Introduction
Congratulations.on.your.
and.tweeters.are.arranged.in.a.
dispersion.averaging.alignment.
which.focuses.the.sound.at.the.
listening.position.for.unbeliev-
able.imaging..Another.benefit.of.
this.alignment.is.reduced.sound.
reflections.from.other.surfaces.in.
the.listening.environment..These.
sonic.attributes.are.not.typically.
found.in.a.speaker.capable.of.
delivering.the.sound.pressure.
levels.the.T-30LSE.can.produce.
purchase.of.an.RBH.T-30LSE.
loudspeaker!.Your.speaker.is.
the.result.of.many.years.of.
research.and.development.
dedicated.to.producing.high.
quality.products.for.home.audio.
and.audio/video.systems.
This.manual.contains.fea-
tures,.setup.recommendations.
and.specifications.for.the.RBH.
T-30LSE.high.performance.
loudspeaker...We.recommend.

the.material.contained.in.this.
manual.before.connecting.your.
loudspeaker..This.will.ensure.
that.you.have.an.understanding.
of.how.to.setup.your.speaker.
for.optimum.performance.
Imagine.bass.so.strong,.yet.
so.balanced..Now,.imagine.this.
power.coupled.with.acoustic.
detail.and.resolution.so.pure.
and.so.refined,.you’ll.have.to.
double-check.to.make.sure.
the.performance.isn’t.live.
in.your.listening.room.
In.2006,.celebrating.thirty.
years.in.business.and.continu-
ing.RBH.Sound’s.tradition.
of.excellence.in.loudspeaker.
The.3-way.T-30LSE.loudspeaker.
provides.pristine.audio.clar-
ity,.producing.extreme.sound.
pressure.levels,.and.is.designed.
craftsmanship,.we.developed.our. for.high-end.listening.rooms.
highest.performance.freestand-
ing.tower.speaker,.the.T-30LSE.
and.larger.home.theaters..The.
T-30LSE.truly.is.a.work.of.art..
However,.like.a.work.of.art,.this.
speaker.is.limited.to.100.pair,.
each.pair.personally.signed.by.
the.man.who.founded.RBH.Sound.
30.years.ago,.Roger.B..Hassing.
The.T-30LSE.is.the.result.
of.combining.the.latest.in.
loudspeaker.technologies.
with.over.three.decades.of.
engineering.expertise..At.the.
forefront.of.the.best-of-the-
best.freestanding.loudspeak-
ers,.the.T-30LSE.is.an.audio.
enthusiast’s.dream.come.true.
Higher.resolution.and.
increased.articulation.are.the.
end.result.of.the.T-30LSE’s.

Cabinets.are.constructed.of.
¾-inch.medium.density.fiber-
board.due.to.its.inert.proper-
ties..The.thickness.of.the.front.
baffles.also.prevents.excess.
acoustic.radiation..Sophisti-
cated.computer.modeling.and.
measurement.techniques.are.
used.extensively.in.the.RBH.
loudspeaker.design.process.
Crossover
Steep.acoustic.slope.cross-
overs.are.used.to.integrate.
the.drivers..The.use.of.steep.
crossover.slopes.allow.high.
power.handling,.minimize.
maximize.the.clarity.with.which.
each.driver.is.able.to.produce.its.

Speaker Positioning
In.order.to.extract.the.best.
important.that.the.T-30LSEs.are.
positioned.so.the.tweeters.face.
toward.the.center.of.the.listen-
ing.position..If.the.tweeters.are.

Attaching Speaker Cables
When.using.a.banana.jack.to.attach.
speaker.cables.to.the.binding.post.
terminals,.insert.the.speaker.cables.
into.the.banana.jack..Next.insert.the.
banana.jack.into.the.hole.provided.in.
the.top.of.the.terminal..Repeat.for.the.
other.speaker.cable(s).as.necessary.
If.not.using.a.banana.jack,.simply.
loosen.the.binding.nut.to.allow.the.
hole.in.the.side.of.the.terminal.to.
become.exposed..Strip.¼-inch.of.
the.insulation.from.the.end.of.the.
speaker.cable.and.insert.the.exposed.
wire.end.into.the.now.exposed.hole.
in.the.side.of.the.terminal..Tighten.
the.binding.nut.by.turning.the.nut.
clockwise.until.the.speaker.cable.
is.secured..Repeat.for.the.other.

Setup Suggestions
As.a.general.guide,.use.the.room.
layout.diagram.shown.below.and.follow.
the.descriptions.when.setting.up.a.home.
theater.system..Some.speakers.shown.
in.the.room.layout.diagram.may.not.be.
applicable.to.your.individual.system.
position.to.each.speaker.should.be.close.
to.the.distance.that.separates.the.two.
main.speakers..Angling.the.speakers.inward.
towards.the.listening.position.may.give.a.
more.spacious.and.realistic.sound.stage..
Center Channel Speaker
Front Main Speakers
The.Center.Channel.Speaker.should.
be.placed.between.both.left.and.right.
main.speakers..Often.this.positioning.
dictates.placing.the.speaker.either.directly.
above.or.below.a.television.monitor.
As.a.starting.point,.place.your.left.and.
right.front.speakers.at.least.15.inches.
from.the.wall.and.7-feet.apart.from.each.
other..The.distance.from.the.listening.
NOTE:. There. are. several. different. surround. formats. available.. Dolby. Pro-Logic,. Pro-Logic. II,. Dolby. Digital. and. DTS.
generally.have.a.5.speaker.plus.subwoofer.requirement..Dolby.Digital.EX.and.DTS.ES.add.a.center.rear.speaker..Dolby.
TrueHD.and.DTS.Master.Audio.available.only.on.Blu-ray.disc,.generally.have.a.7.1.requirement..Please.consult.your.audio/
video.professional.to.determine.which.system.is.best.for.you.and.how.many.speakers.you.will.require.

Setup Suggestions (continued)
listening.room..Bass.frequen-
cies.are.reinforced.by.close.
room.boundaries..Placing.the.
subwoofer.in.a.corner.will.make.
the.subwoofer.sound.louder.and.
boost.the.very.lowest.frequen-
cies..Placing.the.subwoofer.
away.from.walls.will.provide.
the.least.reinforcement,.making.
the.bass.sound.subjectively.
thinner.than.if.the.woofer.were.
close.to.a.wall..Good.results.can.
usually.be.obtained.by.placing.
a.subwoofer.along.a.wall.1-3.
feet.from.a.corner..Experiment.
with.subwoofer.placement.and.
the.amplifier.controls.to.achieve.
the.proper.bass.balance..
Rear Surround Speakers
The.Surround.Speakers.may.
be.placed.either.above,.behind.
or.to.the.sides.of.the.listening.
position..The.listening.position.
should.be.centered.between.
the.surround.speakers..For.best.
performance,.you.may.want.to.
experiment.with.angling.the.sur-
round.speakers.either.towards.or.
away.from.the.listening.position.
Subwoofer
Placement.of.the.subwoofer.
will.largely.determine.quality,.
quantity,.and.extension.of.the.
bass.frequencies.within.your.
Break-in Period
Speakers.are.mechanical.as.
well.as.electrical.devices..Much.
in.the.same.way.automobile.
engines.need.break-in.mile-
age.before.performing.their.
best,.audio.speakers.need.to.
be.broken.in.before.their.true.
sonic.qualities.become.appar-
ent..This.is.especially.true.of.
higher.quality.speakers,.such.
as.those.you.have.purchased..
Plan.on.giving.your.speak-
ers.several.hours.of.playing.
time.to.adequately.break-in..
As.the.speaker.breaks.in,.the.
driver.suspension.will.loosen.up.
resulting.in.an.increase.in.low.
frequency.response,.improved.
definition,.clarity.and.detail..

Care and Cleaning
To.keep.up.the.appearance.
Grilles.can.get.pretty.dusty,.
part.of.their.job.is.to.protect.
your.speaker’s.drivers,.and.if.
they’re.not.capturing.and.hold-
ing.dust,.they’re.not.doing.their.
job..To.clean.the.grille,.carefully.
vacuum.to.remove.the.dust..
and.speaker.maintenance.of.
your.speaker,.lets.start.with.the.
cabinet..Whether.your.cabinet.
boasts.a.real.wood.veneer,.or.
a.shiny.black.laminate.finish.
it’s.still.going.to.get.dusty..
You.will.definitely.want.to.keep.
typical.furniture.polishes.or.
sprays.away.from.your.speaker.
cabinet..Simply.cleaning.the.
cabinet.with.a.soft.cloth,.
perhaps.lightly.dampened.by.
water.should.easily.remove.any.
dust..Wiping.dust.away.from.
the.grille,.toward.the.back.of.
the.speaker.is.recommended..
Avoid.touching.your.drivers.as.
much.as.possible.but.dust.can.
certainly.build.up.on.drivers.too..
If.your.drivers.have.become.seri-
ously.dusty,.try.using.a.clean.dry.
soft.bristle.paintbrush.to.remove.
the.dust.by.lightly.brushing.off.
the.dust,.or.use.a.can.of.com-
pressed.air.to.blow.the.dust.off.
Grilles.attract.dust,.and.if.
you.bump.your.dusting.cloth.
against.the.edge.of.grile,.
you’re.likely.to.see.a.dusty.
residue.appear.on.the.grille..
