Features  
The cabinet of the AWS-6 is constructed of impact resistant ABS plastic that  
is sealed to provide resistance from the natural elements of the weather. The  
rounded back is for easy placement into a corner. All hardware parts are made  
from brass, aluminum or stainless steel and the binding posts are plastic to  
avoid rusting and/or corrosion.  
For high frequencies, a 1” mylar dome tweeter is used. This tweeter uses Ferro  
Fluid™ liquid cooling to allow greater power handling. For midrange and bass  
reproduction a long throw 6ꢀ” polygraphite woofer with a butyl rubber  
surround is used.  
Steep acoustic slope crossovers are used to integrate drivers. The use of  
steep crossover slopes allows high power handling, minimizes driver interaction  
anomalies, and maximizes the clarity with which each driver is able to produce  
its respective frequency band.  
The bracket for the AWS-6 allows the speaker to be hung either horizontally  
or vertically, can be mounted several different ways and swivels for optimum place-  
ment.  
System Setup and Placement  
In order to extract the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is im-  
portant to determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening area.  
Reflections from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the balance, imaging  
and overall sonic quality at the listening position. We suggest you experiment  
with speaker placement to determine which location offers the best overall  
sound and protection from direct weather elements.  
The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the  
distance that separates the two main speakers. Angling the speakers inward to-  
wards the listening position may give a more spacious and realistic sound stage.  
Placing the speakers in a corner or under an eave will provide reinforcement  
for the bass frequencies, resulting in higher bass output. Placing the speakers  
away from any corners or walls will provide the least amount of reinforcement,  
resulting in lower bass output.

Installation  
As mentioned earlier in this manual, the bracket has the ability to be mounted a  
variety of different ways. To elaborate on this, it may be mounted with either nails  
or screws, horizontally or vertically. There is a hole in the center of the bracket to  
allow speaker wire through so it may be properly attached to the speaker.  
You will notice two corner support brackets included in the packaging. These  
slide into the corners of the bracket and are attached with the stailess steel  
machine screws provided. We recommend these extra brackets be used any-  
time the speakers are mounted to a structure that creates motion (such as a  
boat or R.V.) or when any type of reinforcement is needed.  
It is best to consult your local RBH dealer or installer with any further ques-  
Mounting & Connections  
A. The AWS-6 can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.Hold the bracket  
against the mounting surface, so you can mark the locations of the mounting  
holes, and the wire hole (see Parts Guide).  
B. Drill corresponding pilot holes for the included mounting screws or nails (not  
included), and a hole large enough for speaker wire to pass through.

C. Pull speaker wire through the hole and through the bracket, aligning the  
bracket with the pilot holes.  
D. Use hardware to attach the bracket to the mounting surface.  
E. Use the bracket knobs to attach the AWS-6 to the bracket, being careful to  
not tighten the knobs; this will allow theAWS-6 to be angled slightly so the rear  
binding posts are accessible (see Parts Guide).  
F. Connect one wire to the black terminal and one to the red terminal, paying  
close attention to the markings on the wire for proper polarity. Each speaker  
must be connected to the amplifier in the same way.  
G. Adjust the AWS-6 for desired position and tighten the bracket knobs.  
Break-in Period*  
Plan on giving your speakers 10-15 hours of playing time to adequately “break  
in.During this time period the driver suspension will loosen up. The result will  
be an increase in low frequency response and improved definition.  
*NOTE:This is an important step that is most often disregarded. Allowing your  
speakers the specified “break in” period can prolong the life of your speakers  
and enhance their tonal qualities as mentioned above.  
Operation  
We recommend an amplifier with an output power rating of 25-100 watts per  
channel. This will help to protect the speaker from being under or over driven,  
which could cause permanant damage.  
When listening to the speakers outdoors, keep in mind that there are very few  
walls to reinforce the sound. Therefore, be careful not to drive the speakers  
beyond what they are capable when trying to obtain a desired volume level.  
You will be able to determine audibly when the speaker is being overdriven by  
the “break-up” or distortion that is coming from the speaker.
