THE RUSSOUND ADVANTAGE
Thank you for selecting Russound Advantage Series speakers. Like all Russound speakers, they combine advanced acoustic technology with durability to provide years of listening enjoyment. The Advantage speaker line is composed of the Music and the Hi-Fi Series.
The Music Series is designed to provide an optimum bal- ance between performance and price, delivering superior sound for all applications at a most affordable cost. The Music Series is perfect for multi-room audio systems as well as surround sound applications, providing exemplary reproduction throughout the home.
The Hi-Fi Series combines the finest components with our most advanced drivers to deliver exceptional per- formance in every application. From background music to spectacular surround sound, Hi-Fi Series speakers offer the finest sound around.
Iso-Mount™ technology takes the Advantage Series beyond ordinary in-wall speakers by reducing undesirable wall vibrations with a unique thermopolymer isolation mounting gasket. Where typical in-wall speakers lack clarity due to speaker-induced wall vibrations, Iso-Mount speakers offer dramatic sonic improvement by letting the music come only from the speakers, not from the wall as well. In addi- tion, the innovative Twist & Lock™ mounting system incor- porated in Iso-Mount models provides exceptionally easy and secure installation.
Iso-Mount speakers have a molded-in IR receiver open- ing that allows mounting an infrared remote receiver through the speaker baffle. The blue polymer plug is designed to pop out for screw-in installation of an IR receiver such as the Russound SaphIR™ Eye without damaging the speaker baffle.
In addition to Iso-Mount and Twist & Lock features, Russound Advantage speakers feature high quality driv- ers, sophisticated crossover networks, and advanced designs to ensure optimum reproduction in your home, no matter what the source material may be.
WOVEN GLASS FIBER WOOFER/MIDRANGE CONE Our woven glass fiber cone employs the best of modern technology to deliver an optimum balance of performance.
Its superior transient response and light weight produce excellent low distortion voice reproduction and high effi- ciency. The result is exceptional sound from deep bass through the all-critical midrange frequencies.
LARGE HIGH-ENERGY MAGNETIC MOTOR SYSTEMS
These powerful motors drive the woofer/midrange cone to reproduce sound. Their advanced Finite Element Analysis design means they are optimized to mate per- fectly with the glass fiber cones, delivering all the power needed with finesse and superior control. A dual vented design and large Kapton® voice coil ensure adequate power handling under the most demanding situations.
SILK OR ALUMINUM DOME TWEETERS These fluid cooled devices utilize rare-earth Neodymium magnet assemblies and lightweight domes to reproduce every subtle nuance of the musical or cinema sound source. A computer-designed lens helps smooth their response and aids in delivering wide dispersion for excel- lent sound throughout the listening area.
COMPUTER DESIGNED ASYMMETRICAL CROSSOVERS
The crossover is the traffic cop for the audio signal, dividing the lows from the highs and sending them off to the proper driver element. It also matches driver effi- ciencies and phase relationships to make sure that the different drivers work in unison. Advantage asymmetri- cal crossovers are very sophisticated designs, blending and matching the output of our proprietary drivers into a seamless and accurate sound field. Asymmetrical refers to the roll-off slope of the woofer/midrange being differ- ent from the roll-on slope of the tweeter. The result is both better driver integration and better time coherence in the speaker’s output. We also use high quality compo- nents to ensure long life and excellent unit-to-unit consis- tency.
HIGH FREQUENCY SWITCH
This adjustment allows you to tailor the sound of Advantage speakers to better match the listening envi- ronment. The switch offers a flat response position (-) and a plus 3 dB position (+). It is located on the front baffle of Iso-Mount models.
