CITATION X
ASSEMBLY & OPERATION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You are now the owner of the world's finest speaker system. Designed in the finest Citation tradition by Stewart Hegeman, Director of Engineering of the Citation Kit Division, and Donald Chave of Lowther, this speaker represents the culmination of eleven years of extensive research and experimentation in omni-directional sound.
This speaker places no limits upon performance. It can perfectly reproduce the entire complex audio spectrum with natural tone quality. The Citation X diffuses sound in a hemispheric radiation pattern by a blend of direct and reflected sound. In creating this design, the precise process of what occurs in a concert hall has now been duplicated.
Audio engineers know that approximately 80% of the sound in a good concert hall is reflected from the ceilings, walls, etc. It is this mixture of direct and reflected sound that gives music its depth and dimension, its exciting spatial quality.
The Citation X achieves precisely this effect by distributing music on vertical and horizontal planes. Conventional speakers beam the sound at you on a horizontal plane--similar to automobile headlights. In stereo, this is akin to listening to the full orchestra through two holes in the wall. Replace the conventional speakers with Citation X and the wall disappears. You are in the same room with the music. There is no ping-pong effect; no "hole-in-the-middle." All of the music is there in all of its depth and dimension and reality. For the first time, the word "presence" has been made meaningful.
The basic elements of the Citation X are the Lowther driver and the Hegeman enclosure design--a split, slot-loaded conical horn, with two 7 1/2 feet sections folded within the enclosure.
The driver is a massive Lowther unit specifically engineered for the Citation system. It provides omni-directional sound by:
* Direct radiation from front of cone.
* Radiation from the midrange "whizzer" cone which operates between 2000 and 7000 cycles.
* A stabilizer which places a damping load on the cone and acts as a diffuser and distributor of the very highs.
* Radiation from the back of the main cone which is directly coupled to the folded horn.
Features of the specially designed drive include: magnetic structure of anistropic magnetic alloy (Ticonal G) which is the most efficient magnet material known today; usable frequency range of 20 to 50,000 cps; gap flux--17,500 gauss; total flux 196,000 maxwells; aluminum voice coil for increased high frequency efficiency; twin cone construction with foam plastic front and rear suspension.
Conventional horn designs use an acoustic chamber to couple the diaphragm to the throat of the horn. In the Citation X, the chamber is removed and the driver placed directly into the throat of the horn. This eliminates the last resonating element in the horn configuration and results in absolutely smooth transfer of radiation between horn and driver.
Instead of the conventional "open mouth", the Citation X horn terminates in a slot at the base of the enclosure. This presents the horn and driver with the impedance of an infinite horn. Thus, phase shift is reduced within the horn and room reflections are prevented from entering the horn's mouth and reaching the driver. Pressure loading by the horn damps completely the mechanical resonance of the cone and its suspension.
The interior of the handsome, hand-rubbed walnut enclosure is constructed of Timblend, which has no directive resonance and is stronger than wood. The entire internal horn structure is honeycombed for strength and prevention of panel resonance.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly prior to assembly of the speaker system. Keep it available for future reference.
SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES
DRIVER
* 8" unit manufactured to our specifications by Lowther Manufacturing Company, Bromley, Kent, England.
* Magnet structure is Ticonal G with a gap flux of 17,500 gauss and a total flux of 196,000 maxwells.
* Total weight of CL-1 driver is 7 1/2 pounds.
* Cone resonance is below 30 cycles per second.
* Power rating is greater than 30 watts integrated program material. Driver is protected by fuse located on rear of cabinet.
* Nominal impedance is 16 ohms.
* Usable frequency range within the Citation horn is 20-50,000 cycles per second.
* Special stabilizer to evenly disperse the high frequencies and provide loading to the cone.
* Voice coil is constructed of aluminum wire for low mass and strength.
* Double plastic foam surround (front and rear) allow tremendous excursions for exceptional low frequency response without restraining the cone. This vastly minimizes distortion.
HORN
* Split conical, slot-loaded folded horn, 7 1/2 feet per section.
* Timblend panels in a honeycomb construction are used for rigidity and elimination of panel resonances.
* Driver is coupled directly to the throat of the horn to eliminate the acoustic chamber normally found in conventional horn configurations. This removes the last resonating element in the horn design.
* Slot loading prevents room reflections from entering the mouth of the horn and reaching the driver. This minimizes the standing wave ratio within the horn and results in a relatively constant impedance reflected back to the amplifier.
SYSTEM
* Low moving mass of the cone plus horn loading provides clear articulate bass never before achieved in speaker design.
* Acoustic Balance Control to compensate for room acoustics.
* Phase distortion virtually non-existent.
* Size--20 1/8" wide x 14 1/8" deep x 36 7/8" high.

NOTE
Installation of the Citation X name plate is optional. If it is to be used, follow the instructions on the name plate mounting template for the suggested location on the cabinet.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKER TO THE AMPLIFIER
Most any type of wire may be used to connect the speaker to the amplifier. The only consideration is that the gauge of wire used should be #18 or heavier. Two-conductor lamp cord (commonly called "Zip" cord) is quite satisfactory.
It is important that polarity (+ and -) be observed when connecting two or more speakers in a stereo installation, to assure proper phasing of the speakers. When the speakers are properly phased, the cones will move in unison, both moving forward during a specific segment of the driving signal, rather than one moving forward (creating a positive pressure wavefront) while the other moves backward (creating a negative pressure). To assure proper phasing, the "+" terminal of each speaker should be connected to the 16 ohm output terminal of the amplifier (as in Figure #2), while the "-" terminal is connected to the ground terminal of the amplifier.

USING THE CITATION X LOUDSPEAKERS FOR STEREO
Due to its wide dispersion of the complete frequency spectrum, the Citation X loudspeaker system is not bound by the usual rules of room placement and listening location set down for stereo listening over conventional loudspeaker systems.
The combination of direct and reflected radiation presented to the listener prevents unnatural focusing of the sound source, and gives instead an area source for generation of the music. The normal tendency for more than one musical instrument to occupy the same point in space is completely absent, thus minimizing what we have come to describe as "Spatial Distortion" in musical reproduction.
No set rules can be propounded for determining the optimum loudspeaker placement and a certain amount of experimenting on your own part may well be rewarding. A shift of as little as 6 inches in a loudspeaker position can make a surprisingly large change in the sound in the room.
Our experience with a large variety of custom installations in homes, studios, and auditoriums has given us a number of basic configurations that work well.
- SMALL ROOM—TWO SPEAKER ARRANGEMENT

FIGURE 1
Here it is desirable to increase the listening depth of the room. Lateral spread is not as important as moving away from the orchestra back in the hall. This is accomplished by placing the speakers along the wall as in Figure 1. The sound appears to originate from the dotted area, which creates the impression of extending beyond the dimensions of the room.
- NORMAL ROOM—TWO SPEAKER ARRANGEMENT

Here the room is large enough to listen in depth but more lateral spread is desirable.
Where too great a spread is obtained on any given program material, cross feeding via the blend control (available on most good preamplifiers) will fill in the middle and reduce separation to any desired degree.
- LONG NARROW ROOM—TWO SPEAKER ARRANGEMENT

FIGURE 3
This room provides ample depth but lateral separation is needed. Adjust wall position to suit.
- SQUARE ROOM—TWO SPEAKER ARRANGEMENT

FIGURE 4
An extremely effective presentation of spacious stereo sound is produced by this arrangement. Changing the position of the speakers along the wall will vary the spread and depth.
5. IRREGULAR SHAPED ROOMS
Rooms with irregular shapes generally lend themselves to the same treatment as outlined above.
6. LARGER ROOMS, STUDIO, ETC.
Larger rooms, studios, auditoriums and more stubborn irregularly shaped rooms are best handled with a three speaker arrangement. In fact, our experience has shown the three speaker setup to out shine the two in every way except
cost and complexity. The extra degree of spatial control produces breathtaking realism with a wide variety of program source material.

FIGURE 5
The center channel speaker is fed by a separate amplifier providing a 50-50 mix of the A and B signals with its own level control. Overall level is set and balanced with the A and B channel controls. As the center channel control is advanced a point is reached where every instrument in the orchestra seems to drop into place and the listener moves right into the concert hall with the music.
Monophonic listening to the two or three speaker setup (also called ambiphonic) is entirely satisfactory and in some cases can hardly be distinguished from stereo.
ACOUSTIC BALANCE
The acoustic balance control in the rear of the loudspeaker gives a measure of control to obtain correct musical balance between highs and lows in the listening room. Additional variation can be obtained, if needed, by controlling the wall surface around the loudspeaker. A hard painted plaster wall gives a bright sound. A wall paper softens somewhat, and a fabric drape softens the sound even further.
Our own preference in listening rooms is one softened by wall paper, but not dulled by too much absorption of high frequencies. Care should be used in applying sound absorbent material as it it usually more effective at the higher frequencies and can by over-absorption, accentuate the low frequency resonances (standing waves) produced by the dimensions of the room itself.
A good measure of satisfactory acoustics for good musical reproduction is conversation. In any good listening room it is possible to talk with another person in any part of the room without projecting ones voice, or having to raise it either in pitch or level. The room should not color a voice with extra chestiness or echo, nor thin it out.
