    INITIAL INSTALLATION: The C-20 Control Amplifier may be used on a shelf, or mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack using the screws and washers supplied. For rack mounting, remove and retain the four feet from the bottom of the amp chassis using a #2 Philips screwdriver.
  • Page 4: Speaker Cable Connections

    SPEAKER CABLE CONNECTIONS: The C-20 includes a 20’ special purpose cable to connect the Control Amplifier to the Monitor. While these cables look similar to standard microphone cables, they are constructed with lower and more consistent conductor impedance. Portions of the C-20’s crossover circuitry are located in both the amplifier and speaker enclosures, and the cables supplied are an important part of this electrical network.

    SPL helps to assure consistent results. VAC: This is a reading of the AC power line voltage being supplied to the C-20. It is useful for assuring that power conditions are correct and sufficient for all the equipment on the circuit. Sustained readings below 110 V may limit your maximum output levels, and could indicate that the AC circuit is overloaded.
  • Page 6: Position Control

    The C-20 may be adjusted to compensate for this change, and provide flat response at various listening distances. Setting the control in the“FF” (far-field) position gives the maximum high frequency output. Each step counter clockwise (moving toward the near-field position) attenuates the 20 kHz by an additional .75 dB with the...

    (see fig. 8 below) from the primary listening area. This is important in order to insure equal arrival time of all channels to the listening position. Ideally, the tweeter height on the C-20 monitor, as with all channels, should be on axis with your ears, or slightly above.
