R-55E R-55 R-515 R-515E R-5E BREAK-IN PERIOD Allow several hours of listening time to adequately break-in your Impression Series speakers. As your speakers break in during the first few hours of listening, the driver suspension will loosen. Following this initial break-in period, there will be an increase in low-frequency response, improved definition, and increased clarity and detail.
CARE AND CLEANING To maintain your speaker and/or subwoofer appearance, we recommend carefully wiping it with a clean, damp, and soft cloth. To help clean dust from the grille cloth, we recommend using a vacuum with a brush attachment. FEATURES The Impression Series includes the R-55, a sleek tower, the R-515, an LCR/surround channel, and the R-5, an elegantly-matched bookshelf speaker.

ATTACHING SPEAKER WIRES If using a banana jack, attach the matching positive or negative wire and push directly into the binding post’s top hole. If you’re not using a banana jack, simply loosen the binding nut to allow the hole in the side of the terminal to become exposed.

ROOM SETUP SUGGESTIONS In order to obtain the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is important to determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening room. Room reflections from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging and overall sonic quality at the listening position.

ROOM SETUP SUGGESTIONS (continued) IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING BASS MANAGEMENT: It is important the signal being sent to the subwoofer be a non-boosted or “flat” signal. Check the settings on your receiver or processor to make sure any “bass boost”, “super bass” or “loudness” is set to Off. In most cases a home theater receiver or processor will determine the crossover frequency through bass management settings.
