INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Russound Acclaim 7 Series In-wall LCR Speaker.
Like all Russound speakers, they combine acoustic technology with durability
and will provide years of musical enjoyment. The Acclaim line provides
solutions for background music, dedicated music listening and home theater.
The 7 Series combines premium acoustic materials, with our most advanced
drivers to deliver exceptional performance in every application. From
background music to spectacular surround sound, Acclaim speakers oer the
nest sound around.
Iso-Mount technology takes the Acclaim 7 Series beyond ordinary In-wall
speakers by reducing undesirable wall vibrations with a unique thermopolymer
isolation mounting gasket. Where typical In-wall speakers lack clarity due to
speaker-induced wall vibrations, Iso-Mount speakers oer dramatic sonic
improvement by letting the music come only from the speakers, not from the
wall. In addition, the innovative Twist & Lock mounting system incorporated in
Iso-Mount models provides exceptionally easy and secure installation.
Iso-Mount speakers have a molded-in IR receiver opening that allows
mounting an infrared remote receiver through the speaker bae. The polymer
plug is designed to pop out for screw-in installation of an IR receiver such as
the Russound SaphIR™ Eye without damaging the speaker bae.
In addition to Iso-Mount and Twist & Lock features, Russound Acclaim 7 Series
speakers feature high quality drivers, sophisticated crossover networks, and
advanced designs to ensure optimum reproduction.
The Treble frequency adjustment switch allows you to tailor the sound of
Acclaim speakers to better match the listening environment. The switch oers
three settings: +3 dB, -3 dB, or 0 dB. It is located on the front bae.
In a home theater, the LCR is intended for use in the front left, center, and
right positions adjacent to the video display. In stereo audio applications, a
pair of LCR speakers can be used for the left and right channels.
The benet is that one speaker model can be used for the three front channels
in a home theater. This provides identical voicing in all three positions, which
improves clarity and imaging.
Because the LCR is magnetically shielded, it can be used next to CRT televisions
without causing picture distortion. A separate subwoofer is recommended to
reproduce the lowest frequencies.
Although intended primarily for use as front speakers, the LCR models can
also be used as surround speakers in a multichannel audio system. As an
alternative, any Russound in-wall or in-ceiling speaker would work well for the
surround channels.
