In-Wall model
PE-W620-LCRSf
6-1/2" In-Wall LCR Loudspeaker with Rotating Waveguide
Congratulations! You have purchased a high quality stereo
loudspeaker. When matched to comparable electronic
equipment, expect years of quality high fidelity sound. Our
belief is that music matters and we are focused on delivering
superlative music reproduction everywhere in your home.
The following manual is designed to give you, the installer or
owner, basic information as to the speaker's installation and
operation. It is beyond the scope of this manual to go into all the
details that must be taken into consideration in a sophisticated
high fidelity system. When installing the wiring and speakers it is
important to adhere to all local codes and regulations. Consulting
a professional will help to maximize your system's performance.
If you have any questions that are not answered by this manual,
contact your local dealer for assistance. For the most current

SHIPPING DAMAGE
Each speaker is thoroughly tested before it leaves the factory.
However, in shipment, accidents may occur. Please inspect your
speakers carefully when you receive them to make sure there
is no damage. If there is, please notify your dealer, or supplier
immediately for assistance. If you received your speakers by
public transportation, report the damage at once to the shipping
company.
AMPLIFIER OPERATION
These speakers will perform well with amplifiers from 5 to 125
Watts RMS. However, damage to the speakers can be done by
amplifiers of nearly any power rating if the amplifier is overdriven
into clipping. "Amplifier clipping" is a phrase used to describe
a condition when, because of the volume demand, an amplifier
is being asked for more power than it can give. Clipping causes
distortion of the audio signal. If you should hear an unusual
amount of distortion at high listening levels then consider
reducing the volume. DAMAGE DONE TO A SPEAKER BY CLIPPING
IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
HOW IS THIS SPEAkER DIFFERENT?
This speaker was designed and engineered to provide the finest
performance achievable in a compact package. The custom
waveguide is unique in the industry and provides cross-axis
performance that gives every listener in the room a sense of
envelopment unmatched by other speakers in this category.
By focusing the sound field across the listening space, the
listener experiences a more balanced and symmetric sound level,
especially when the main speakers are spaced more closely than
is ideal, (common in many of today's home theaters).

The waveguide also increases the
efficiency of the tweeter, allowing it
to operate with far less input power
and significantly lower distortion.
This same waveguide also allows the
tweeter to operate a full octave lower
than conventional dome tweeters. This
allows the tweeter to cover more of the
critical voice range.
This same cross-axis tweeter design
creates a much smoother off-axis
listening experience, eliminating the
midrange-hole that is commonly
experienced with conventional
designs. Additionally, by controlling the
directivity of the sound field, the early
reflections that occur from nearby walls
and furniture are reduced so that more of the direct sound from the
speakers are heard, improving the intelligibility and detail of the
original sound source.
Finally, the inset tweeter produces a time aligned position and
excellent phase coherency with the woofer, improving the off-axis
performance, both in the vertical and horizontal directions.
SOME OF THE WAyS THIS SPEAkER CAN bE uSED
This speaker can be used for 2-channel High Resolution audio
or for nearly any speaker location within a home theater system.
The following chart provides suggested tweeter orientations for a
number of common speaker locations within a home theater. We
encourage you to experiment with the tweeter orientation to see
what works best within your system, especially with surround
placements.
While it may seem unconventional to use this speaker in the
Landscape orientation for the center dialog speaker, it is actually
well suited because of the excellent phase coherency between the
tweeter and woofer. The speaker actually outperforms most of MTM
(Mid-Tweeter-Mid) designs that have become commonplace for the
center dialog channel.
ROTATING THE TWEETER
• The tweeter should be rotated into the desired position for optimal
performance.
• There are detents every 15 degrees. The tweeter will lock into these
detents when positioned over them.
• Press firmly at the edge of the tweeter waveguide using 4 fingers.
• A gap of about 2mm will appear at the edge when depressed.
• Rotate the tweeter into the desired position, releasing when you
feel a detent.
