PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

FOR RTi SERIES FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKERS
To get the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers so that an equilateral
triangle is created between the speakers and your favorite listening position [figure 1]. Your RTi
Series Loudspeakers are magnetically shielded for safe placement near your TV or video monitor.
If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the speakers away from the TV
and call Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (US and Canada) or polkcs@polkaudio.com.
If your room arrangement forces you to place the speakers farther apart than the distance from
which you are listening, angle the speakers toward the middle in order to support a more solid
center image. Rubber feet and adjustable carpet spikes are included to provide stability on any
type of floor. To install them, lay the speaker carefully on its side and screw in the spikes as far as
they will go into the threaded inserts in the base of the speaker. For wood or tile floors, slip a
rubber foot over each spike. For carpeted floors, use bare spikes [figure 2]. You will achieve
optimum performance when the speaker is level and stable in all directions.

Use patas de goma sobre las púas para estabilizarlos sobre pisos duros.
Pour plus de stabilité sur tapis, utilisez les picots.
Sur planchers, recouvrez les picots des pieds de caoutchouc.
Die Verwendung von Befestigungsstutzen gewährleistet die Stabilität der Lautsprecher
bei Platzierung auf Teppichböden. Auf hartem Untergrund sollten die Stutzen mit
Gummifüßen überzogen werden.
