Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Monitor Audio Silver RS loudspeakers, which have

been designed and constructed using quality systems and materials to provide

years of enjoyment,reliability and prideof ownership.

Our speakers are hand crafted from top to bottom using traditional

woodworking skills for our sumptuous cabinets, married with the state of the

art technology of our renowneddrive units.

Music is and should be a natural enhancement of life. It stimulates the

imagination, changes your mood, helps you relax, and provides endless hours

of entertainment.

At Monitor Audio we pride ourselves in attempting to make the listening

experience as close as possible to the original ‘music’ production, or as we say

at MonitorAudio our aim is to make the music experience “As closeas itgets”.

Please read through this manual to familiarize yourself with any safety advice

and how best to set up your speakers to achieve the very best listening

experience.

Your Silver RS loudspeakers come complete with grilles (all products), plinths

and spikes (RS5, RS6 and RS8 only). In with the RS LCR, you will find four self

adhesive rubber pads thatcan be placed on the bottom of the cabinet toprotect

it against scratches and also to prevent vibrations moving it. There are also

foam port bungs with each speaker. Suggestions on use can be found below.

The RS FX comes with a wall fixing kit including all of the parts to securethem to

a wall.

TheRS1, RS5 and RSLCR arerear ported cabinet designs. Because of this

design, we recommend that when fixing the loudspeakers toa wall that the port

bungs areused. This may alsoapply whenthey arepositionedvery close to a

rear/sidewall.

The RS6 and RS8 are both designed using two port tubes (per loudspeaker).

One is on the front of the cabinet; the other is on the rear. These ports should

not need to be blocked if you are using your loudspeaker in a room greater than

about 9m2. However, if you cannot implement the ideal speaker positioning,

then experiment using the port bungs. First start by fitting them in the rear

port, then the front, and then both to see which configuration is best suited to

your personal tastes and room constraints.

The portbungs are another way of fine-tuning theloudspeaker to fit in sonically

in your home environment.

WARNING: Care must be taken not to insert the port bungs too far into the port

as this may result in the foam bung being lost inside the cabinet.

Safety Instructions

1. Read Instructions

Please read and follow all of the instructions in this manual before

enjoyingyou loudspeakers.

Any instructions proceeded by this warning triangle MUST be followed.

Failure todo so may cause personal injury or damagethe speakers

2. Water & Moisture

The loudspeakers should not be used near water - for example,

bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, washing machine, in a wet basement

or near a swimming pool. Under no circumstance should plants or fish

bowls beplaced on the products.

3. Heat

The speaker/s should not be placed near any heat source such as

radiators, open fires, stoves, direct sunlight and any other appliance

that produces heat.

These speakers are designed for use within the home environment.

Exposure to extreme temperatures & humidity when placed on patios

oropen conditions could adversely affectthewooden cabinet.

4. Cleaning

Great care and attention has gone into the materials chosen to produce

the Silver RS loudspeakers. It is our intention that they should provide

a lifetime of musical pleasure. A gentle wipe with a dry, clean cloth is

all that is required to remove any dust. Treat them as you would a fine

pieceof furniture because thatis how they have been designed.

Avoid touching the loudspeaker’s drive units whilst cleaning, as any

damage will impair their performance.

5. Re-cycling

When it is time to replace this product please help us protect the

environment by disposing of it in an appropriate and responsible

manner.

Furtherdetails are available from www.monitoraudio.co.uk

6. Natural wood veneers.

Monitor Audiotakes great pride in providinga high quality product.

We use only hand selected natural wood veneers, which are carefully

matched and hand finished to the highest standard possible. The

unique nature of each veneer may result in natural colour variation and

grain from samples you may have seen in photos or at the dealer’s

show room. This is what makes the producta special piece of furniture.

If your speaker is finished in a Cherry veneer please be aware that it

will naturally darken withage more so than other types of wood veneer.

Please retain this manual for futurereference.

Your Silver RS1

Don't be fooled by the size. The most compact loudspeaker of the Silver RS

range delivers a sound that's anything but small, rivalling far more costly

'compact monitors' for bass extension, mid-range resolution and precise

imaging within a stunningly open soundstage. Allied with ‘figure 8’ cross-

bracing to reduce cabinet resonance an excellent standmount loudspeaker has

been created.

Because the RS1 offers great performance from a small speaker, it lends itself

to a wide range of positioning options. The RS1 will perform equally well no

matterhow itis positioned. The RS1 can beplaced on a stand, ora bookshelf.

To remove the grille, carefully prise it away from each cabinet section at a time.

There are two sets of fixing points on this product. One above the drive unit,

the other below it. Refitting is the opposite of removing. Ensure it is correctly

orientated.

For information on wiring and system configurations, please refer to pages 13,

14 and 15.

Your Silver RS6

A svelte 2 ½ way floor-stander, the RS6 builds on the considerable musical

strengths of the RS1 and RS5 by providing greater bass extension and weight.

Rigid construction is again key to achieving the clean, un-boxy sound. The RS6

employs multiple bracing positioned at critical resonancenodes. The two 6 inch

C-CAM®drivers have been designed specifically for the RS6. The lower unit

handles bass only, the other provides punchy upper bass and a clear, natural

mid-band right up to the crossover point with the tweeter at 3KHz. The RS6 has

a reflex port at the rear as well as the front. This is to provide maximum airflow

at low frequencies and reduces air pressure that can lead to bass compression

effects.

To remove the grille, carefully prise it away from the cabinet sections at a time.

There are three sets of fixing points on this product. One above the mid-bass

drive unit, one below it and the third below the bass drive unit. Refitting is the

opposite of removing. Ensure itis correctly orientated.

Your Silver RS8

Silver RS8 is the new 2 ½ way floor-standing flagship model of the range and

builds on the considerable musical strengths of the smaller Silver RS6 by

providing a still wider bandwidth, high power handling, greater efficiency and

moreeffortlessly realised dynamics.

Rigid construction achieves a clean, un-boxy sound. The RS8 employs multiple

bracing positioned at critical resonance nodes. Its slim proportions and

detailing positively contribute to sound quality by reducingdiffraction effects.

The Silver RS8 utilises three 6 inch C-CAM®drivers. The lower two units handle

bass only, the upper unit provides punchy upper bass and a clear, natural mid-

band rightup to thecrossover pointwith the tweeter at3KHz.

To remove the grille, carefully prise it away from the cabinet sections at a time.

There are four sets of fixing points on this product. One above the mid-bass

drive unit, one below it, the third is above the bass drive unit, with the fourth

being below it. Refitting is the opposite of removing. Ensure it is correctly

orientated.

Your Silver RS LCR

The Silver RS LCR is the vital aesthetic and sonic link in any Silver RS home

cinema or multi-channel music system, bringing extra solidity, depth and

realism to the front soundstage, especially with dialogue. It can be used as a

centrespeakeror as a traditional leftorrightspeaker whenplacedupright. Due

to the design of the crossover, if using your RS LCR as a left or right main

speaker, we would recommend orientating itso that the port tube is upper most

on the crossover panel. This ensures that the lower bass unit handles all of the

bass, and the upper bass unit handles the mid-bass. For information on wiring

and system configurations, please refer topages 13, 14 and 15.

Recognising that the centre is often the hardest working speaker in an A/V

system, it needs to handle every kind of situation within a movie soundtrack,

from a big explosion, to a detailed piece of vocals. With this in mind, the new

Silver RS LCR has been designed with two 6inch C-CAM®bass/mid drivers that

hand over to the C-CAM®tweeter at 2.9 KHz.

A special crossover network ensures an excellent vertical and horizontal off axis

frequency response, eliminating the need for a 'hot seat' listening position and

integrating smoothly with the rest of the Silver RS range in a home theatre set-

up.

To remove the grille, carefully prise it away from the cabinet sections at a time.

There are two sets of fixing points on this product. One at each end of the

cabinet. Refitting is the opposite of removing.

Your Silver RS FX

Designed as part of the Silver RS home theatre system, the RS FX surround

speaker combines amazing performance with modern, discreet design that can

be flush mounted on a wall using the enclosed wall brackets. The attractive

curved grille and end caps conceal a rigid angular cabinet construction along

with Monitor Audio’s renowned and highly acclaimedC-CAM®driver technology

and C-CAM®tweeters.

By using low slope linear phase crossover design, Monitor Audio has

engineered the Silver RS FX to have seamless integration and almost perfect

180-degree dispersion characteristics. Whilst thebass driveralways operates in

phase, the tweeter section can be configured to operate as a bi-pole or di-pole,

which means the Silver RS FX, can just as easily be used on sidewalls in a more

advanced 7.1 system.

Please note, if used in a 7.1 channel system, the RS FX’s are left and right

handed. This is indicatedon the terminal panelon the back of the product.

To remove the grille, carefully slide it around the cabinet. Refitting is the

opposite of removal. The grille cannot be removed with the cabinet secured to

thewall.

Connecting your Silver RS FX

The Silver RS FX’s are supplied as right hand or left hand units and both can be

configured to either bi-pole or di-pole. The factory setting is bi-pole as

illustrated in fig. 1 below.

In bi-pole mode, all speaker units (mid/bass unit and tweeters) are in phase.

This feature is for when the RS FX is set up as a rear/surround speaker in a

typical 5.1 channel system. In di-pole mode, one of the HF units (tweeter) is out

of phase with the other tweeter and mid/bass unit. It is best to implement this

configuration when using the RS FX as part of a 7.1 channel system, with the RS

FX’s taking up positions on the sidewalls. Please note that the RS FX’s are left

and right handed. This is not an issue when used in bi-pole mode as a rear

surround speaker. It is essential that they are positioned correctly if used in a

7.1 channel system. Please refer to the positioning section on page 15, or go to

our web site at www.monitoraudio.co.uk. Alternative suggestions may also be

found in your AV amplifier/receiver manual.

Before changing your RS FX’s from bi-pole mode to di-pole mode, please ensure

that the speaker wires are disconnected from your loudspeakers. This helps to

protectyouramplifier.

To change from bi-pole, to di-pole mode, the toggle switch on the crossover

panel needs to be moved from its factory set position (fig. 1) to the di-pole

position (fig. 2).

Please note that it is not possible to connect these speakers

independently by bi-amping.
