User manual POLK AUDIO RM6005

[. . . ] (Speaker stands appropriate for the RM6005 satellites are available at your Polk Audio dealer or in the Polk Webstore at www. ) SURROUND SPEAKERS (Figures 3a, 3b) The best placement for surround channel speakers is on the side walls, facing each other, a foot or two behind your listening position. If this placement is not possible, the speakers may be placed on a rear wall. [. . . ] Repeat this step with the other connectors. Powered subwoofers have a built-in, adjustable low pass filter to separate the low frequency signals (the bass) from the full range signal. the dedicated "subwoofer output" jacks (sometimes labeled "LFE" or "Low Frequency Effects") on most receivers also contain a fixed low pass filter. If you connect the subwoofer to the receiver's LFE Out jack, the two filters will interact, reducing the fidelity of your system. Follow the hook up and receiver set-up/bass management instructions below and all of the bass will go to the subwoofer, you will not lose any bass, and you will get the highest possible performance from your system. For more detailed subwoofer placement and set-up advice go to http://www. RECOMMENDED HOOK-UP METHOD (FIGURES 7, 8) ° ° ° ° ° Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver or amplifier to the speaker level inputs of the powered subwoofer with speaker wire. Then, connect the left and right front satellite speakers with speaker wire from the speaker level outputs from the powered subwoofer. If it is more convenient, parallel wire the subwoofer and front satellites from your receiver (Figure 8). Connect the Center Channel Speaker directly to the center channel output from your receiver. R E C E I V E R S E T- U P / B A S S M A N A G E M E N T All surround receivers allow you to "customize" their performance depending on the size of your speakers. Refer to the owner's manual of your receiver or surround processor to learn how this is done. To get the best performance from the RM6005 with a powered subwooer, use the following settings with the above hook-up method: ° ° ° ° Front speakers--set to "large" Center speaker--set to "normal" or "small" Surround speakers--set to "small" Subwoofer--set to "OFF" or "none. But really truly, this is the correct setting for the recommended hook-up method. By setting the front left and right speakers to "Large" and routing them through the subwoofer as instructed above, you deliver a full range signal to your subwoofer's low pass filter. The low pass filter takes the low frequencies and passes the rest on to the front speakers, for better sub/sat blending.
