TH I E L Model CS3.7 Coherent Sour ce ® loudspeaker system OWNER INFORMA TION ®.
C ongratulations on your purchase of the T HIEL CS3.7 Coherent Source ® loudspeaker system. The CS3.7 is the result of a long and dedicated effort to provide the most accurate music reproduction possible. We have used only the highest quality components and taken great care in the CS3.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY The CS3.7 is a precision instrument designed to translate, as accurately as possible, electronic information into musical sound. All our efforts have been directed toward achieving extremely faithful translation of all tonal, spatial and dynamic information supplied by the amplifier.
2 POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS Because of their unipolar radiation pattern, the CS3.7s will provide good results when placed in a variety of room locations. However, speaker placement will affect the accuracy of timbre, spatial performance, and bass perfor- mance.
3 Placement suggestions Some people have restraints on speaker placement because of room size, shape, or aesthetic considerations and cannot meet one or more of the above placement recommenda- tions. They should not be discouraged from investing in CS3.
4 Some rooms, especially narrow ones, can benefit from placing the speakers along the long wall. Although space behind the speaker and behind the listener is reduced, this positioning increases the space between the speakers without side wall interference, and can improve overall performance.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS The CS3.7’s input terminals are located on the lower rear of the speaker cabinet. The CS3.7 uses 5-way binding posts that accept several types of wire connections. Regardless of the type of wire termination, make sure that all connections are tight.
6 BREAK-IN The CS3.7s, like most speakers, require a period of playing before they perform optimally. The time required depends on how loudly the speakers are played; more time is required if played softly, less if played loudly. At least 50 hours at moderately loud levels are required before the speaker is performing near optimum.
7 GRILLE The CS3.7 grille is attached magnetically to the front of the speaker. The grille is designed to not produce diffraction so there is no sonic reason to remove it. If you do need to remove the grille, carefully pull the grille frame away from the front of the speaker.
