Congratulations on your purchase of the Dayton Audio

center channel speaker is designed to complement other Dayton Audio speakers

in a multichannel home theater system and produce balanced, natural sound with

excellent sonic detail that rivals many more expensive speakers. Please read on to

discover how to get the most from your new center channel speaker.

1 Parts Inventory

The C452 speaker package includes the following items:

1 Dayton Audio C452 speaker

●

1 speaker cable, 2-conductor red/black

●

2 Installation Tools

No tools are required for installation of the C452 speakers. Additional tools and

hardware may be required for wall mounting.

3 Speaker Placement

The purpose of a center channel loudspeaker is to provide clear, intelligible

audio that is localized to the screen. The ideal location for your C452 center

channel speaker is centered above or below your TV or projection screen.

The C452 speaker features dual wall hangers on the rear of the enclosure to

facilitate safe and level on-wall mounting using drywall screws, and soft non-

marking rubber feet to allow vibration-free shelf placement.

CAUTION: The C452 center channel speaker is compact in size, but

substantial in weight. When wall-mounting or shelf-mounting the C452

speaker, be sure that the shelf or wall hangers are anchored to the structure of

the building via a stud or drywall insert, to prevent falling of the loudspeakers

and potential injury.

4 Speaker Connection

Use the supplied speaker wire or other good quality wire for the connection

between your Dayton Audio loudspeakers and the amplifier. For longer runs,

heavier wire should be used. For proper performance in a home theater

surround sound environment, all speakers in the surround sound system must

be connected correctly. To ensure proper polarity, connect the red speaker

terminals to the red amplifier terminals and the black speaker terminals to the

black amplifier terminals. All 2-conductor wire is marked in some way to help

you do this. One side will be marked with a colored stripe, a raised rib, or a

different colored conductor. Use the marked side for the "red" connections.

5 Caring For Your Speakers

Clean your speakers by wiping with a damp, lint-free cloth. The finish of your

speakers can be maintained and enhanced by periodic use of a surface

protection such as "ArmorAll". The grills may be vacuumed or gently tapped or

brushed to remove dust and debris.

POWER RATING NOTE: Almost any speaker can be used successfully

with almost any amplifier. Conversely, almost any speaker can be damaged

by almost any amplifier—despite either unit's power rating. The published

power rating is accurate only if the volume level is never set above the point of

audible distortion. Distortion is an indication that the amplifier or loudspeaker

is operating beyond its design limits, and damage may occur – often within

seconds. If you hear distortion, immediately reduce the volume. The C452 is

designed to be used with stereo equipment rated from 5 to 60 watts and from

4 to 8 ohms.

Dayton Audio loudspeakers are designed to reproduce music and speech in a

home environment at moderate volume levels. When used within their limits,

Dayton Audio loudspeakers will provide many years of trouble free performance.
