you do not have a subwoofer connected,
you will be missing the 5.1 LFE (low
frequency effects) information.
NOTE: If your processor or preamplier
does not have a crossover control, you
might need an external active crossover
to split the audio signal into a low-pass
range for the subwoofer, and a high-pass
range for the Cinema Ribbon CRW loud-
speakers. (Sunre subwoofers have their
own crossover controls with line-level
high-pass outputs that can be used to
power an amplier connected to Cinema
Ribbon CRW loudspeakers.)
Break-in period
Like many high performance automo-
biles, the Cinema Ribbon CRW loud-
speakers perform at their best after an
initial break-in period. A minimum of 20
hours is recommended prior to perform-
ing critical listening, however the speak-
ers will sound their best after a period of
300 to 400 hours. During this time, the
driver suspensions and ribbon structure
will relax into their operating design posi-
tions and give optimum performance.
To facilitate break-in during the initial
20 hours, it is recommended that you
play material with a wide dynamic range
at louder volumes – such as your favorite
rock and roll album (that is if your family
or neighbors can stand it).
It is important that your amplier
must supply good clean power,
and not run into distortion. Amplier
distortion due to clipping, causes
high-frequency output components that
can damage loudspeakers. Even a 100
watt amplier running into clipping can
damage loudspeakers rated at 400 watts
or more.
