manual abstract
As a result of these efforts, modifications may be made from time to time to existing products without prior notice. Specifications and appearance may differ from those listed or shown in this manual. USA: Cerwin-Vega, 9340 De Soto Ave., Chatsworth, CA 91311 Stanton Group Europe: 382 Avenue de la Couronne, 1050 Brussels, Belguim PRIOR TO INSTALLATION Carefully unpack your speaker, saving the box and all of the packing material; at some point you may need to transport, ship, or move your speaker. Before continuing with the installation, please make sure your A/V receiver, processor, preamplifier, or amplifier’s power switch is turned “OFF.” INSTALLATION Please read the following to determine which installation procedure is best for your audio/video system. For additional hook-up connections, you may want to refer to your A/V receiver, processor, preamplifier, or amplifier’s manual. NOTE: Be sure to read and observe the “Safety Instructions” on preceding page before starting the installation. CONNECTIONS As mentioned earlier, all connections should be made with the equipment turned off. Use high quality speaker wire (16-gauge or heavier) to connect your speakers to your A/V receiver, processor, preamplifier, or amplifier. Connect the positive terminal on the speaker (marked "+" and colored red) to the positive terminal on the A/V receiver, processor, preamplifier, or amplifier and connect the negative terminal on the speaker (marked "-" and colored black) to the negative terminal on the A/V receiver, processor, preamplifier, or amplifier. In any case, make sure that the wiring polarity remains consistent throughout the system in order to maintain correct polarity (see figure 1). Failure to observe correct polarity will result in poor sound balance, decreased imaging, and worst of all, decreased bass response. Refer to the owner’s manual provided by your receiver/preamp/processor manufacturer. PLACEMENT (VE-5M BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS) For left and right channels, place the speakers so that the tweeters are at ear level (i.e., normal seated position) and are on either side of the video receiver or monitor (see Figure 2). You can place the speakers on bookshelves or use speaker stands, which are readily available from your local home audio retailer. For use as a rear channel surround speaker, avoid corners of the room and experiment with different locations until you find a pleasing effect. Refer to the owner’s manual provided by your receiver/ preamp/processor manufacturer for speaker placement when using different surround effects (i.e., Dolby Digital, DTS). PLACEMENT (VE-5C CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKERS) Ideally, the Center Channel Speaker should be in the middle between the front left and right main speakers and face toward the viewing area (see Figure 2). The tweeter should be at ear level (i.e., normal seated position). If possible, position the speaker and (left/right) bookshelf speakers to form a straight line. PLACEMENT (VE-8, VE-12, VE-15 FLOOR-STANDING SPEAKERS) Use figure 2 as an initial guide for speaker placement, keeping in mind that most rooms are far from ideal and different speaker locations produce different sounds. If the bass is too prominent, try moving the speakers away from the walls. If you need more bass, move the speakers closer to the rear walls. Keep the speakers about 1 1/2 feet (45 cm) away from the sidewalls and 1 foot (30 cm) out from the rear wall and about 6 feet (2 meters) from each other.
