Congratulations on your purchase of the
Definitive Technology C/L/R 2300 Shielded LCR
Center/Left/Right Audio Video Loudspeaker System.
This revolutionary loudspeaker utilizes state-of-the-
art components (cast-basket homopolymer-coned
bass-midrange drivers, moving coil ferrofluid-cooled
dome high frequency radiator, long excursion sub-
woofer, infinite power source amplifier, uniphase
crossover networks, etc.), a non-resonant monocoque
cabinet and low diffraction construction in order to
achieve the most lifelike sound possible in your lis-
tening room for many years to come.
The Definitive Technology C/L/R 2300 is a
compact high definition loudspeaker system designed
for use in audio/video systems of the highest quality.
Because of its low profile, wide range, high power
handling and articulate clarity, it is ideal for use as a
center channel in conjunction with all surround sound
decoding systems, including Dolby Pro Logic*,
Dolby Digital AC-3*, and DTS*. In addition, the
C/L/R 2300 is ideal for use as an LCR (left, center
right speaker) as well as a rear surround speaker in all
surround sound decoding systems, including Dolby
Pro Logic*, Dolby Digital AC-3*, and DTS*, or as
audiophile quality main speakers in a high quality
