System Setup (after all connections have been made as
shown and 2 R-DES units have been successfully installed
on your computer): Player: All speakers set to 'LARGE',
SW to 'YES'. ICBM: Choose your crossover for all 5 satel-
lites, which include the RS-1K's PMA’s. All connections
made as shown in the diagram and Both R-DES units
successfully installed on your computer.
What will happen:
1. The player will send only the .1 channel to your sub-
woofer(s) through the R-DES unit that is supplied with
your UFW-12. The level isn't controlled by your preamp's
master volume so it must be adjusted in the player's
calibration menu with the UFW-12's gain control at
around 1 O'clock.
2. The ICBM will redirect all the satellite's low frequen-
cies, below the selected crossover point(s) to the RS-1K's
woofers, through the 2nd R-DES unit.
3. The ICBM will filter the low frequencies away from
the RS-1K's PMAs per the selected crossover point. You
also have the option to use only 1 R-DES unit by connect-
ing the player's SW output through the preamp and
ICBM, in which case you would use 1 or 2 'Y' jacks out of
the 1 R-DES unit's outputs, running 2 cables to the RS-
1K's and 1 or 2 cables to the subwoofer or subwoofers,
whichever the case may be. This will send an identical,
summed redirected bass and LFE signal to both the RS-
1K's woofers and your subwoofer(s). If you are using 2
R-DES units, please refer to the NOTE in the Setup For
Illustration #3 for suggestions on how to avoid running 2
conflicting curves at once, and adjust the levels and
relative phase of the RS-1K's woofers and the
subwoofer(s) as instructed in steps 1-13 of the Setup For
Illustration #6.
Proper Care and Feeding
Your Rocket RS1000 does not need much exterior main-
tenance other than an occasional dusting. Please use
care with the gloss black finish or real wood veneer and
treat it as you would a car or piano finish. The gloss
black can be waxed with automotive carnauba wax if
desired. For general dust removal, we recommend the
3M Yellow Detail Cloth (part # 39016) or Meguiar’s Ulti-
mate Wipe Detailing Cloth (part# 29910) as it will not
scratch the black surface or real wood veneer. Addi-
tionally, the durable matte finish on the wood veneer
requires only some dusting, or can be wiped off with a
water dampened soft cloth if needed.
Above all, listen and enjoy!
