Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Monitor Audio Silver RS loudspeakers, which have
been designed and constructed using quality systems and materials to provide
years of enjoyment, reliability and pride of ownership.
Our speakers are hand crafted from top to bottom using traditional
woodworking skills for our sumptuous cabinets, married with the state of the
art technology of our renowned drive units.
Music is and should be a natural enhancement of life. It stimulates the
imagination, changes your mood, helps you relax, and provides endless hours
of entertainment.
At Monitor Audio we pride ourselves in attempting to make the listening
experience as close as possible to the original ‘music’ production, or as we say
at Monitor Audio our aim is to make the music experience “As close as it gets”.
Please read through this manual to familiarize yourself with any safety advice
and how best to set up your speakers to achieve the very best listening
experience.
Your Silver RS loudspeakers come complete with grilles (all products), plinths
and spikes (RS5, RS6 and RS8 only). In with the RS LCR, you will find four self
adhesive rubber pads that can be placed on the bottom of the cabinet to protect
it against scratches and also to prevent vibrations moving it. There are also
foam port bungs with each speaker. Suggestions on use can be found below.
The RS FX comes with a wall fixing kit including all of the parts to secure them to
a wall.
The RS1, RS5 and RS LCR are rear ported cabinet designs. Because of this
design, we recommend that when fixing the loudspeakers to a wall that the port
bungs are used. This may also apply when they are positioned very close to a
rear/side wall.
The RS6 and RS8 are both designed using two port tubes (per loudspeaker).
One is on the front of the cabinet; the other is on the rear. These ports should
not need to be blocked if you are using your loudspeaker in a room greater than
about 9m
2 . However, if you cannot implement the ideal speaker positioning,
then experiment using the port bungs. First start by fitting them in the rear
port, then the front, and then both to see which configuration is best suited to
your personal tastes and room constraints.
The port bungs are another way of fine-tuning the loudspeaker to fit in sonically
in your home environment.
WARNING: Care must be taken not to insert the port bungs too far into the port
as this may result in the foam bung being lost inside the cabinet.
