Thank you for purchasing the Phase Technology
definition in-wall speaker system. Each pair of the CI150 makes an
LCR configuration. There is no need for a separate center channel
speaker. This is done by combining the output of each CI150's
center channel speaker. By running both lower speakers from the
center channel output on your amplifier the content sounds like it is
coming from the center of the TV screen. Because of this, special
consideration must be taken to run two sets of speaker leads to each
CI150. One will be connected to the left (or right) channel on your
amplifier and the other will be used on each CI150 for the center
channel. When you are ready to connect the speaker leads to your
amplifier you will have a set of leads for the left and right channel
and TWO sets of leads for the center channel. The CI160 is more of
a traditional LCR speaker, unlike the CI150. Each CI160 speaker is
used for a single Left, Right, or Center channel.
The mounting frame on the CI150/160 is made of extruded aluminum
and has a uniquely designed self-aligning clamping system to secure
the flange assembly to the drywall. This patented design simplifies
installation and reduces unwanted wall vibration resulting in improved
performance and definition.
All CI Series speakers include self-resetting solid-state PTC
protection circuits. This unique system is able to detect when the
speaker is being over-driven and lowers the speaker volume until the
problem is corrected. The PTC device then resets itself for normal
operation.
Regardless of application, serious audiophile listening or home
theater, we recommend that you take the time to read this manual
thoroughly before connecting speakers to your amplifier or receiver.
In the highly unlikely event that you should experience a problem with
set-up or operation, please contact one of our authorized dealers for
assistance, or contact us directly.
