HS-615 HANGING SPEAKER

O w n e r s M a n u a l

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of an RBH Sound residential/commercial 70 Volt

compatible hanging speaker! 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, installation procedures and speciﬁcations for

the HS-615 residential/commercial 70 Volt compatible hanging speaker. It is

recommended you thoroughly read through the material contained in this manual

before connecting your speaker. This will ensure that you have an understanding

of how to install the speaker for optimum performance.

Break-in Period

Allow 10-15 hours of listening time to adequately break-in the speaker. As the

speaker breaks-in, the driver suspension will loosen. The result of break-in will be

an increase in low frequency response, improved deﬁnition, and increased clarity

and detail.

Care and Cleaning

To maintain speaker appearance, clean with a damp soft cloth.

Features

The RBH Sound HS-615 hanging speaker incorporates a poly-resin enclosure to

reinforce bass frequencies allowing a more controlled bass response, and utilizes

an acoustic suspension design while offering operation in either 8 Ohm or 70

Volt modes.

A powerful magnet gives the bass/midrange driver high power handing capability.

This ensures accurate dynamic reproduction. The tweeter features liquid cooling to

also allow greater power handling.

Steep acoustic slope crossovers are used to integrate drivers. The use of steep

crossover slopes allows high power handling, minimizes driver interaction

anomalies, and maximizes the clarity with which each driver is able to produce its

respective frequency band. Sophisticated computer modeling techniques are used

extensively in the RBH speaker design process.

A switch connected to the swivel tweeter allows the sound of your speaker

to be customized for each environment. This switch is located next to the

woofer on the front bafﬂe of the speaker and has three positions: +3dB, 0,

and -3dB (see illustration on page 3). The +3 position increases output, and,

Features (continued)

the -3 position decreases the output of the tweeter relative to the woofer. The

0 position is the factory setting and generally provides the most natural response

from the speaker.

The use of a 70 Volt transformer allows several HS-615 speakers to be used together

by running a speaker wire from one speaker to the next in a parallel connection

when using a 70 Volt ampliﬁer (as shown in the wiring diagram below).

WARNING: Refer to the wiring diagrams and voltage selector sections to

properly install a 70 Volt system.

Wiring Diagrams

CAUTION: If your ampliﬁer isn’t capable of handling the impedance of all

connected speakers, this may result in overloading the ampliﬁer and may cause

possible damage to the ampliﬁer. Check your ampliﬁer’s documentation for

proper impedance levels.

Parallel Connection

A parallel connection exists when speakers are connected directly to an ampliﬁer

(as shown in the illustration below). Each speaker’s positive terminal is directly

connected to the ampliﬁer’s positive terminal, and each negative terminal is

directly connected to the ampliﬁer’s negative terminal. This type of connection

should be made when using a 70 Volt ampliﬁer.

In this example, each speaker is set to

70 Volt operation and is being powered

by a 70 Volt ampliﬁer. If the speakers

were set to 8 Ohm operation, the total

impedance (using Ohm’s Law) equals

(8 x 8) ÷ (8 + 8) or 4 Ohms, which

may be too low for some ampliﬁers.

Make sure to properly select 70 Volt

or 8 Ohm operation before connecting

the speakers to the ampliﬁer.

Wiring Diagrams (continued)

Series Connection

A series connection exists when two or more speakers are connected together by

one wire. Typically, the negative connection of one speaker is connected to the

positive connection of the next speaker as shown in the illustration below. This

type of connection is reserved for certain 8 Ohm systems ONLY, and NOT FOR 70

VOLT OPERATION. Series connections should only be done with identical speakers

to avoid inconsistencies in sound quality.

Voltage Selector

As previously mentioned, the HS-615 can be used in a 70

Volt system or in an 8 Ohm system. The voltage

selector switch allows you to properly set the

speaker to 8 Ohm or 70 Volt operation.

The wattage selector switch allows

the choice of 2, 4, 8 or 16 watt taps

for 70 Volt operation. For 70 Volt

operation, be sure to correctly

set the wattage selector

switch so that the number

of speakers multiplied by

the wattage setting does

not exceed the power

output of the ampliﬁer.

In this example, each speaker has a impedance of 8 Ohms. In a series connection as

shown here, the total impedance equals 8+8 or 16 Ohms. The total impedance of a

series connection is the sum of each speaker’s impedance.
