The C-500 features advanced Energy audio engineering:
- Flat On-Axis Frequency Response with Wide Bandwidth: Speakers should reproduce the entire audio range in a uniform manner. By ensuring that no one frequency dominates any other, Energy ensures that every note is the way it was intended to be—and the sound as natural as possible.
- Wide and Constant Dispersion: Sound at all frequencies radiating from the speaker should be in an even pattern, in all directions throughout the room.
- Low Distortion and Resonance: No speaker system is distortion- or resonance-free, but Energy has achieved a significantly lower distortion level, a clearly audible improvement.
The C Series C-500 bass reflex, rear vented floorstanding speaker offers terrific performance and great features:
Dual 6.5-inch composite fiberglass woofers are mated to Energy’s exclusive Tapered Crossover system, to reproduce thunderous bass along with legendary dynamics and speed. The 1-inch chambered aluminum dome tweeter resides above the two woofers. This exclusive hyperbolicTM dome tweeter, now in its fifth generation, offers the dispersion, imaging and soundstage that’s made Energy brand speakers industry leaders.
Maximum performance tips
The distance between speakers typically should be 6-8 feet at minimum for good stereo imaging. The optimum room shape should be rectangular, with the speakers along one of the shorter walls, facing the opposite side. Wall or corner placement is not recommended. Try to keep the speakers—especially rear vented models—at least two feet from the surface behind it.
