Introduction With the extraordinary success of RX as its blueprint, the latest Silver Series advances the art of mid-market speaker development with new models and technologies. Features introduced by the prestigious Platinum and Gold series speakers have been refined, and recent innovations in driver engineering incorporated across an extended new Silver series.
Silver 1 The compact new Silver 1 features a single 6” C-CAM® bass/mid-range driver featuring dimpled RST cone technology in a classic two-way monitor configuration. High output and dynamic delivery make the Silver 1 an ideal choice for small to medium rooms in two-channel stereo or multi-channel cinema systems. Silver 2 The Silver 2 features a powerful 8” C-CAM, RST bass/mid driver in a compact two-way stand mount design.
Setting Up AV Positioning The illustrations on the following pages show optimal positioning and some suggested room layouts for AV applications. For advice on configuring a 2 channel system, refer to page 7. The front, and in some cases rear, floor standing and stand mount speakers should be positioned approx 6 - 9 feet apart (1.8m - 2.5m) and start with them about 10 inches (25cm) from the wall.

2 Channel Positioning For use in a 2 channel system, the listening position and the loudspeakers should form an equilateral triangle. The speakers should be positioned approximately 6 - 10 feet (1.8 - 3m) apart. They ideally need to be between 8 - 18 inches (20 - 45cm) away from the rear and 3 feet (1m) from the side walls. Experimentation is strongly advised when initially setting up your speakers, as environments and personal preference differ with each installation.
Fixing the Silver FX to a wall CAUTION: You will need to determine where the Silver FX’s will be fixed and the structure of the wall. For safety reasons, if you are unsure of your ability to provide a secure and safe fixing, do not attempt to fix these speakers to your wall, please obtain the services of a competent and qualified trades person. CAUTION: Ensure that there are no water pipes or electricity cables running behind where the wall brackets are going to be secured.
Spiked Foot For Carpeted Floors Floor standing models only The Silver Series spiked foot incorporates a spike for use on carpeted floors and also, a soft polymer pad for use on wooden or tiled floors. Locking Nut Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet that could be damaged by the spikes. The foot comes fully assembled for use on carpeted floors. All that is required is fixing into the plinth (or cabinet if you chose not to use the plinth).
Connecting Speaker Cables Bare Wire Connection Banana Plugs Single Wire Bi-Wire/ Bi-Amp Unscrew the binding posts and pass the bare wire through the through-hole and tighten the binding post to clamp the wire in place. Connect the banana plugs/ bare wire to the terminals. Connect to either the top, bottom or diagonally (experimentation is advisable to achieve the preferred results). Remove the red and black plastic plugs from the terminals and insert the banana plugs into the holes that are revealed.
Port bungs WARNING: Care must be taken not to insert the port bungs too far into the port, as this may result in the foam bung being lost inside the cabinet. If the loudspeaker is to be installed in a small room, typically 9 sqM ( 80 sqFT), or a room known to reproduce accentuated bass response, it may be desirable to fit port bungs. However, experimentation is recommended with positioning of the loudspeaker in the room prior to fitting.
