8Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven atloud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier tooloud and not driving the speakers with more power than they canhandle. Remember, most amplifiers put out their full rated powerwell before the volume control is turned all the way up! If yourspeakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the amplifieror get a bigger one.Setting Your C/L/R 2300’sLow Frequency Level ControlYour C/L/R 2300 has a level control for the electronic crossover whichallows you to perfectly tune the output level of the powered low frequencysubwoofer section to match your room as well as to fulfill your own personallistening preferences. Please note that there are no controls to vary the cross-over points or phase because these have been factory set to provide perfectblending (a major performance benefit of this innovative product.) We sug-gest beginning with the level control set at approximately 2 o’clock. Setthe level control so that the sound is most pleasing to you. In general, whenused as a center channel, the C/L/R 2300 subwoofer should not be turned upexcessively high to add more “room shaking level bass” but should be keptin proper balance with the upper bass/midrange drivers in order to achieveproperly balanced high-impact full-range center channel presentation. Whenused as main LCR speakers in conjunction with an additional subwoofer ingeneral we would recommend keeping the level control around the 2 o’clockposition on your C/L/R 2300s and raising the level on your additional exter-nal subwoofer if you want more “room shaking bass”.If you use the C/L/R 2300 as left and right main front speakers,normally the level control of the left speaker will be set the same asthe level control of the right speaker. However, these controls canalso be set differently on the two speakers in order to allow you tovary the response of left and right speakers separately to compen-sate for variations and asymmetrical positioning of the left and rightspeakers in your room (i.e., when one is closer to a side wall orcorner, etc.) if this is how you must set them up. This is a veryunique and useful feature which allows you much greater flexibilityin loudspeaker placement, as well as the ability to optimize whatcould otherwise be difficult placement situations.
