RBH Sound AC Series Installation And Instruction Manual

RBH
INWALL SPEAKER INSTALLATION AND INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Congratulations on your purchase of an RBH loudspeaker system! Your speakers are the result of many years
of research and development dedicated to producing high quality products for home audio and audio/video
systems. This manual is designed to give you, the installer or owner, basic information as to the speakers
installation and operation.

EATURES
All RBH inwalls* feature polyswitch protection circuitry that is designed to protect the tweeter from being
overdriven. This circuit will automatically reset itself once the volume is turned down or the problem causing
the circuit to activate is removed. Also featured are directional swivel tweeters* used to direct the sound to
the main listening position.
Steep acoustic slope crossovers are used to integrate drivers. The use of steep crossover slopes allows high
power handling, minimizes driver interaction anomalies, and maximizes the clarity with which each driver is
able to produce its respective frequency band.
Most models have a tweeter position switch to allow a desired increase or decrease in treble re-
sponse. When the switch is set to the + position, an increase of 3dB will result from the tweeter.
When the switch is set to the - position, a decrease of 3dB will result from the tweeter.

NSTALLATION
RBH inwall speakers have been designed to make installation as easy as possible. Upon opening the speaker
boxes you will notice that the retrofit nylon mounting bracket is attached to the speaker. As shown in the
diagram below, installing RBH inwall speakers is easy and quick.
If using an RBH New Construction Bracket (NCB) for the size of speaker being installed, cutting the drywall
should not be necessary. To install, slide the top of the black pinch ring into the opening so that the speaker
bezel is on the outside of the drywall and the nylon retrofit bracket is on the inside. Slide the bottom of the
speaker into the drywall the same way, then tighten the screws. This will cause the nylon bracket to "pinch"
the New Construction Bracket (NCB) and drywall and will hold the speaker solidly in place. If using a drill/
driver, set the clutch to a low setting to prevent overtightening and possible damage to the frame. If using
hand tools, tighten just until firm.
When not using a New Construction Bracket (NCB), a cutout template is supplied with the speaker for your
convenience in cutting the drywall. After the hole in the drywall is made, install the speaker using the same
method described above. RBH inwall speakers can be installed into either the wall or the ceiling.

AINTING
RBH inwall speakers and grilles can be painted any color to match any decor. A plastic paint
shield is supplied and placed inside the grille to protect the speaker from becoming damaged
during painting. This plastic paint shield must be removed before operation of the speaker
begins.
