Quick Start - Cerwin-Vega CVE-10 Instruction Manual

Quick Start

The steps below provide a quick reference on how to set up and use a single loudspeaker. A typical setup will follow the
same basic steps.
 Make sure the loudspeaker is unplugged.
STEP 1  Be sure the power switch is set to the OFF position.
 Turn the LEVEL knob to the lowest level (fully counterclockwise).
 Place the loudspeaker in the intended location.
STEP 2  Connect the source audio equipment OUTPUT to the loudspeaker INPUT. Be sure the source
equipment is powered on and set to a normal output level.
 Connect the power cord to the loudspeaker and AC power outlet.
 Set the POWER switch to the ON position and verify that the DSP MODE LED indicator is
STEP 3 illuminated.
 Slowly turn the LEVEL knob clockwise until the sound output is at the desired level. If there is
no sound, check to make sure that the source equipment is providing audio output.
When you are finished using the loudspeaker, set the POWER switch to the OFF position BEFORE
NOTES
removing any cables or turning off the source audio equipment.
Loudspeaker Placement

Never point a microphone directly at the loudspeaker, as this will result in feedback (unwanted sound). Be sure
the loudspeaker is placed away from the front of a microphone or directly behind a microphone when it is in a
floor monitor position.

When used with turntables, the loudspeaker should be carefully placed so that any vibrations do not interfere
with the turntable performance and functionality.

Avoid placing the loudspeaker in corners or along the walls of a room. Doing so will increase the low-frequency
sounds, which will result in a muddy and incoherent sound reproduction.

Avoid placing the speaker directly on a hollow stage. It is better to place the loudspeaker on a tripod stand or a
sturdy table.

The loudspeaker should be placed two to four feet above the ear level of the audience since the human body can
absorb sound, especially at high frequencies. This will ensure that the entire audience can hear the sound system
with the best possible clarity.
