OWNER’S GUIDE  
 
MODEL: L820  
The L820 loudspeakers are  
designed to be oriented  
horizontally, as shown in the  
illustrations below. Although  
these loudspeakers are

between them.  
designed as a mirrored pair,  
the decision as to which one  
is left or right will depend on  
For stereo-only applications:  
A wider stereo image is  
Less than 1,8m-2,4m  
presented with the tweeter/  
midrange array outboard, and  
a tighter image is presented  
with the array inboard.

For home theater applications:  
This placement provides a  
wide spread in sound,  
supplemented by the center  
channel speaker.

(0-2ft)  
MODELS: LC1, LC2  
The LC1 and LC2 center  
channel loudspeakers are  
designed to complement all of  
the Studio L Series loud-  
speakers. Either speaker is  
ideal for re-creating the  
cinematic experience in your  
home.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS  
Speakers and electronics  
have corresponding (+) and  
() terminals. It is important to  
connect both speakers  
identically: (+) on the speaker  
to (+) on the amplifier and ()  
on the speaker to () on the  
amplifier. Wiring out of  
phaseresults in thin sound,  
weak bass and poor imaging.  
BI-WIRING  
The bi-wire connection  
method requires one amplifier  
and two sets of speaker wires.  
By removing the shorting  
bars, connections may be  
made to the individual network  
sections using four conductors,  
one for each of the four  
terminals.

To use the binding-post  
speaker terminals, unscrew  
the colored collar until the  
pass-through hole in the  
center post is visible. Insert  
the bare end of the wire  
through this hole; then screw  
the collar down until the  
connection is tight.  
For single-wire connection,  
leave the shorting bars in  
place and connect only a  
single set of speaker wires  
(two conductors) to the two  
upper terminals.

The hole in the center of each  
collar is intended for use with  
banana-type connectors. To  
comply with European CE  
certification, these holes are  
blocked with plastic inserts at  
the point of manufacture. To  
use banana-type connectors  
requires the removal of the  
inserts. Do not remove these  
inserts if you are using the  
product in an area covered by  
the European CE certification.

these speakers should be

with your loudspeaker that  
degrees, these measurements  
may not work. In that case, it  
is recommended that you  
contact a professional custom  
installer, who can determine  
the correct locations for the  
pilot holes. Install the  
loudspeaker by slowly moving  
the cabinet toward the  
screws so that the screw  
heads clear the larger  
circular portion of the two  
keyholes. Once both screw  
heads have entered the  
keyholes, the loudspeaker  
should gently be lowered onto  
the screw shafts. Check that  
the loudspeaker is firmly

This product is not intended  
for ceiling mounting.  
216mm (8-1/2")  
368mm (14-1/2")  
Two Number 8 round-head or  
pan-head screws should be  
used for each loudspeaker.  
The screw head should be  
between 5/16 inch (8mm) and  
1/4 inch (6.3mm) in diameter,  
and the screw should be at  
least 2 inches (50mm) in  
length.  
See Figure 1. The holes  
should be 57mm below where  
you want the top of the  
enclosure to be positioned.  
Use a carpenters level to  
ensure that the holes are  
even and that the speaker will  
mount on the level.  
When installing screws in any  
wall, it is always preferable to  
screw them into a wall stud. If  
none is available, it is  
important to always use  
properly selected wall  
anchors.  
Install the two screws into  
either a wooden wall stud or  
anchor, and tighten them until  
the back of each screw head  
is about 1/8" (3mm) from the  
wall. See Figure 2.  
See Chart

(1/8")  
Models L810 and L820 may  
also be corner-mounted using  
the keyholes located on the  
bezeled corners. For corner  
mounting, fold the mounting  
template in half, place the fold  
in the corner at the desired  
height, and use the outer  
holes. In case the template is  
missing, for corner mounting  
drill each pilot hole 7-3/4"  
(197mm) from the corner for  
model L810, or 9-11/16"  
Attach two of the four self-  
adhesive rubber pads that  
came with the loudspeaker to  
the back of the enclosure in  
the two bottom corners so  
that the cabinet is spaced  
evenly from the wall. Select a  
suitable mounting location on  
a wall. (The ceiling is not a  
suitable mounting location.)

Drill two pilot holes,  
appropriately sized for the

wall anchor that you will be  
using. A template is included

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If there is no sound from  
any of the speakers:  
If there is no sound from  
the surround speakers:  
amplifier, and you should  
consult the owners manual for  
that product for further  
information. If the problem has  
followed the speaker, consult  
your dealer for further  
assistance or, if that is not  
for further information.  
If the system plays at low  
volumes but shuts off as  
volume is increased:  
Check that receiver/ampli-  
fier is on and that a source is  
playing.  
Check all wires and  
connections between  
receiver/ amplifier and  
speakers. Make sure all wires  
are connected. Make sure  
none of the speaker wires are  
frayed, cut, punctured or  
touching each other.  
Review proper operation of  
your receiver/amplifier.  
If there is no sound  
coming from one  
speaker:  
Review proper operation of  
your receiver/amplifier and its  
surround sound features.  
Check the Balance”  
control on your receiver/  
amplifier.  
Check all wires and  
connections between  
receiver/ amplifier and  
speakers.  
Make sure the movie or TV  
show you are watching is  
recorded in a surround sound  
mode. If it is not, check to see  
whether your receiver/  
amplifier has other surround  
modes you may use.  
Check all wires and  
connections between  
receiver/ amplifier and  
speakers.  
Make sure all wires are  
connected. Make sure none  
of the speaker wires are  
frayed, cut or punctured.  
Make sure no wires are  
touching other wires or  
terminals and creating a short  
circuit.  
If more than one pair of main  
speakers is being used, check  
the minimum impedance  
requirements of your  
receiver/amplifier.  
If there is no (or low)  
bass output:  
In Dolby Digital or DTS modes,  
make sure your receiver/  
processor is configured so that  
the surround speakers are  
enabled.  
Make sure all wires are  
connected. Make sure none  
of the speaker wires are  
frayed, cut or punctured.  
Review the operation of your  
DVD player and the jacket of  
your DVD to make sure that the  
DVD features the desired Dolby  
Digital or DTS mode, and that  
you have properly selected that  
mode using both the DVD  
players menu and the DVD  
discs menu.  
®
In Dolby* Digital or DTS  
modes, make sure that the  
receiver/processor is  
configured so that the  
speaker in question is  
enabled.  
Make sure the polarities  
(+ and ) of the left and right  
Speaker Inputsare  
connected properly.  
Consider adding a powered  
subwoofer to your system for  
use with digital .1surround  
formats.  
Turn off all electronics and  
switch the speaker in  
question with one of the other  
speakers that is working  
correctly. Turn everything  
back on, and determine  
whether the problem has  
followed the speakers, or has  
remained in the same  
channel. If the problem is in  
the same channel, the source  
of the problem is most likely  
with your receiver or
