FEATURES
o Grille made by specially molding natural
walnut and utilizing various patented tech-
niques. Charming and harmonizing grille, a
result of the research PIONEER has been
making for a long time.
o Two dome-shaped super-tweeters
ln addition to a powerful 15" t38 cm)
woofer, 5" (12 cm) mid-range speaker, horn
tweeter, and cone tweeter, two newly
developed dome-shaped super-tweeters are
used. lt is a five-way system consisting of
six speakers.
. Fine treble, and clear mid-range and bass:
Fine treble is produced by the n-ewly designed
dome-shaped super-tweeters Comfortable bass
and clear mid-range sound are emitted by the
combination of the 15" (38 cm) woofer
contained in a precision-designed closed
enclosure and the mid-range speaker having
a high sensitivity and low distortion factor.
o Widely usable speaker system
The Model CS-99 has an efficiency as high as
98 dB/w, and a high maximum input of 80
watts. Combined with a high-power amplifier,
it displays the full capability for high volume
reproduction. Operated with an amplifier hav-
ing an output of about 10 watts, it gives a
sufficient sound volume. Provided with a jack
for tape recorder playback, Model CS-9g can
be simply used with a tape recorder.
CONNECTION TO AMPLIFIER
Connect the INPUT terminals (see illustra-
tion) to the 8S/ output terminal of the amplifier
to be used. Some transistor amplifiers do not
have their output terminals marked 8S/. How-
ever, most transistor amplifiers are designed for
connection to a speaker system having an
impedance of 4 to 10 ,fl. Therefore, Model CS-gg
can be connected to such an amplifier without
problem. lt is important to connect the positive
(+) terminal of Model CS-gg to the positive
terminal of the amplifier output, and the nega-
tive (-) terminal of Model CS-gg to the negative
terminal of the amplifier output. Wires of the
accessory cord are colored differently to ensure
correct connection of terminals.
USE OF LEVEL CONTROL
The tone control of your amptifier is first
adjusted to provide a flat frequency response. lf
the amplifier has the loundness contour control,
turn it off. And then, the level control of the
Model CS-99 may be adjusted to set the
output sounds to your most pleasing tonal
quality. When the level control is set to lN-
CREASE, it provides a standard flat response
and when it is set to NORMAL, it puts out a
response with its highs either damped by 3dB.
When it is set to DECREASE, it puts out a
response with its highs damped by 6dB.
CONNECTION TO TAPE
RE CORDE R
The Model CS-99 is equipped with a jack for
connection to a tape recorder. lf the tape
recorder to be used is provided with a speaker
output terminal, the sound reproduced by the
tape recorder can be emitted from the Model
CS-99 by simply connecting them as shown in
Fig. 1. Remember that the impedance of the
speaker is 8 Sl .

NOTE
The cabinet of the Model CS-99 is made of
walnut, the same material as that of high-class
furniture. lt is oil-finished to make the most of
the characteristics of natural walnut. The quality
can be retained for long by polishing it with wax
every three or four months. Evenly wax the
cabinet with dry cloth. Completely wipe off
excessive wax by rubbing the cabinet along the
grain with a new piece of dry cloth, and polish it.
lf the cabinet should be scratched, gently
rub the scratched portion with steel wool or
sandpaper ( # 400-500), apply wax, and polish
there.

LISTENING TECHNIOUES
Better sound effect can be obtained by laying
a rug on the floor and hanging a curtain on the
wall which is opposite to the front of the
speaker system. ln stereo reprocluction, the
distance between right and left speakers much
affects the sound emitted. lt is recommended
to locate the speakers 5 to I feet apart.
* The sensitivity has been measured in ac-
cordance with JIS C5531 set forth in 1969.
The value in parentheses is a corresponding
figure measured in accordance with the super-
seded JIS C5501. (JlS: Japan lndustrial
