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.

1) Using your choice of speaker wire and termination method, connect one speaker
cable from the amplifier (minding the positive and negative polarities) to the top
set of connectors. Ensure the terminals are tight.
2) Next, connect the second cable, from the same channel of your amplifier to the
lower set of terminals.
3) Repeat the procedure for the second speaker.
BI-AMPLIFICATION METHOD (Please see diagram 6)
This connection system involves the use of two separate two channel amplifiers to
power one set of speakers. The idea is to have one stereo amplifier connected to
one speaker, and another identical amplifier powering the second speaker. This is
often referred to as “Vertical” Bi-amplification. It is the only method ENERGY ®
recommends.
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.
1) Using your choice of speaker wire and termination method, connect one speaker
cable from the amplifier (minding the positive and negative polarities) to the top
set of connectors. Ensure the terminals are tight.
2) Next, connect the second cable, from the amplifier's other channel to the bottom
set of terminals, again ensuring a tight connection.
3) Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the second speaker using the second amplifier.
POSITIONING AND INSTALLING
YOUR SPEAKERS
Left and Right Main Speakers (RC-10, RC-30, RC-50, RC-70, RC-LCR)
The main speakers are usually placed in the front of the room, on either side of the
TV or video projector. They should be placed a minimum of 6 feet apart, and if the
furniture placement allows, keep them at least 12 inches from all walls. To calculate
the best placement, measure the distance between the speakers themselves and the
listening position. Your distance from the speakers should be roughly 1.5 times the
distance the speakers are apart from each other. For example: If the distance
between each speaker and the listening position is 9 feet, then the speakers should
be 6 feet apart from one another. This will provide excellent stereo separation and
imaging for music playback. This is just a starting point, the room's acoustics and
furniture placement will vary the placement of the speaker. Use your best judgment
and experiment with speaker placement. Slight adjustments can provide significant
improvements in performance.
RC-10
The RC-10 is designed to be used as a front left or right speaker, or as a rear channel
speaker. When installing the RC-10 bookshelf speaker to a wall, there is an insert built
into the back of the speaker, located above the input terminals. The threaded insert is
designed specifically for the Energy MacromountTM bracket, which is available from
your local authorized Energy retailer. Please see diagram 7.
The RC-10 includes two foam plugs in the carton, which are designed to be inserted
into the ports on the rear of the speaker, should the speaker be installed near a wall
or in a cabinet. Since the RC-10 is a rear ported speaker, placing it too close to a
reinforcing boundary, like a wall, will cause undesirable effects. Placing the speaker in
a bookshelf cabinet will also generate issues with low frequency reproduction. To
solve this problem simply insert a foam plug into the port on the rear of the speaker.
Please see diagram 8.
When the RC-10 is to be installed on a bookshelf or on a stand, please attach the 4
rubber bumpers to the bottom of the speaker, as this will protect both the mounting
surface and the speaker from damage. Simply peel the bumper off its sheet and stick
it in place on the bottom of the speaker, one bumper per corner. The rubber bumpers
also help decouple the speaker from the bookshelf or stand. Please see diagram 9.
RC-LCR
The RC-LCR is a left, center, right speaker, meaning it has been designed to be used in
both a horizontal or vertical fashion. This design means it can be mounted in either
plane, while exhibiting the same dispersion characteristics. Out of the box the Energy
logo is NOT attached to the grille, as this speaker can be positioned in various
directions. Once the final orientation of the speaker has been determined, select the
appropriate location on the grille, remove the adhesive protector and apply the logo
directly to the grille. Please see diagram 10.
When the RC-LCR is used as a center speaker, it is ideally placed as close to the center
of the TV or video projector as possible. This is to ensure that voices and all sounds
come from the performer's placement on screen. This may be on top, underneath, or
on a shelf within a wall unit or other furniture. Use the position that provides the best
sound quality, but keep in mind safety and room décor as well. The center channel
works best when the front of the speaker is flush with the TV, or the shelf it rests on. If
the center speaker is recessed in its placement, it will sound distant, and undefined in
character. Please see diagram 11.
When installing the RC-LCR into a cabinet, please insert the two included port plugs
into the ports on the rear of the speaker. When the speaker is inserted into a cabinet,
the rear ports will cause an overemphasis of low frequencies and must be plugged, in
order to achieve the best possible sound. Care should also be taken to fill the cabinet,
flush to the front of the speaker, with insulation as this helps to avoid diffraction
issues. Your authorized Energy retailer can assist you further with any issues. Please
see diagram 8.
When the RC-LCR is to be installed on top of a television, in a cabinet or on a shelf,
please attach the 4 rubber bumpers to the bottom of the speaker, as this will protect
both the mounting surface and the speaker from damage. Simply peel the bumper off
its sheet and stick one bumper in each corner on the speaker. Please see diagram 9.
RC-R
The rear speakers can vary greatly in position depending on the room layout, and
the furniture placement. The ideal position is either on the side walls, or rear walls.
Side Wall: This position utilizes the rear walls of the room to reflect sound and
create the "surround" effect.
Rear Wall: This is generally used when the side wall position is not available to you,
due to furniture placement or room dimensions. It is also used in a 6.1 or 7.1
surround configuration.
Both mounting positions have their advantages and disadvantages, the position
offering the best coverage of the entire room should be chosen. The goal of the
surround speakers during movie reproduction is to create an "atmosphere" around
you. The rear channel speakers are ideally placed an equal distance from you as
compared to the front speakers. But this is not always possible in a home
environment. The RC-R will emit sound from both sides of the speaker, and is best
placed where it can use the walls to reflect the sound around the listeners. The best
mounting position for a 5.1 system is the Side Wall position, as it makes use of the
rooms' rear walls, and side walls. It will create a lifelike surround effect and make
the room sound larger than it is. In this position, try to mount the speaker so that it
is beside you or slightly behind you. The height should be above ear level, at
approximately 2/3 of the height of the wall. 6 feet off of the ground is typically a
good starting point, and the speaker should be 2 feet above your head when
seated. These general guidelines should aid in positioning choices. Please see
diagram 12.
You can also achieve excellent results in the rear position. Try not to place the
speakers directly into a corner. Leave 2 or more feet between the edge of the
cabinet and the side wall, so the sound can reflect into the room environment. The
rear position is usually chosen when your room will not accommodate the side wall
position due to unequal walls, a doorway, or a large opening, etc. It is
recommended that the rear center (6.1 system) or dual rear surrounds (7.1) be
placed at the same height as the other two rear surround speakers wherever
possible.
MOUNTING YOUR RC-R SPEAKERS
NOTE: The RC-R features a very simple wall mounting system. Careful attention
must be made to mount it securely as the speaker is heavy and damage to the
product and/or injury could result from improper mounting. Please follow the
directions carefully! Please see diagram 13.
1) Select the mounting position best suited for your room.
2) Place the wall mounting bracket against the wall in the desired mounting
location and mark the center of the two holes with a pencil. This is where you
need to insert the appropriate mounting hardware to securely fasten a load of
15 lbs. Hardware is not included with the speaker, as building materials vary
greatly in different countries, but the recommended screw head size is a #8.
Screw length is to be determined by the wall material.
3) If you are mounting directly to drywall, please ensure that you use the
appropriate anchors, as screws into drywall itself will not provide a secure mount.
Insert the anchors, and then hold the mounting bracket up to the wall. Insert the
screws until tight. Try to locate into wall studs wherever possible.
4) Screw the included bolt into the insert in the back of the RC-R speaker, located
above the terminal cup. Hand tighten the bolt all the way, and then loosen a few
turns counter clockwise. Place the two included rubber bumpers on the back of
the speaker, on either side of the back label.
5) Hold the speaker upright, and insert the bolt head into the large hole. Let the
speaker slide down into place.
