  • Page 3: Design Philosophy

    The CS6 is not intended to mask or mitigate shortcomings of the recording or other components in the music playback system.
  • Page 4: Positioning The Speakers

    POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS Because of their unipolar radiation pattern and co-axial design, the CS6s 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 performance. Here are some guidelines to help you achieve the best sound from your speakers. (The pointed metal stabilizer pins should not be installed until the final positioning has been determined.) All aspects of speaker placement are dependent on the particulars of the room.
  • Page 5 Spacing Because of their very wide, even dispersion of energy, the CS6s can usually be placed farther apart than most other speakers. Optimum imaging is usually achieved when the speakers are almost as far apart as each speaker is from the listener, although this will depend on the width of the room—narrow rooms require more narrow placement.
  • Page 6 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.
  • Page 7: Connecting The Speakers

    CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS The CS6s’ input terminals are located on the bottom of the speaker near the back. Access is from the back with the speaker in its normal upright position. Make sure that both connections are tight. It is best to turn the amplifier off while connecting or disconnecting the speakers.
  • Page 8: Break-In

    BREAK-IN The CS6s, 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.
  • Page 9: Care

    6000 cu ft (20 ft x 30 ft with a 10 ft ceiling) will usually require twice the average power. If the listening room is connected to another room by a large open area, the required power will increase—but not by the amount of the combined room volume.
  • Page 10 We Want You Listening For A Lifetime Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, THIEL and the Electronics Industries Manufacturers Association recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
  • Page 11: Warranty

    LIMITED WARRANTY THIEL warrants every THIEL model CS6 system against defects in materials and workmanship to the original owner for a period of ten years from the date of purchase. THIEL will, at no charge, replace any defective part and make any repairs necessary to ensure its proper performance when the defective unit is returned to us postpaid.
