UIW RSS II Applications

The UIW RSS II is designed to be mounted in ceilings or in walls as a rear or side surround speaker in stealth home theater systems of the highest quality. In addition, they can be used as a front left, right or center main speaker in a home theater or as a left or right stereo speaker.

UIW RSS II Positioning

Definitive’s UIW RSS II Loudspeakers are designed to be mounted in walls or ceilings with excellent results. Because of their wide dispersion character- istics and other aspects of their superb sonic performance, mounting position in your room is very flexible. Due to the different requirements of the wide variety of room shapes and sizes, we recommend that you consult with the custom installation specialist at your Definitive Technology dealer regarding your own particular needs.

As a general guide when using the RSS II as a surround speaker:

•Try not to locate the RSS IIs forward of the main listening position.

•If ceiling-mounting these speakers directly on either side of the main listening position, the speakers should be oriented so that one set of drivers shoots at the listening position and the other set shoots away from the listening position.

•If ceiling-mounting the speakers directly behind the main listening posi- tion, orient the speakers so that one set of drivers shoots towards the listen- ing position and the other set shoots back away from the listening position.

Your Complete Definitive Home Theater

For best results, we recommend that you use Definitive speakers in combination with your RSS IIs for the best overall sonic performance.

Painting Your UIW RSS II Loudspeakers

The UIW RSS II Loudspeakers are easily paintable and are shipped with plastic paint masks (which should be retained even if you initially decide not to paint the speakers). The grille and frame must be painted separately, and for best results, prior to installation.

For the grille, spray painting is the recommended method. Follow the paint

 

manufacturer’s directions for ventilation and correct spraying procedure. Be

 

very careful not to clog the speaker grille with too heavy a coat of paint as

 

this will impair system sonic performance.

RSS II specifications

The Definitive Technology RSS II (Rear Surround Speaker II) is a remarkable audio accessory designed for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts looking to enhance their sound experience. Known for its immersive sound capabilities, the RSS II integrates seamlessly into various audio setups, providing listeners with an enveloping, cinema-like soundscape.

One of the standout features of the RSS II is its innovative bipolar speaker design.

This surround sound effect helps to mimic the spatial quality of audio found in movie theaters, making it perfect for action-packed films, musical performances, and immersive gaming. This feature allows users to experience sound from multiple directions, adding depth and excitement to any audio experience.

Another significant technology employed by the RSS II is the use of high-quality drivers. The speakers are equipped with a 5.25-inch poly-woven midrange driver and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter. This combination ensures a balanced output of both low and high frequencies, resulting in clear dialogue, dynamic effects, and rich musical tones. The drivers are designed for durability and performance, providing consistent sound quality over time.

The RSS II also stands out with its elegant and contemporary design. Its sleek cabinet is constructed with precision, featuring a brushed black aluminum trim and a smooth finish, enabling it to blend easily with modern home decor. The design is not just aesthetically appealing; it is also functional, minimizing unwanted resonance for cleaner sound reproduction.

Additionally, the RSS II offers flexible mounting options, allowing users to place it on shelves, walls, or use it as part of a more complex audio system setup. The speaker can be used in diverse configurations, which means it can match the needs of various room layouts while still delivering exceptional sound quality.

An integral aspect of the Definitive Technology RSS II is its versatility.
