The RSL Digital Fidelity One speaker system as the heart of
an audio system
The RSL Digital Fidelity One speaker system can be used with audio compo-
nents to form a great audio system. People who are into high quality audio systems
will often place the satellites of a 3-piece system on tall speaker stands as show in the
above illustration. This is the ultimate way to enjoy your RSL Digital Fidelity One
speakers. When the speakers are further away, the sonic image will tend to be larger
and more lifelike. Also, you will hear better bass response as the greater distance will
allow the longer wavelengths of the lower bass frequencies from the subwoofer more
room to propagate. If possible, place the satellites on tall stands. Optimum height
would place the speakers at about the height of your ears. The stands should also be
away from the wall by at least a foot or two and away from the sides of the room. The
satellites can also be angled inwards in order to point towards the listener. A bit of ex-
perimentation is in order here.
The optimum situation would be where no other object is near or against the
satellites. Any object near the speakers will affect the imaging and response of the
satellites. Of course this is not always possible. Tall speaker stands are widely avail-
able from most audio stores and Radio ShackTM. They sometimes run about $40-$60
per pair.
As indicated above, placement of the subwoofer is quite different than placing
the satellites. The amount and character of the bass can be greatly affected by
placement. The more wall and/or floor surfaces the subwoofer
