HOOK-UP OPTIONS
The versatile RM7500 loudspeaker system
gives you many hook-up options. Each option
has advantages and potential downsides.
The option that is best for you depends on
your electronics and your personal taste.
The hook-up option you choose may have
a subtle effect on the overall sound of your
system. You may want to experiment with
options to see what works best for you.
Remember, there is no “one best method,”
although we do recommend options
1
(easiest) and
4a
or
4b
(best sounding).
