RC-LCR Enceinte de canal central

Bragging rights

The Reference Connoisseur Series has been designed to reflect the principles behind every Energy speaker:

• 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, With Veritas, every note is delivered accurately—and the sound is as natural as possible.
• Wide and Constant Dispersion:  Sound at all frequencies radiating from the speaker is in an even pattern, in all directions throughout the room.
• Low Distortion and Resonance:  No speaker system is distortion- or resonance-free, but Energy achieves a significantly lower "distortion level"; for a clearly audible improvement.

The RC-LCR bass reflex center/LCR channel speaker is packed with high-performance features:

• Our Tapered Crossover System provides improved imaging accuracy and wide, constant dispersion
• Two 5.5-inch Ribbed Elliptical Surround woofers for high efficiency, low distortion
• An aluminum dome tweeter and dual 2-inch aluminum cone midranges for sonic accuracy and durability
• Dual rear vented cabinet for deep, powerful bass response

Since no two installations are ever alike, every RC-LCR speaker includes port plugs, so that the speaker can also be installed in a cabinet or bookshelf.  These plugs ensure the smoothest frequency response is achieved, reproducing the emotion of every recording.  The no-compromise design delivers the smoothest, most natural sound available, with great looks.  Don’t settle for less than perfection.

Maximum performance tips

The center channel speaker needs to be centrally located so that the dialogue appears to be coming from the center of the screen. It needs to be above or below the monitor, as closely to it as possible. If you’re using a rear projection television, the most likely option is to place it above the screen. If you have a front projection system, you have choices—stand mounting, or placement on furniture, for example. It is important, though, to place the speaker so that its front edge is even with the edge of the shelf or stand supporting it. Unwanted diffraction occurs when the center channel is too far back into a cabinet or other surface with edges that could impede sound dispersion.

For left or right channels, the distance between the speakers should be 6-8 feet at minimum for the best stereo imaging. The optimum room shape is rectangular, with the speakers along one of the shorter walls, facing the opposite side. If possible, do not place speakers against a wall or at rear of a bookshelf; corner placement is usually the worst option. Try to keep the speakers—especially rear vented models—at least two feet from the surface behind it, unless you use the vent plugs.
