This connection scheme utilizes an outboard, stereo 2-way crossover to filter the
high frequencies away from the RS1K's built-in plate amplifier/woofer and to filter
the low frequencies away from the RS-1K's PMA, at a user-defined crossover point.
This is the setup construction:
Player: All speakers 'LARGE', SW='YES'
Preamp: FL/FR 'LARGE', SL/SR/CC 'SMALL'
What will happen:
The low frequencies that are redirected from the SL/SR/CC (because they are set
to 'SMALL') will be sent to the subwoofer.
The full range FL/FR signals will be sent to the outboard crossover where you will
choose the crossover point that you prefer, sending the frequencies above the
selected crossover point to the RS-1K's PMA (HP OUTS) and sending the
frequencies below the selected crossover point to the RS-1K's plate amplifier/
woofer (LP OUTS).
The subwoofer, or subwoofers (dual subs can be connected by inserting a 'Y' jack
as shown in the diagram) will receive the LFE signal, if any, along with the
redirected bass from the satellites that are set to 'SMALL'.

NOTE: You will now have 2 R-DES equalizers to coordinate, so you might want to
name each curve you create with a tag of SW and RS-1K respectively, to avoid
confusion down the road. You should also devise a curve with the idea of creating
a complimentary curve in the 2nd R-DES and name the 2 curves the same, with the
only difference being the tag. This is only a suggestion to help avoid dialing up 2
different EQ curves that may work against each other when utilizing 2 R-DES units
in the same system.
