INTRODUCTION
Product Description
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.
Surround speakers
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.
Subwoofer
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.
