Energy RC-10 B [2/18] Important safety instructions read carefully

We are proud to welcome you as an owner of ENERGY

Speaker Systems'

Reference Connoisseur Series. 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.

Please take time to read all of the instructions contained in this manual to make

certain your system is properly installed and set up for optimal sound reproduction.

Be sure to unpack your system carefully. Retain the carton and all packing material

for future use.

UNPACKING

Using a knife carefully cut the tape to open the package. Fold the carton flaps back

and slide the speaker and packaging from the box. When removing the RC-30,

RC-50 or RC-70 floorstanding speaker, stand the box upright, cut the tape and slide

the speaker from the box. Remove all inner packaging and parts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The Reference Connoisseur Series floorstanding models RC-30, RC-50 and RC-70

are designed to be used with spikes and feet for the speakers' bottom. It is

important that these are installed properly as they provide stability and also add to

the cosmetic look of the speakers.

Contents:

4 - Self adhesive rubber bumpers

4 - Protective discs (RC-30, RC-50, RC-70 only)

4 - Spikes (RC-30, RC-50, RC-70 only)

4 - Nuts (RC-30, RC-50, RC-70 only)

1 - Wrench (RC-30, RC-50, RC-70 only)

1 - High gloss black plinth/base/base (RC-30, RC-50, RC-70 only)

1 - High density port plug (RC-10)

2 - High density port plugs (RC-LCR)

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

It is VITAL that your new Reference Connoisseur speakers be allowed to break-in

properly before you perform any precise set up procedures, system adjustments, and

before you play them at higher volume levels. The best method of performing the

break-in is to play a full range musical passage at a moderate level as long as

possible. Utilizing the repeat function on your CD or DVD player can assist greatly.

Optimum sound will not be achieved until approximately 100 hours of playing time.

After break-in, the volume level can be increased. Do not play the speakers at high

levels until the break-in process has been completed. The transducers need to

“loosen up”, and until this occurs, damage can result to the transducers.

PLINTH/BASES

The RC-30, RC-50 and RC-70 floorstanding speakers come out of the box with high

gloss black plinth/bases attached to their bottom. The plinth/bases are removable if

you so choose, by unscrewing the 4 round head machine bolts that attach the

plinth/base to the cabinet. Care should be taken to not damage the speaker or

plinth/base during removal. Plinth/bases ensure a larger surface area, and therefore

provide greater stability to the speaker. Please see diagram 1.

SPIKES

Spikes are included with every floorstanding speaker and are designed to decouple

the speaker from the floor. With the speaker upside-down (be sure to protect the

speaker surface when doing this), insert the spikes into the threaded insert in the

plinth/base. Using the supplied wrench, tighten the nut on each spike, to ensure a

sturdy and stable footing is established. The nuts also allow for the speaker balance

to be fine tuned when the speaker is standing up, ensuring the speaker is level and

plumb. If your flooring is hardwood or a hard surface like tile, laminate flooring, etc,

the included protective discs are designed to be placed between the spike and the

floor, with the padded side down, to protect your flooring. Simply lay the protective

discs on the floor and position the speaker so the point of the spike fits into the

hole in the top of the protective disc. If you have removed the plinth/base, spikes

can be inserted directly into the threaded inserts in the bottom of the speaker. When

using carpeting, ensure no wiring beneath the carpeting is pierced by the spike. If

you do not wish to use spikes or spikes with protective discs, self adhesive rubber

bumpers are included, to protect hardwood or hard surface floors. DO NOT SLIDE

THE SPEAKER WITH THE SPIKES INSTALLED, THIS WILL DAMAGE YOUR FLOORS

AND YOUR SPEAKERS. Please see diagram 2.

MAGNETIC SHIELDING

While all Reference Connoisseur series speakers are magnetically shielded, stray

magnetic fields can still exist. Placing your Reference Connoisseur speakers on top

or beside your CRT based television should not cause any interference. In the case

where there is some minor discoloration, simply move the speaker forward or

backwards or away from the television a few inches, this generally resolves the

issue. Note: LCD, DLP and Plasma displays do not suffer from magnetic interference.

CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKERS

All of the models in the Reference Connoisseur Series have the same high quality

gold plated binding post connectors, so connection to each channel offers the same

options.

You should utilize high quality speaker cables, up to 12 gauge (AWG). The Reference

Connoisseur series will accept a variety of connector types including spade lugs,

banana jacks, or pin type connectors. The best connector in our opinion is the

"Spade lug" as it provides more contact area with the terminal and allows the

binding post to be tightened for a secure connection. Audiophiles and novices alike

have preferences as to which connector type they favor, speak with your Authorized

ENERGY retailer as to which is the best for your Audio Video System. Rest assured,

plain speaker wire is more than acceptable, you can always upgrade your wires

and/or connectors later on.

In the case where you wish to use banana type plugs, simply unscrew

the binding post nut in a counter clock-wise fashion, until it comes

completely off. Remove the plastic red or black insert and reconnect the

binding post nut. The plastic insert is a mandatory security measure, as

dictated by many local and federal government associations. Please see

diagram 3.

To Connect your speaker system: Start at one speaker, and connect one channel at a

time, starting with the front speakers. Always ensure that the entire A/V system is

powered OFF before performing any connections. The positive and negative (red and

black) sides of the speaker terminals MUST match the positive and negative (red

and black) terminals of the receiver or amplifier. If they do not match, abnormal

sound and a lack of bass response will result. After connecting the front speakers,

connect the rest of the speakers to their appropriate channels of the receiver or

amplifier. The three connection methods and their explanations include:

TRADITIONAL CONNECTION METHOD (Please see diagram 4)

1) Using your choice of speaker wire and termination method, connect the speaker

cable (minding the positive and negative polarities), to the lower set of

connectors. Ensure the terminals are tight. The gold “shorting straps” that

connect the lower and upper connections must remain in place.

2) Repeat the procedure for the second speaker.

BI-WIRE METHOD (Please see diagram 5)

This method involves using multiple cables and connectors, to access both sets of

terminals on the Reference Connoisseur loudspeakers simultaneously. The benefit of

bi-wiring is to reduce noise, and reduce the likelihood of grounding problems, as

you will have twice the thickness of cable between the amp and speakers as the

traditional method would provide. For more details on the benefits of bi-wiring,

please discuss this with your authorized ENERGY

retailer.

NOTE: Before starting, remove the gold “shorting straps”, which connect the top

and bottom set of input terminals. To remove the straps, loosen all of the

connectors and pull the straps away from the binding posts. Make sure you put

them in a safe place for future use.
