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