CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This is the section where speaker manufacturers attempt to persuade you to take
care of your speakers. We don’t think we need to do that, because we’re certain
you’ll become very attached to them and want the best for them. Caring for your RSL
Speakers and Speedwoofer is relatively easy. They do not require much on your
part. We have listed the most important dos and don’ts below.
1. Clean your speakers using a soft, moist cloth, preferably microfiber or some-
thing lint-free. Do not put speakers in the washing machine or dish washer.
Scratches can sometimes be buffed out using a mild car polish.
2. Be very gentle when cleaning the front of your speakers, especially the woof-
ers and tweeters. Try not to exert any pressure on them.
3. Liquid and speakers don’t mix. Be careful with liquids or beverages near your
speakers. We do not recommend placing any flowers or plants that require wa-
tering on top of the speakers.
4. Please keep your speakers away from direct sunlight and heat sources to pro-
tect their finish.
5. If you operate the speakers with the grilles off, please make sure that the
woofers and tweeters do not come in contact with anything as they can be dam-
aged.
6. RSL speakers are not designed for use in applications such as sound rein-
forcement, public address, or musical instruments (these are not covered under
the warranty). So the next time you hire a DJ for your party, make sure our
speakers will not be used (don’t worry, our feelings won’t be hurt).
7. Over time, wires connected to speakers and other components can loosen. If
a wire loosens and touches the wire of opposite polarity, your system will short
and your audio components could be damaged. Periodically check to make sure
all connections are sufficiently tight.
8. Just about every owner’s manual tells you to save your boxes. We know it’s a
hassle, but the boxes can come in handy if you move or your speakers need
service.
9. Do not expose your speakers to extremely hot or cold temperatures. We know
it can be difficult to part from your RSL speakers when its vacation time, but
please refrain from subjecting them to beach activities, water sports, treacherous
hikes, skiing (especially with moguls), or arctic cruises etc…
10. Your RSL Speedwoofer
