Introduction In many owner’s manuals, the first section usually tries to make you feel good about buying the product. However, in our case, we’d rather let the performance of our speakers do the talking.
Operation Start the musical source and turn its volume up to approximately 60%, if possible. Press the round power button on the speaker base and observe that the green LED is lit. This indicates that the speakers are operating. Adjust the speaker volume to the desired listening level using the Up/Down controls on the satellite speaker base. Check that sound is heard from all Speakers.
Connection Diagram Specifications Dimensions: Each satellite including stand: W: 3 ¾”, D: 5 ¼”, H: 6 ¼” Removing satellites from stands reduces height to 4 ¾”. Subwoofer: W: 7 ¼”, D: 10 ½”, H: 11 3/8” Add 1 ½” depth for the plugs at the back. Cable lengths are 78-80” Weight (not incl. Box) 16 ½ pounds. Note: What follows are true hi-fi power ratings. Others, who may be unethical, might rate the system at a ridiculous 600 watts.
Company Information Who is RSL Speaker Systems and Rogersound Labs? RSL Speaker Systems started in 1970. Back then we all had long hair. Now, we’ll settle for any hair! Over the years we have produced many models of speakers that have been used in homes, recording studios, and radio stations. We also operated retail stores under the name of Rogeround Labs, where we emphasized knowledgeable salespeople, no pressure selling and great deals.
General Placement and Room Acoustics Placement of speaker is very important. The RSL Digital Fidelity One is a 3piece system with a separate subwoofer (containing the amplifiers) and two small “satellite” speakers. In most audio systems, there is a left and right speaker only. Each of these speakers is supposed to reproduce the entire audio range from the bass to the treble. Yet, the best position for a speaker to reproduce bass is very different from the best position for the middle and treble notes.
There are several advantages to using the RSL Digital Fidelity One in this manner. First, proper placement becomes easier. The angle between you and the left and right speakers is usually close to optimum (somewhere between 60 and 90 degrees). Due to the superior imaging qualities of the RSL Digital Fidelity One, the satellite speakers can be placed a bit further apart without the apparent “hole” in middle that most speakers leave.
The RSL Digital Fidelity One speaker system as the heart of an audio system The RSL Digital Fidelity One speaker system can be used with audio components to form a great audio system. People who are into high quality audio systems will often place the satellites of a 3-piece system on tall speaker stands as show in the above illustration. This is the ultimate way to enjoy your RSL Digital Fidelity One speakers. When the speakers are further away, the sonic image will tend to be larger and more lifelike.
is close to, the greater the bass. Placing the subwoofer on the floor will add to the bass. Placing it both on the floor and against a wall will add even more bass. Placing it in a corner where it is on the floor and near 2 walls gives yet even more bass. The subwoofer doesn’t have to be between the satellites. Place it anywhere you’d like. Bass is essentially non-directional and difficult to tell where it originates from.
Summing Up (The end of these boring instructions is near!) As previously mentioned the RSL Digital Fidelity One speaker system is designed not just for your computer, but other components as well. These include personal CD players, MP3 players, Minidisc players, FM Radios, cassette players, and TV sets. For example, a portable stereo radio’s headphone jack can feed the RSL Digital Fidelity One speaker system . The result is great sounding FM stereo.
