MC SERIES  
OWNERS MANUAL  
 
I N T R O D U C T I O N  
ongratulations on your purchase of the RBH MC Series Theater  
loudspeaker system! Your speakers are 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 features, setup recommendations and specifications for  
RBH MC Series loudspeaker systems. We recommend that you thoroughly  
read through the material contained in this manual before connecting your  
loudspeakers. This will insure that you have a good understanding of how to  
setup your speakers for optimum performance.

lan on giving your speakers 10-15 hours of playing time to adequately  
break in. As the speakers break in, the driver suspension will loosen  
up. The result will be an increase in low frequency response, improved definition,  
clarity and detail.

F E A T U R E S  
t the heart of our MC Series loudspeaker system is a proprietary aluminum  
cone bass/midrange driver (speaker). The unique aluminum cone material  
combines stiffness, low mass, and self damping properties in a manner that allows  
virtually uncolored presentation of program material. A powerful magnet, extended  
voice coil and bumped back plate give the bass/midrange driver high excursion  
capability,whichensuresaccuratedynamicreproduction. The drivers are shielded  
by using a steel cup and an additional magnet to cancel any stray magnetic field  
that many cause interference with video equipment such as tube televisions.  
For high frequencies, a proprietary aluminum dome tweeter was developed.  
This tweeter uses Ferro Fluid® liquid cooling allowing the tweeter to handle  
greater power while retaining detail and accuracy.  
Steep acoustic slope crossovers are used to integrate drivers. A polyswitch,  
or current limiting device, is used in the crossover to prevent damage to  
the tweeter if overdriven.  
Resonance Damping Alloy Baffle technology will dampen  
cabinet vibrations and minimize tweeter diffraction, all while giving a visually  
pleasing look to the speaker.  
Cabinets are constructed of MDF. Front baffles are extra thick to prevent  
any excess acoustic radiation and have a narrow profile to minimize cabinet  
diffraction. Large oversized binding posts ensure a good electrical contact.  
Sophisticated computer modeling and measurement techniques are used  
extensively in the RBH loudspeaker design process.

SETUP SUGGESTIONS  
hen attaching speaker wire to the terminals, we suggest removing the  
black and red plastic protective inserts. To do this, loosen the binder from  
the post by twisting counter-clockwise until the binder is removed completely  
from the post. Remove the plastic inserts by pulling straight out, then replace  
the binder to the post and twist clockwise. A hole is provided in the post to allow  
for speaker wire to slide into, then the binder is tightened until the wire is secure.  
Remember to strip the insulation from the wire prior to inserting into the post.  
In order to extract the best possible sound from your speaker system, it is  
important to determine where the speakers will sound best in your listening  
room. Room reflections from the floor, ceiling and side walls influence the  
balance, imaging and overall sonic quality at the listening position. We  
suggest that you experiment with speaker placement to determine which  
location offers the best overall sound. The diagram on page 5 should be  
used as a general guide when setting up a home theater system and follows  
the descriptions in the following paragraphs. Some speakers shown in the  
diagram will not always be applicable to your individual system.  
The model MC-6CT comes with stabilizing feet. To install, place each foot  
so that the center hole of the foot is over each pilot hole on the bottom of  
the cabinet. Use the supplied screws to attach, noticing that the pilot hole is  
drilled on an angle. This is done so that the foot will be pulled in tight against  
the speaker cabinet. Install either the supplied spike or rubber mount as  
necessary into the threaded insert.

SETUP SUGGESTIONS CONTINUED  
s a starting point, we recommend placing your left and right MAIN  
speakers at least 15 inches from the back wall and 7 feet apart from  
each other. 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 towards the listening position may give a  
more spacious and realistic sound stage.  
The CENTER channel speaker should be placed in the center between both  
left and right main speakers. Often this positioning dictates placing the speaker  
either directly above or below a television monitor. Since all MC Series prod-  
ucts are video shielded, the center speaker may be placed close to a television  
without cause for concern. If using an MC-414C, the speaker may be in a  
horizontal (lying down) or vertical position.  
SURROUND* speakersmaybeplacedeitherabove, behindortothesidesofthe  
listening position. The listening position should be at the center of both surround  
speakers. For best performance you may want to experiment with angling the  
surround speakers either towards or away from the listening position.  
*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. Please consult your audio/video professional to determine which system is best for you and  
how many speakers you will require.
