Under special circumstances you may need to increase the spacing of the speaker from the wall. The RSX
Through Speakers come supplied with an additional "step plate" or "spacer" to do this. This piece spaces
the wall mount unit out from the wall an additional 29mm or 1-1/8" and requires longer mounting screws or
hardware. There are tooled tabs to make sure the spacer and wall mount fit together and stay together if used.
If used, please use extra care in choosing your mounting hardware due to the extra leverage caused by moving
the speaker further out from the wall. Do not use more than the one supplied spacer.
Connecting your RSX Through Mount Speakers to your system:
Always make sure that your amplifier or receiver and any other electronics are OFF before attempting to con-
nect any speakers to your system. The back of each RSX Through Mount© speaker uses "binding posts" to
connect the speakers. In most cases, the wires can be attached by unscrewing the red and black thumb-screws
which expose a hole on the gold colored post. The wire is then carefully inserted into the hole, and the thumb-
screw is tightened back down to secure each wire. Please take care to ensure that the "+" on the amplifier is
connected to the "+" or red on the speaker. Reversing these wires, either at the receiver or amplifier, or at the
speaker itself, will not cause damage but may adversely affect the systems potential performance. The manual
that came with your receiver or amplifier will assist you in this step. If you need help—please consult your
reseller.
Reel Acoustics™ suggests a minimum 16 guage speaker wire for the RSX Through Mount© speakers. Please
note that the smaller the number referring to wire guage, the larger the wire. When selecting speaker wire,
please remember that 12 guage is larger, and 18 guage is smaller than the suggested 16 guage.
When you have completed wiring your system, turn on your receiver or amplifier but keep the volume low.
Most receivers or amplifiers have "on screen" displays to allow you to choose from different settings depend-
ing on how large your speakers are. FOR BEST RESULTS, PLEASE SET the RSX Through Mount© TO
"SMALL" SETTING! Some receivers or amplifiers have adjustable electronic crossovers instead of choosing
large or small speaker sizes. If your equipment has this, please set the crossover at 100 hz or higher.
Most amplifiers or receivers use 80hz, or 120hz as the options. If yours uses these settings, please set yours
to 120hz. Playing the RSX Through Mount© at high volumes, with the settings as "large" or set below 100hz
may cause damage to the speakers. Information below 120hz will be reproduced by your Reel powered
Subwoofer available separately from your reseller.
Once you are confident the speakers are configured correctly. Play your system at a low volume and determine
that all speakers are working. Once you have confirmed this, bring the volume up to a moderate level, and
using the manual for your receiver or amplifier, follow those instructions to take you through the rest of the
complete system setup.
