- Page 2 Depending on when you purchased your RS1000’s, your amplifier may not look exactly like the one shown here. The amps are essentially the same but early versions have the high level and low level input and output positions reversed.
- Page 3 RS1000 amplifier. Place the spade end onto the binding post and tighten down. If your speaker cable is terminated with spades as well, it is OK to ‘piggyback’...
- Page 4 AV123). This will allow you to split the pre-out signal end into the left or right high level input on the RS1000 across two cables. Run one cable to your amplifier as amplifier.
- Page 5 This setting indicates the least amount how to do this), the RS1000 should be calibrated of bass wave cancellation, and should be held constant to 75dB (or 85dB if your receiver/processor uses until the subwoofer or other speakers in your room are that standard).

Illustration #7 - Same as Illustration #6 but with two R-DES units. Illustration #8 - Multichannel with sub(s) setup. Utilizes the Outlaw...
- Page 7 ‘PMA’. This refers to ‘Progressive Matrix Array’. This is the type of crossover used in the RS1000 loudspeaker. If you are asked to connect your speaker cable to the PMA, this simply means connect to the binding posts on the back of the speaker (above the amplifier). If you are asked to turn on your PMA’s amplifier, this means turn on your main amplifier or receiver used to power your RS1000’s.
- Page 8 ILLUSTRATION #2 In this connection scheme, we have a stereo setup, with a subwoofer, being fed signal by a preamp/processor whereby the RS-1Ks woofers and the subwoofer are controlled by a single R-DES. Set the FL/FR speakers to 'SMALL' (the size settings of the other speakers is moot, as this is a stereo system configuration).
- Page 9 ILLUSTRATION #3 This connection scheme utilizes an outboard, stereo 2-way crossover to filter the high frequencies away from the RS1K's built-in plate amplifier/woofer and to filter the low frequencies away from the RS-1K's PMA, at a user-defined crossover point. This is the setup construction: Player: All speakers 'LARGE', SW='YES' Preamp: FL/FR 'LARGE', SL/SR/CC 'SMALL' What will happen:...
- Page 10 ILLUSTRATION #4 This is also a connection scheme that utilizes an outboard stereo, 2-way crossover. The difference in this scheme is that you are using 'Y' jacks at the FL and FR preamp outputs to send a signal from each channel to both the outboard crossover and R-DES.
- Page 11 ILLUSTRATION #5 In this connection scheme, we are exactly duplicating the scheme that utilizes an outboard stereo, 2-way crossover described in Illustration #4. The only difference is that we are using in-line analog high pass filters to send only the signal content which is above the frequency of the analog filters (called F-Mod, a specific brand of in-line analog filters, in the diagram).
- Page 12 ILLUSTRATION #6 This is the primary recommended connection scheme when using model RS1000 loudspeakers and 1 or multiple sub- woofers and R-DES, whereby all of the system's low frequencies will be under the user's control.

- Page 14 ILLUSTRATION #7 This is the same scheme as Illustration #6 above, except there are 2 R-DES units controlling all of the low frequencies in a multi channel system. You should exactly follow the instructions in Illustration #6 for calibration and phase tweaking. The option here is that you will have the opportunity and challenge of using 2 curves in the same system.
- Page 15 ILLUSTRATION #8 This scheme is for all of you multi channel lovers who prefer analog connections from the player vs digital for all multi channel 5.1 formats. This scheme utilizes the Outlaw Audio ICBM Analog Bass Manager with Onix Rocket RS-1000 up front and dual Rocket UFW-12 subwoofers which affords the luxury of 2 included R-DES units, certainly one of the most versatile multi channel audio systems ever devised.
