Connections
Please make sure that your amplifier/receiver is switched off
before connecting your speakers.
For how to connect the speak-
ers to the amplifier/receiver, please refer to the equipment‘s user
manual.
Terminal
You will find the terminal for the speaker cable on the rear of the
speaker (when used in reflective mode). The terminal has two bind-
ing posts, one with a red marking for plus and one with a black
marking for minus. Always make sure that plus on the loudspeaker
is connected to plus on the amplifier and minus on the loudspeaker
to minus on the amplifier. Reversing polarity will not harm your equip-
ment in any way, but the sound will be diffuse and bass-response
and imaging will be very poor. Most loudspeaker cables are marked
to make it easy to discern between plus and minus.
If you want to connect the speaker cable directly without any con-
nectors, remove 8 – 15mm of insulation from the end of the cable
and twist it so that no individual copper-strands stick out (caution:
danger of short-circuit). Loosen the binding post and insert the cable
from below. Tighten the binding post firmly!
Speaker Cables
Thin speaker cables are not a good way to transport the electrical
signal between amplifier and speaker.
As such, the supplied speaker cables are to be considered an interim
solution, in case you didn’t order speaker cables with your speakers
and do not have quality cables available.
For the RS-54, we recommend using our
nuCable LS 2,5 Studioline
2 x 2,5 mm
2
speaker cable for cable lenghts under 10 m. For longer
cable runs, we recommend the 2 x 4 mm2
nuCable LS 4 Studioline

Mode Switch
Between the binding posts, you will find a two-position switch. With
this switch, you optimize the sound of the speaker to either the
direct-radiating compact speaker- or the Dolby Atmos Enabled up-
firing role.
With the switch In the
Direkt (direct)
position, the RS-54 is a
normal, direct-radiating compact 2-way loudspeaker. Use this
setting if you want to use the RS-54 as your main- or surround-
loudspeakers. (more on page 4 and 5)
Setting the switch to
Reflektierend (reflecting)
is recommended
when using the speaker as a ceiling-reflecting speaker for immersi-
ve audio formats. This setting changes the frequency response and
dispersion characteristics of the speaker to fulfill all Dolby Labo-
ratories requirements for Dolby Atmos enabled up-firing speakers
with Dolby Speaker Technology. The RS-54 is fully tested and cer-
tified by Dolby Laboratories
