SIMPLY COMPLETE HOME THEATER:

THE RM DIGITAL SOLUTION

Even if you don’t have the room for full-size home theater speakers, you still deserve great sound. This is the theory behind the development of “subwoofer/satellite” systems, whose coffee- cup-sized satellites can be placed conveniently and invisibly almost anywhere. These systems produce remarkable sound for their size, but even the best “sub/sat” systems have never quite equaled the performance of full-size speakers.

Knowing this, we set out to develop the ultimate “sub/sat” system. One with the convenience of a “sub/sat” system, and the

PERFORMANCE performance you expect from Polk Audio.

CUltimately, we found that the only way to achieve our ONVENIENCE goal was to design not only the speaker system but the

SIMPLICITY preamp, surround processor, and amplifiers as well. By optimizing the speakers and electronics for each

other we achieved a much higher level of performance than any previous sub/sat system!

When we were finished, we found we had created something entirely new: a no-compromise sub/sat surround system with all of the electronics for a high-performance Dolby Digital home theatre—integrated into a single, complete system.

We call it the RM Digital Solution: “An Intelligent A/V Pre-amp Processor and High Performance Loudspeaker System.” With the RMDS-1, you have everything you need—except sources.

There’s no need to choose a receiver or separate surround processor or multi-channel power amplifier. With the RMDS-1 you already have them. They’re built-in.And, most importantly, you know that they were designed specifically for each other to deliver no-compromise performance.

You don’t need an advanced degree in digital electronics to get the most out of this system. We’ve done the work for you. The RMDS-1 is a complete system. Everything is pre-optimized to achieve

the best possible performance. No complicated setup procedures are required. Simply plug everything in, and enjoy!
