RBH SIGNATURE 641-SE (01) PDF Document

You should allow several hours of listening time to adequately break-in the RBH SIGNATURE 641-SE loudspeaker systems. As the speakers break-in, the driver suspension will loosen. The result of the break-in period will be an increase in low frequency response, improved definition, and increased clarity and detail.

To maintain the appearance of your RBH SIGNATURE 641-SE speakers, it is recommended to wipe them down with a clean, damp, and soft cloth. To clean dust from the grille cloth, use a vacuum with a brush attachment.

Using a Banana Clip:

1. Insert the speaker wire into the banana jack.

2. Ensure the binding post nut is tight, then insert the banana jack into the hole provided in the top of the terminal.

3. Repeat for the other speaker wire(s) as necessary.

Without a Banana Clip (Bare Wire):

1. Loosen the binding nut to expose the hole in the side of the terminal.

2. Strip ¼-inch of insulation from the end of the speaker wire.

3. Insert the exposed wire end into the hole in the side of the terminal.

4. Tighten the binding nut by turning it clockwise until the speaker wire is secure.

5. Repeat for the other speaker wire(s) as necessary.

To obtain the best possible sound from your RBH SIGNATURE 641-SE speakers, follow these placement guidelines:

Front Main Speakers:

As a starting point, place your left and right front speakers at least 15 inches from the wall and 7 feet apart from each other. The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the distance that separates the two main speakers. Angling the speakers inward towards the listening position may provide a more spacious and realistic sound stage.

Stabilizing Feet:

The RBH SIGNATURE 641-SE speakers come with stabilizing feet. To install them:

1. Place each foot so the center hole of the foot is over each pilot hole on the bottom of the cabinet.

2. Use the supplied screws to attach the feet to the bottom of the cabinet.

3. Install either a supplied spike or rubber mount as necessary into the threaded insert on each stabilizing foot.

*Most Signature Series speakers are finished in a black wood grain, while others are only available in the 30 real wood custom veneers and some are available in either option. Refer to the finish listed on each speaker for more details or ask your authorized RBH dealer for more details and wood color options.

If there is no sound from your speakers, check the following:

Probable Cause 1: Speaker wire not connected.

Solution: Make sure the wire is connected at both the speaker and the amplifier, observing proper polarity.

Probable Cause 2: Speaker selector on amplifier is not on.

Solution: Activate the proper selector on the amplifier.

If there is no sound coming from a single speaker, check the following:

Probable Cause 1: Balance control on the receiver or pre-amp is not centered.

Solution: Place the balance control in the center position.

Probable Cause 2: Speaker wire not securely connected.

Solution: Check all connections at the amplifier and the speakers to ensure they are secure.

Probable Cause: The speakers are wired out of phase.

Solution: Check the entire system for proper polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) and make adjustments as necessary. Ensure the speaker wires are connected to the correct terminals on both the speakers and the amplifier.
