C-Series

O W N E R S M A N U A L

We are proud to welcome you as an owner of ENERGY®Speaker Systems'

C-Series. 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.

Please take time to read all of the instructions contained in this manual to

make certain your system is properly installed and set up for optimal sound

reproduction. Be sure to unpack your system carefully. Retain the carton and all

packing material for future use.

UNPACKING

Using a knife carefully cut the tape to open the package. Fold the carton flaps

back and slide the speaker and packaging from the box. When removing the

C-300 or C-500 floorstanding speaker, stand the box upright, cut the tape and

slide the speaker from the box. Remove all inner packaging and parts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The C-Series floorstanding models C-300 or C-500 are designed to be used

with spikes and feet for the speakers' bottom. It is important that these are

installed properly as they provide stability and also add to the cosmetic look of

the speakers.

CONTENTS:

4 - Self adhesive rubber bumpers

4 - Protective discs (C-300 or C-500 only)

4 - Spikes (C-300 or C-500 only)

4 - Nuts (C-300 or C-500 only)

1 - High gloss black plinth/base (C-300 or C-500 only)

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

It is VITAL that your new C-Series 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.

PLINTH/BASES

The C-300 or C-500 floorstanding speakers come out of the box with high

gloss black plinth/bases attached to their bottom. The plinth/bases are

removable if you so choose, by unscrewing the 4 round head machine bolts

that attach the plinth/base to the cabinet. Care should be taken to not

damage the speaker or plinth/base during removal. Plinth/bases ensure a larger

surface area, and therefore provide greater stability to the speaker. Please see

diagram 1.

SPIKES

Spikes are included with every floorstanding speaker and are designed to

decouple the speaker from the floor. With the speaker upside-down (be sure to

protect the speaker surface when doing this), insert the spikes into the

threaded insert in the plinth/base. Using the supplied wrench, tighten the nut

on each spike, to ensure a sturdy and stable footing is established. The nuts

also allow for the speaker balance to be fine tuned when the speaker is

standing up, ensuring the speaker is level and plumb. If your flooring is

hardwood or a hard surface like tile, laminate flooring, etc, the included

protective discs are designed to be placed between the spike and the floor,

with the padded side down, to protect your flooring. Simply lay the protective

discs on the floor and position the speaker so the point of the spike fits into

the hole in the top of the protective disc. If you have removed the plinth/base,

spikes can be inserted directly into the threaded inserts in the bottom of the

speaker. When using carpeting, ensure no wiring beneath the carpeting is

pierced by the spike.

If you do not wish to use spikes or spikes with protective discs, self adhesive

rubber bumpers are included, to protect hardwood or hard surface floors. DO

NOT SLIDE THE SPEAKER WITH THE SPIKES INSTALLED, THIS WILL DAMAGE

YOUR FLOORS AND YOUR SPEAKERS. Please see diagram 2.

MAGNETIC SHIELDING

While all C-Series speakers are magnetically shielded, stray magnetic fields can

still exist. Placing your C-Series speakers on top or beside your CRT based

television should not cause any interference. In the case where there is some

minor discoloration, simply move the speaker forward or backwards or away

from the television a few inches, this generally resolves the issue. Note: LCD,

DLP and Plasma displays do not suffer from magnetic interference.

CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKERS

All of the models in the C-Series have the same high quality plated binding

post connectors, so connection to each channel offers the same options. You

should utilize high quality speaker cables, up to 12 gauge (AWG). The C-Series

will accept a variety of connector types including spade lugs, banana jacks, or

pin type connectors. The best connector in our opinion is the "Spade lug" as it

provides more contact area with the terminal and allows the binding post to be

tightened for a secure connection. Audiophiles and novices alike have

preferences as to which connector type they favor, speak with your Authorized

ENERGY®retailer as to which is the best for your Audio Video System. Rest

assured, plain speaker wire is more than acceptable, you can always upgrade

your wires and/or connectors later on.

In the case where you wish to use banana type plugs, simply

unscrew the binding post nut in a counter clock-wise fashion, until it

comes completely off. Remove the plastic red or black insert and

reconnect the binding post nut. The plastic insert is a mandatory

security measure, as dictated by many local and federal government

associations. Please see diagram 3.

To Connect your speaker system: Start at one speaker, and connect one

channel at a time, starting with the front speakers. Always ensure that the

entire A/V system is powered OFF before performing any connections. The

positive and negative (red and black) sides of the speaker terminals MUST

match the positive and negative (red and black) terminals of the receiver or

amplifier. If they do not match, abnormal sound and a lack of bass response

will result. After connecting the front speakers, connect the rest of the speakers

to their appropriate channels of the receiver or amplifier. The three connection

methods and their explanations include:

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS –

READ CAREFULLY!

TRADITIONAL CONNECTION METHOD

(PLEASE SEE DIAGRAM 4)

1) Using your choice of speaker wire and termination method, connect the

speaker cable (minding the positive and negative polarities), to the lower set

of connectors. Ensure the terminals are tight. The gold “shorting straps” that

connect the lower and upper connections must remain in place.

2) Repeat the procedure for the second speaker.

BI-WIRE METHOD (PLEASE SEE DIAGRAM 5)

This method involves using multiple cables and connectors, to access both sets

of terminals on the C-Series loudspeakers simultaneously. The benefit of bi-

wiring is to reduce noise, and reduce the likelihood of grounding problems, as

you will have twice the thickness of cable between the amp and speakers as

the traditional method would provide. For more details on the benefits of bi-

wiring, please discuss this with your authorized ENERGY®retailer.

NOTE: Before starting, remove the gold “shorting straps”, which connect

the top and bottom set of input terminals. To remove the straps, loosen all

of the connectors and pull the straps away from the binding posts. Make

sure you put them in a safe place for future use.

1) Using your choice of speaker wire and termination method, connect one

speaker cable from the amplifier (minding the positive and negative

polarities) to the top set of connectors. Ensure the terminals are tight.

2) Next, connect the second cable, from the same channel of your amplifier to

the lower set of terminals.

3) Repeat the procedure for the second speaker.

BI-AMPLIFICATION METHOD

(Please see diagram 6)

This connection system involves the use of two separate two channel amplifiers

to power one set of speakers. The idea is to have one stereo amplifier

connected to one speaker, and another identical amplifier powering the second

speaker. This is often referred to as “Vertical” Bi-amplification. It is the only

method ENERGY®recommends.

NOTE: Before starting, remove the gold “shorting straps”, which connect

the top and bottom set of input terminals. To remove the straps, loosen all

of the connectors and pull the straps away from the binding posts. Make

sure you put them in a safe place for future use.

1) Using your choice of speaker wire and termination method, connect one

speaker cable from the amplifier (minding the positive and negative

polarities) to the top set of connectors. Ensure the terminals are tight.

2) Next, connect the second cable, from the amplifier's other channel to the

bottom set of terminals, again ensuring a tight connection.

3) Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the second speaker using the second amplifier.

POSITIONING AND INSTALLING

YOUR SPEAKERS

LEFT AND RIGHT MAIN SPEAKERS

(C-50, C-100, C-200, C-300, C-500)

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,

and if the furniture placement allows, keep them at least 12 inches from all

walls. 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.

This is just a starting point, the room's acoustics and furniture placement will

vary the placement of the speaker. Use your best judgment and experiment

with speaker placement. Slight adjustments can provide significant

improvements in performance.

C-50, C-100, C-200

The C-50, C-100, C-200 are designed to be used as a front left or right

speaker, or as a rear channel speaker. When installing the C-50, C-100 or

C-200 bookshelf speakers to a wall, there is an insert built into the back of the

speaker, located above the input terminals. The threaded insert is designed

specifically for the ENERGY®Macromount™ bracket, which is available from

your local authorized ENERGY®retailer. Please see diagram 7.

When the C-50, C-100 or C-200 are to be installed on a bookshelf or on a

stand, please attach the 4 rubber bumpers to the bottom of the speaker, as this

will protect both the mounting surface and the speaker from damage. Simply

peel the bumper off its sheet and stick it in place on the bottom of the speaker,

one bumper per corner. The rubber bumpers also help decouple the speaker

from the bookshelf or stand. Please see diagram 8.

C-C50, C-C100

When the C-C50 or C-C100 is used as a center speaker, it is ideally placed as

close to the center of the TV or video projector as possible. This is to ensure

that voices and all sounds come from the performer's placement on screen. This

may be on top, underneath, or on a shelf within a wall unit or other furniture.

Use the position that provides the best sound quality, but keep in mind safety

and room décor as well. The center channel works best when the front of the

speaker is flush with the TV, or the shelf it rests on. If the center speaker is

recessed in its placement, it will sound distant, and undefined in character.

Please see diagram 9.

When the C-C50, C-C100 are to be installed on top of a television, in a cabinet

or on a shelf, please attach the 4 rubber bumpers to the bottom of the speaker,

as this will protect both the mounting surface and the speaker from damage.

Simply peel the bumper off its sheet and stick one bumper in each corner on

the speaker. Please see diagram 8.
