SIMPLY COMPLETE HOME THEATER:

THE DIGITAL SOLUTION 2

The original RM Digital Solution-1, with its compact high performance satellite speakers, got as close to “full size” speaker performance as possible in a “mini sub/sat” system. How? By optimizing the speakers with preamp, surround processor and amplifier electronics of our own design. We did this by designing the electronics in tandem with the speakers, making everything work together perfectly. We had created something entirely new: a no-compromise high performance sub/sat Dolby® Digital home

theater—integrated into a single, complete system.

SIMPLICITY

Then we thought, what if we did this same kind of optimization for true “full size” speakers? And the Digital Solution-2 was born.

This Digital Solution System is the ultimate all-in-one Home Theater System. It’s “simply the best.”

With the DS-2, 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 DS-2 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 DS-2 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!
