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

Connoisseur 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

CF-30, CF-50 or CF-70 floorstanding speaker, stand the box upright, cut the

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

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

It is VITAL that your new Connoisseur 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.

MAGNETIC SHIELDING

While all Connoisseur series speakers are magnetically shielded, stray magnetic

fields can still exist. Placing your Connoisseur 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

(Diagram1)

All of the models in the Connoisseur Series have the same high quality gold

plated binding post connectors. You should utilize high quality speaker cables,

up to 12 gauge (AWG). The Connoisseur 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 remove

the plastic red and black inserts. The plastic insert is a mandatory

security measure, as dictated by many local and federal government

associations.

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:

TRADITIONAL CONNECTION METHOD (Diagram 2)

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

(CF-30, CF-50, CF-70).

2) Repeat the procedure for the second speaker.

BI-WIRE METHOD (CF-30, CF-50, CF-70) (Diagram 3)

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

of terminals on the Connoisseur 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS –

READ CAREFULLY!

CABINET INSTALLATION (CB-5, CB-10, CB-20, CC-5,

CC-10) (Diagram 6)

When installing the speaker into a cabinet, please insert the two included port

plugs into the ports on the rear of the speaker. When the speaker is inserted into

a cabinet, the rear ports will cause an overemphasis of low frequencies and must

be plugged, in order to achieve the best possible sound. Care should also be

taken to fill the cabinet, flush to the front of the speaker, with insulation as this

helps to avoid diffraction issues. Your authorized Energy retailer can assist you

further with any issues.

CR-10 (Diagram 7)

The rear speakers can vary greatly in position depending on the room layout,

and the furniture placement. The ideal position is either on the side walls, or

rear walls.

Side Wall: This position utilizes the ceiling or rear walls of the room to reflect

sound and create the "surround" effect.

Rear Wall: This is generally used when the side wall position is not available to

you, due to furniture placement or room dimensions. It is also used in a 6.1 or

7.1 surround configuration.

Both mounting positions have their advantages and disadvantages, the position

offering the best coverage of the entire room should be chosen. The goal of the

surround speakers during movie reproduction is to create an "atmosphere"

around you. The rear channel speakers are ideally placed an equal distance

from you as compared to the front speakers. But this is not always possible in a

home environment. The CR-10 will emit sound from both sides of the speaker,

and is best placed where it can use the ceiling and walls to reflect the sound

around the listeners. The best mounting position for a 5.1 system is the Side

Wall position, as it makes use of the rooms' ceiling, rear walls, and side walls. It

will create a lifelike surround effect and make the room sound larger than it is.

In this position, try to mount the speaker so that it is beside you or slightly

behind you. The height should be above ear level, at approximately 2/3 of the

height of the wall. 6 feet off of the ground is typically a good starting point,

and the speaker should be 2 feet above your head when seated. These general

guidelines should aid in positioning choices.

You can also achieve excellent results in the rear position. Try not to place the

speakers directly into a corner. Leave 2 or more feet between the edge of the

cabinet and the side wall, so the sound can reflect into the room environment.

The rear position is usually chosen when your room will not accommodate the

side wall position due to unequal walls, a doorway, or a large opening, etc. It is

recommended that the rear center (6.1 system) or dual rear surrounds (7.1) be

placed at the same height as the other two rear surround speakers wherever

possible.

MOUNTING YOUR CR-10 SPEAKERS (Diagram 8)

NOTE: The CR-10 features a very simple wall mounting system. Careful

attention must be made to mount it securely as the speaker is heavy and

damage to the product and/or injury could result from improper mounting.

Please follow the directions carefully!

1) Select the mounting position best suited for your room.

2) Place the speaker vertically against the wall in the desired mounting

location and push firmly on the speaker cabinet to mark the wall. This is

where you need to insert the appropriate mounting hardware to securely

fasten the speaker. Hardware is not included with the speaker, as building

materials vary greatly in different countries, but the recommended screw

head size is a #8. Screw length is to be determined by the wall material.

3) If you are mounting directly to drywall, please ensure that you use the

appropriate anchors, as screws into drywall itself will not provide a secure

mount. Insert the anchors AND screws until tight. Try to locate into wall

studs wherever possible.

BI-AMPLIFICATION METHOD (CF-30, CF-50, CF-70)

(Diagram 3)

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

(CB-5, CB-10, CB-20, CF-30, CF-50, CF-70)

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.

WALL MOUNT OPTIONS (CB-5, CB-10, CB-20, CC-5)

(Diagram 4)

These models can be wall mounted using the keyhole or threaded insert on the

back. The threaded insert is an imperial 1/4-20 (CB-5, CB-10, CC-5) or 3/8-16

(CB-20) thread and should be compatible with various aftermarket mounting

systems.

TABLE/STAND MOUNTING (CB-5, CB-10, CB-20, CC-5,

CC-10) (Diagram 5)

When the speaker will 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.
