A Few Words of Introduction
For those of you unfamiliar with RSL Speakers or Rogersound Labs, here’s a little about us. We’ve been build-
ing speakers since 1970. We started out with a single hi-fi store on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, Cali-
fornia. It was the golden age of hi-fi, where you could take risks and try new ideas. Our store was located up
the street from Warner Brothers Records. One day, one of the producers wandered in and we demonstrated
our early models. He immediately bought a pair for his office. Soon, the other producers also put RSL Speak-
ers in their offices. We then decided to add some studio monitor models to our lineup. Within a few years,
RSL Studio Monitors could be found in a large percentage of recording studios, movie studios, and radio sta-
tions throughout Southern California.
Since the beginning, we have always offered our speakers factory-direct to customers so they could get bet-
ter quality without spending more. We have always stressed the fact that a set of speakers is a long-term in-
vestment. They should be designed as such and built to last. This philosophy hasn’t changed, as you’re about
to find out.
About This Owner’s Manual
Over the years, we’ve purchased many products that were well-designed and must have taken a long time to
develop. However, we often found that the included owner’s manuals seemed to be an afterthought, hastily
slapped together.
Although we
did
spend considerable time producing this manual, it still wouldn’t compare to the time we
spent developing the RSL CG5 and CG25 speakers. If you have a question this manual doesn’t address, feel
free to contact us. We’re easy to reach. Unlike many companies, we don’t try to hide our toll-free number
(800) 905-5485. You can also email us at
. We respond to all inquires as soon as possi-
ble.
We hate boring and long-winded owner’s manuals and that fact influenced the way we wrote this manual. As
a result, please don’t feel obligated to read everything and just skip to those parts that may interest you.
