4. Setup

The Roxel RBS 300 are passive speakers and require an external amplifier to function. Follow these steps for proper setup:

4.1 Placement

Optimal speaker placement is crucial for sound quality.

• Place speakers on a stable, flat surface such as a bookshelf, speaker stand, or desk.
• Ensure there is adequate space around the speakers for proper air circulation.
• For stereo imaging, position the speakers equidistant from your primary listening position, forming an equilateral triangle.
• Avoid placing speakers directly against a wall if possible, as this can overemphasize bass. The front-firing bass ports make them less sensitive to wall proximity compared to rear-ported designs.

4.2 Connecting to an Amplifier

Use high-quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to your amplifier. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).

1. Turn off your amplifier and any connected audio sources.
2. Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on both your amplifier and the Roxel RBS 300 speakers. The speaker terminals are typically color-coded (red for positive, black for negative).
3. Strip approximately 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) of insulation from the ends of your speaker wires.
4. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the amplifier to the positive (+) terminal of the speaker.
5. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the amplifier to the negative (-) terminal of the speaker.
6. Repeat for the second speaker.
7. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent short circuits.

Note: The Roxel RBS 300 speakers have a power handling of 75 Watts RMS per speaker (150W total for the pair) and an impedance of 4-8 ohms. Ensure your amplifier is compatible with these specifications.

5. Operating Instructions

Once connected, operating your Roxel RBS 300 speakers is straightforward.

1. After connecting the speakers to your amplifier, turn on the amplifier.
2. Select your desired audio source on the amplifier.
3. Start playing audio at a low volume.
4. Gradually increase the volume to your preferred listening level.
5. Allow for a "break-in" period: Like all new speakers, the RBS 300 will benefit from a break-in period of several hours of normal use. During this time, the drivers will loosen up, and the sound quality may improve further.

For optimal sound, ensure your audio source provides a clean signal. These speakers are designed to deliver neutral and accurate sound with excellent vocal clarity and extended bass response.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the performance and appearance of your speakers.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the speaker cabinets. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Grilles: The speaker grilles can be removed for cleaning or if you prefer the aesthetic of the exposed drivers. Handle them carefully to avoid damage.
• Environment: Keep speakers away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, and extreme temperature changes.
• Dust: Regularly dust the drivers and cabinet to prevent buildup.
