InTrODuCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of ENERGY ^® speakers! Proprietary technology and high quality manufacturing will allow you to enjoy the most natural and accurate music reproduction for many years. The advice offered in this manual is aimed at helping you maximize and maintain peak performance, and therefore, your listening satisfaction. Please take the time to read all of the instructions contained in this manual to make certain your system is properly installed and functioning correctly.
COMPanY BaCKGrOunD
ENERGY ^® speakers are the result of extensive research into accurate sonic reproduction and represent the leading edge in speaker design and performance. The finest components and cabinet materials combined with sophisticated manufacturing and quality control procedures ensure many years of exceptional performance and listening pleasure.
CaBIneT Care
Great care and craftsmanship has gone into the construction and finish of the cabinet. Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Do not use paper towels or other abrasive materials as it may damage the finish.

FRONT SPEAKER PLACEMENT (DIAGRAM 1)
For best stereo imaging, the left and right speakers should be the same distance from their respective side walls. If the distance from one speaker to the listener is very different from the other it can affect the soundstage or stereo imaging. Therefore, the ideal position is having the speakers equidistant to the listener.
A general guideline for speaker placement is to set up the space between speaker and listener at approximately 1-1/2 times the distance between the speakers. For example, if the speakers are placed a minimum of 6-feet (1.8m) apart (the absolute minimum), the best seating position would be 9-feet (2.4m) away.
CENTER CHANNEL PLACEMENT (DIAGRAM 1)
A center channel can be expected to reproduce as much as 60% of a movie's soundtrack, most of which is dialogue. In order to maintain the effect of voices emanating from the actor's mouth, the center speaker should be centrally located between the left and right main channels and placed above or below the television. Be sure that the center speaker's front baffle is flush with the front face of the television or cabinet to maximize dispersion.
SURROUND SPEAKER PLACEMENT (DIAGRAM 1)
The surround speakers can be positioned in a variety of locations. The surround placement is usually dictated by the room, where the walls and room boundaries happen to be, and where speaker cable can be easily run.
The most common surround speaker locations are the following:
Side walls: For best results in side wall mounting applications, position the speakers adjacent to and slightly behind the primary listening area at a height of approximately 6 feet.
Rear walls: For best results mounting on a rear wall, position the speakers so they flank the main listening area and point towards the front of the room. They should be raised to a height of approximately 6 feet and should ideally have a space of 6 feet between them.
WALL MOUNT OPTIONS (DIAGRAM 1A)
The Take Classic system can be wall mounted using the keyhole or threaded insert on the back. The threaded insert is an imperial 1/4-20 thread and should be compatible with various aftermarket mounting systems.

Caution: *Turn off all power in your audio/video system before proceeding with your installation. Not doing so could result in potential damage to the system.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS (DIAGRAM 2)
On the rear of your ENERGY ^® Take Classic speakers are red and black 5-way binding posts. Using standard speaker wire, connect the system one channel at a time, and start your process at the receiver. Connect the speaker wire from the positive (RED+) terminal on the receiver to the positive (RED+) terminal on the speaker. Connect the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the receiver to the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the speaker. Do this one channel at a time until all of your speakers are connected properly. Be careful to correctly match positive and negative, as well as the correct speaker to the correct channel.
NOTE: If you inadvertently reverse one of the connections (i.e., red to black), you will notice a severe lack of bass from your system. This is called wiring the system "Out of Phase". If this occurs, check the wiring and re-connect as necessary.

RECEIVER SETTINGS
The recommended setting for the front, rear and center speakers is the “small” position.
AMPLIFIER REQUIREMENTS
All ENERGY Speakers are designed to operate on a wide range of receivers and/or amplifiers. The impedance for all models is rated at 8 ohms, allowing almost any amplifier to function well. Of course, the better the amplifier and the system components, the better the overall system will sound.
Warning: If an amplifier or receiver is over-driven, the resulting distortion is actually many times greater than its rated power. Over-driven amplifier distortion is called "Clipping", easily identified by its fuzzy, distorted sound, and can damage any speaker. The volume control of most amplifiers and receivers is a logarithmic type, which means that full power may be reached with the volume control set at as little as the halfway point. Operating the loudness, treble, or bass controls increases power output well beyond rated levels. The warranty on your speakers is therefore void if the voice coils are burned or damaged as a result of overpowering or clipping.
