  • Page 5: Introduction

    Your New Speedwoofer 10S MKII The original RSL Speedwoofer 10S was introduced in 2016. Since that time, it has racked up numerous awards, including several product of the year titles. It set a standard for what’s possible from a compact, affordable 10 inch subwoofer. Its patented Compression Guide tuning allowed it to outperform sealed subwoofer designs when it came to accuracy and it also matched the bass impact usually associated with larger 12 inch ported subwoofers.

    More Than You Probably Want to Know About Room Acoustics The acoustical characteristics of your listening room has a major effect on sound quality. This is so important, it bears repeating (so feel free to re-read the first sentence). If your room has good acoustical qualities, even mediocre speakers can sound pretty good.

  • Page 9: Multiple Subwoofers

    Multiple Subwoofers The majority of our customers are quite happy with the performance of a single Speedwoofer. However, many audio experts recommend dual subwoofers. They feel that with two or more subs it’s much easier to get consistent bass distribution by placing the two subs in different positions.

  • Page 12: Connecting Your Subwoofer Wirelessly

    The RSL AT4 Wireless Audio Transmitter has a range up to 50 ft. The first time you setup the AT4 for wireless use, you will need to pair it with the Speedwoofer. You should only need to do this once.
