C/L/R 2500
Center/Left/Right Professional Audio Video Shielded Loudspeaker
Congratulations on your purchase of the
Definitive Technology C/L/R 2500 Shielded
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 2500 is a com-
pact 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 ProLogic*, Dolby
Digital AC-3*, and DTS*. In addition, the C/L/R
2500 is ideal for use as an LCR (left, center right
speaker) as well as a rear surround speaker in all sur-
round sound decoding systems, including Dolby Pro
Logic, Dolby Digital AC-3, and DTS, or as the main
speakers in a high quality stereo system.
