Instruction manual

Connecting your Silver RS FX

The Silver RS FX’s are supplied as right hand or left hand units and both can be

configured to either bi-pole or di-pole. The factory setting is bi-pole as

illustratedin fig. 1below.

In bi-pole mode, all speaker units (mid/bass unit and tweeters) are in phase.

This feature is for when the RS FX is set up as a rear/surround speaker in a

typical 5.1 channel system. In di-pole mode, one of the HF units (tweeter) is out

of phase with the other tweeter and mid/bass unit. It is best to implement this

configuration when using the RS FX as part of a 7.1 channel system, with the RS

FX’s taking up positions on the sidewalls. Please note that the RS FX’s are left

and right handed. This is not an issue when used in bi-pole mode as a rear

surround speaker. It is essential that they are positioned correctly if used in a

7.1 channel system. Please refer to the positioning section on page 15, or go to

our web site at www.monitoraudio.co.uk. Alternative suggestions may also be

found in yourAV amplifier/receivermanual.

Before changing your RS FX’s from bi-pole mode to di-pole mode, please ensure

that the speaker wires are disconnected from your loudspeakers. This helps to

protectyour amplifier.

To change from bi-pole, to di-pole mode, the toggle switch on the crossover

panel needs to be moved from its factory set position (fig. 1) to the di-pole

position (fig. 2).

Please note that it is not possible to connect these speakers

independently by bi-amping.
