INSTALLATION— Continued
This method is for those with a stereo receiver or integrated amplifier where
there is no provision to separate the pre-amplifier from the power amplifier sections. In
this case all connections to the RSL Speedwoofer
tm
will be done with speaker wire
only.
1.
Using a quality speaker wire, connect the left (-) speaker output of your ampli-
fier or receiver to the left (-) Hi Level In on your RSL Speedwoofer
tm
. Next, con-
nect the left (+) speaker output from your amplifier or receiver to the left (+) Hi
Level In on your RSL Speedwoofer
tm
2. Repeat step #1 for the right speaker output of your receiver or integrated
amplifier.
3. Using a quality speaker wire, connect the left (-) Hi Level Out of your RSL
Speedwoofer
tm
to the left (-) speaker terminal of your RSL satellite speaker (CG4
or CG24 Monitor) . Next, connect the left (+) Hi Level out of your RSL Speed-
woofer
tm
to the left (+) speaker terminal of your RSL satellite speaker.
4. Repeat step #3 for the right Hi Level Out of the Speedwoofer
tm
and your right
satellite speaker.
In this method the internal hi level filters of the RSL Speedwoofer
tm
offer slightly
less protection for the satellite speakers than the low level filters. However, if you exer-
cise reasonable care and do not use excessive sound volume you should be fine.

We’ve been through a few of these ourselves and you have our sympathy.)
Protecting your Satellite Speakers
As we’ve mentioned above it is essential to make sure that bass frequencies are
properly routed to the subwoofer, not to the satellite speakers. Virtually all A/V receiv-
ers provide for this in their setup menu. Some A/V receivers ask you to select the size
of your satellite speakers and give you a choice of small or large. In the case of RSL
CG4s or RSL CG24 Monitors, you must choose the “small” setting in order to correctly
protect the speakers. Some A/V receivers will have you choose a crossover frequency
as well. The recommended crossover frequency is 90-100 Hz or slightly higher. Do not
choose a frequency below 90 Hz. Also, set the impedance of all speakers to 6-8 ohms
if given the choice. This is correct for your RSL Speakers. The auto setup using a mi-
crophone is useful, however it gets the crossover frequencies wrong and you’ll need to
set them to 90-100 HZ after you run the auto setup.
How Much Volume is Enough?
When matched with the appropriate components, your RSL Speaker Systems
can play at a very loud volume. Your A/V Receiver or amplifier needs to be capable
