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 are installed.
Speakers positioned on a soft or uneven surface are
able to rock slightly and will vibrate in reaction to
forces the speaker generates to move the driver
diaphragms. (Every action has an equal and opposite
reaction.) This motion slightly reduces the music’s
clarity.
To eliminate this effect, the CS6s can be used with
four metal stabilizer pins on uneven surfaces or on
carpeted floors to provide a more solid footing. The
points penetrate the carpet, allowing the speaker to
couple more firmly to the floor. If the use of pointed
pins is not desired on hard surfaces, the metal pin
sockets will provide some stabilization.
Two people are required to safely install the
stabilizer pins. To install:
• 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.
