Spiked Foot Fixing For Wooden/Hard Floors
(Silver
RS5, RS6 & RS8 only)
For use on solid floors or where spikes are
inappropriate, it is possible to use the foot
without the spike insert. To use the foot in
this manner carefully grip the knurled
portion of the spike and rotate anti
clockwise to unscrew the spike fully.
You may find it easier to first remove the
polymer pad so as to gain more purchase
on the spike.
The pad should be replaced before carrying
out the levelling operation previously
described.
Connecting Your Silver RS Loudspeakers
You will notice that when you unpack your loudspeakers, there are plastic
terminal caps in the terminals where the speaker cable connectors should go.
These can be simply removed by placing a thin, flat object underneath them and
carefully levering them free.
All of the Silver RS Series loudspeakers (except the RS FX, see page 9) can be
either single or bi-wired/bi-amp. Monitor Audio always recommends bi-wiring
your loudspeakers for improved sound quality. You will also need to run your
speakers in for approximately 60 hours before they perform at their optimum
capability.
If you are going to be connecting your speakers in a bi-wire, or bi amp format,
please remove the terminal links. Do this by unscrewing the red and black
terminals slightly and removing the link. Connect the speaker as in the
illustrations on page 14.
You can also bi-amp your loudspeakers. This is carried out in the same way as
bi-wiring except instead of using one amplifier to power all of the drive
units/tweeter in the speaker; you are using one amplifier to drive the treble
(tweeter) and the other amplifier to drive the mid/bass sections. If you are
intending to do this, please consult your local hi-fi dealer for their
recommendations for amplifier rating.
We recommend the use of our Pureflow
®
loudspeaker cable to get the best from
your speakers. Further information can be found at www.monitoraudio.co.uk
