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.
