Introduction

Congratulations.on.your.

purchase.of.an.RBH.T-30LSE.

loudspeaker!.Your.speaker.is.

the.result.of.many.years.of.

research.and.development.

dedicated.to.producing.high.

quality.products.for.home.audio.

and.audio/video.systems.

This.manual.contains.features,.setup.recommendations.

and.specifications.for.the.RBH.

T-30LSE.high.performance.

loudspeaker...We.recommend.

you.thoroughly.read.through.

the.material.contained.in.this.

manual.before.connecting.your.

loudspeaker..This.will.ensure.

that.you.have.an.understanding.

of.how.to.setup.your.speaker.

for.optimum.performance.

In.2006,.celebrating.thirty.

years.in.business.and.continuing.RBH.Sound’s.tradition.

of.excellence.in.loudspeaker.

craftsmanship,.we.developed.our.

highest.performance.freestanding.tower.speaker,.the.T-30LSE.

The.T-30LSE.is.the.result.

of.combining.the.latest.in.

loudspeaker.technologies.

with.over.three.decades.of.

engineering.expertise..At.the.

forefront.of.the.best-of-thebest.freestanding.loudspeakers,.the.T-30LSE.is.an.audio.

enthusiast’s.dream.come.true.

Higher.resolution.and.

increased.articulation.are.the.

end.result.of.the.T-30LSE’s.

design..The.T-30LSE’s.woofers.

and.tweeters.are.arranged.in.a.

dispersion.averaging.alignment.

which.focuses.the.sound.at.the.

listening.position.for.unbelievable.imaging..Another.benefit.of.

this.alignment.is.reduced.sound.

reflections.from.other.surfaces.in.

the.listening.environment..These.

sonic.attributes.are.not.typically.

found.in.a.speaker.capable.of.

delivering.the.sound.pressure.

levels.the.T-30LSE.can.produce.

Imagine.bass.so.strong,.yet.

so.balanced..Now,.imagine.this.

power.coupled.with.acoustic.

detail.and.resolution.so.pure.

and.so.refined,.you’ll.have.to.

double-check.to.make.sure.

the.performance.isn’t.live.

in.your.listening.room.

The.3-way.T-30LSE.loudspeaker.

provides.pristine.audio.clarity,.producing.extreme.sound.

pressure.levels,.and.is.designed.

for.high-end.listening.rooms.

and.larger.home.theaters..The.

T-30LSE.truly.is.a.work.of.art..

However,.like.a.work.of.art,.this.

speaker.is.limited.to.100.pair,.

each.pair.personally.signed.by.

the.man.who.founded.RBH.Sound.

30.years.ago,.Roger.B..Hassing.

Page.2

Enclosure

Cabinets.are.constructed.of.

¾-inch.medium.density.fiberboard.due.to.its.inert.properties..The.thickness.of.the.front.

baffles.also.prevents.excess.

acoustic.radiation..Sophisticated.computer.modeling.and.

measurement.techniques.are.

used.extensively.in.the.RBH.

loudspeaker.design.process.

Crossover

Steep.acoustic.slope.crossovers.are.used.to.integrate.

the.drivers..The.use.of.steep.

crossover.slopes.allow.high.

power.handling,.minimize.

driver.interaction.anomalies,.and.

maximize.the.clarity.with.which.

each.driver.is.able.to.produce.its.

respective.frequency.band..Large.

oversized.gold.binding.posts.

ensure.a.good.electrical.contact..

Frequency.response.graph.of.the.T-30LSE

Drive Units

The.T-30LSE’s.mid-range.and.

bass.drive.units.are.of.the.highest.

quality.and.feature.proprietary.

cutting-edge.aluminum.cone.

technology..The.two.10-inch.longthrow.subwoofers.deliver.plentiful.

amounts.of.low.frequency.information..Mid-bass.through.lower.

treble.frequencies.are.accurately.

reproduced.through.four.6½-inch.

woofers.offering.extended.dynamic.

range.and.lower.distortion..Three.

1-inch.silk-dome.high.performance.tweeters.provide.generous.

crystal.clear.high.frequencies.with.

unbelievable.detail.and.accuracy..

Working.in.harmony.together,.all.

drive.units.are.governed.by.an.

extensive.filter.network.to.convey.

the.sonic.realism.you’d.expect.

from.this.reference-grade.speaker..

Page.4

Speaker Positioning

In.order.to.extract.the.best.

possible.sound.from.you.speaker.

system,.it.is.important.to.determine.where.the.speakers.will.

sound.the.best.in.your.listening.

room..Room.reflections.from.

the.floor,.ceiling.and.side.walls.

influence.the.balance,.imaging.

and.overall.sonic.quality.at.the.

listening.position..Experiment.

with.the.speaker.placement.to.

determine.which.location.offer.

the.best.overall.sound..It.is.

important.that.the.T-30LSEs.are.

positioned.so.the.tweeters.face.

toward.the.center.of.the.listening.position..If.the.tweeters.are.

not.placed.properly,.there.will.

be.a.great.reduction.in.imaging,.

sound.staging.and.overall.performance.of.the.speaker.system.

Page.5

Attaching Speaker Cables

When.using.a.banana.jack.to.attach.

speaker.cables.to.the.binding.post.

terminals,.insert.the.speaker.cables.

into.the.banana.jack..Next.insert.the.

banana.jack.into.the.hole.provided.in.

the.top.of.the.terminal..Repeat.for.the.

other.speaker.cable(s).as.necessary.

If.not.using.a.banana.jack,.simply.

loosen.the.binding.nut.to.allow.the.

hole.in.the.side.of.the.terminal.to.

become.exposed..Strip.¼-inch.of.

the.insulation.from.the.end.of.the.

speaker.cable.and.insert.the.exposed.

wire.end.into.the.now.exposed.hole.

in.the.side.of.the.terminal..Tighten.

the.binding.nut.by.turning.the.nut.

clockwise.until.the.speaker.cable.

is.secured..Repeat.for.the.other.

speaker.cable(s).as.necessary.

Setup Suggestions

As.a.general.guide,.use.the.room.

layout.diagram.shown.below.and.follow.

the.descriptions.when.setting.up.a.home.

theater.system..Some.speakers.shown.

in.the.room.layout.diagram.may.not.be.

applicable.to.your.individual.system.

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.give.a.

more.spacious.and.realistic.sound.stage..

Center Channel Speaker

The.Center.Channel.Speaker.should.

be.placed.between.both.left.and.right.

main.speakers..Often.this.positioning.

dictates.placing.the.speaker.either.directly.

above.or.below.a.television.monitor.

NOTE:. There. are. several. different. surround. formats. available.. Dolby. Pro-Logic,. Pro-Logic. II,. Dolby. Digital. and. DTS.

generally.have.a.5.speaker.plus.subwoofer.requirement..Dolby.Digital.EX.and.DTS.ES.add.a.center.rear.speaker..Dolby.

TrueHD.and.DTS.Master.Audio.available.only.on.Blu-ray.disc,.generally.have.a.7.1.requirement..Please.consult.your.audio/ video.professional.to.determine.which.system.is.best.for.you.and.how.many.speakers.you.will.require.

Setup Suggestions

(continued)

Rear Surround Speakers

The.Surround.Speakers.may.

be.placed.either.above,.behind.

or.to.the.sides.of.the.listening.

position..The.listening.position.

should.be.centered.between.

the.surround.speakers..For.best.

performance,.you.may.want.to.

experiment.with.angling.the.surround.speakers.either.towards.or.

away.from.the.listening.position.

Subwoofer

Placement.of.the.subwoofer.

will.largely.determine.quality,.

quantity,.and.extension.of.the.

bass.frequencies.within.your.

listening.room..Bass.frequencies.are.reinforced.by.close.

room.boundaries..Placing.the.

subwoofer.in.a.corner.will.make.

the.subwoofer.sound.louder.and.

boost.the.very.lowest.frequencies..Placing.the.subwoofer.

away.from.walls.will.provide.

the.least.reinforcement,.making.

the.bass.sound.subjectively.

thinner.than.if.the.woofer.were.

close.to.a.wall..Good.results.can.

usually.be.obtained.by.placing.

a.subwoofer.along.a.wall.1-3.

feet.from.a.corner..Experiment.

with.subwoofer.placement.and.

the.amplifier.controls.to.achieve.

the.proper.bass.balance..

Break-in Period

Speakers.are.mechanical.as.

well.as.electrical.devices..Much.

in.the.same.way.automobile.

engines.need.break-in.mileage.before.performing.their.

best,.audio.speakers.need.to.

be.broken.in.before.their.true.

sonic.qualities.become.apparent..This.is.especially.true.of.

higher.quality.speakers,.such.

as.those.you.have.purchased..

Plan.on.giving.your.speakers.several.hours.of.playing.

time.to.adequately.break-in..

As.the.speaker.breaks.in,.the.

driver.suspension.will.loosen.up.

resulting.in.an.increase.in.low.

frequency.response,.improved.

definition,.clarity.and.detail..

Page.8

Care and Cleaning

To.keep.up.the.appearance.

and.speaker.maintenance.of.

your.speaker,.lets.start.with.the.

cabinet..Whether.your.cabinet.

boasts.a.real.wood.veneer,.or.

a.shiny.black.laminate.finish.

it’s.still.going.to.get.dusty..

You.will.definitely.want.to.keep.

typical.furniture.polishes.or.

sprays.away.from.your.speaker.

cabinet..Simply.cleaning.the.

cabinet.with.a.soft.cloth,.

perhaps.lightly.dampened.by.

water.should.easily.remove.any.

dust..Wiping.dust.away.from.

the.grille,.toward.the.back.of.

the.speaker.is.recommended..

Grilles.attract.dust,.and.if.

you.bump.your.dusting.cloth.

against.the.edge.of.grile,.

you’re.likely.to.see.a.dusty.

residue.appear.on.the.grille..

Grilles.can.get.pretty.dusty,.

part.of.their.job.is.to.protect.

your.speaker’s.drivers,.and.if.

they’re.not.capturing.and.holding.dust,.they’re.not.doing.their.

job..To.clean.the.grille,.carefully.

vacuum.to.remove.the.dust..

Avoid.touching.your.drivers.as.

much.as.possible.but.dust.can.

certainly.build.up.on.drivers.too..

If.your.drivers.have.become.seriously.dusty,.try.using.a.clean.dry.

soft.bristle.paintbrush.to.remove.

the.dust.by.lightly.brushing.off.

the.dust,.or.use.a.can.of.compressed.air.to.blow.the.dust.off.
