOGY AND CONTROLS
