RM40 System

Big Speaker Sound...Without the Big Speaker

Beauty and Brawn in One Compact System

Five compact speakers and a high performance Powered Subwoofer make up the RM40 home theater speaker system. Its stylishly sculpted anodized Aluminum Towers look awesome next to your plasma or flat screen television. This system was designed for minimal intrusion into your space, and maximum sound quality.

High tech materials and features, such as patented PowerPort® bass venting technology and Dynamic Balance composite structure drivers ensure superior performance, delivering rich, full-bodied, big speaker sound from beautiful, compact packages.

The RM40 System features:

• Custom configuration! Each part of the RM Series is packaged separately so you can custom configure the system that best fits your needs and budget. See the systems chart at the bottom of the RM40T page page for other systems based around the floorstanding RM40 Tower. Or just order the system described here: RM40T front, RM302 center, RM101 surround and PSW404 subwoofer.
• Stylishly curved enclosures formed of heavy duty, non-resonant Aluminum; the shape breaks up internal standing wave resonance for pure, lifelike sound.
• Individual satellites & centers available to accommodate 6.1 or 7.1 channel systems.
• The towers, center and surround speakers feature Power Port Bass Vents hidden under the grilles to extend and strengthen their lower-midrange performance for a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. Unlike competing slim speaker systems, with this system you'll experience full, rich, natural voices and other midrange sounds.
• Center Channel Speaker features an exclusive Center Channel Cradle that aims the speaker toward the listener, from above or below the TV.
• Surround (RM201) and center (RM302) speakers feature Swivel Wall-Mounting Brackets with hidden wire channels
• Threaded inserts on the back of the surround and center speakers allow use of fully articulating brackets (sold separately).
• Broad dispersion design allows everyone in the listening area to hear clear, well-balanced sound.
• Front Tower and Center speakers feature Dual 4-1/2 inch (11.4 cm) Mineral Filled Polymer Dynamic Balance midrange drivers for clear, distortion-free midrange even at high volume levels.
• Front Towers, Center and Surround speakers feature 1 inch (25mm) Dynamic Balance Silk/Polymer Composite Dome Tweeter for sweet highs and more lifelike imaging.
• Surround speakers feature dual 3-1/4 inch (8.25cm) Mineral Filled Polymer Dynamic Balance midrange drivers for clear, distortion-free midrange even at high volume levels.
• Connect your RM Series Satellites securely and conveniently with their high quality 5-way binding post inputs.
• Powered Subwoofer (PSW404) with massive 10 inch driver and Slot Loaded Port technology pours out deep, ground-pounding bass. Your neighbors will hate you (and be jealous at the same time).
• Satellites are magnetically shielded for safe placement near your state-of-the-art TV or video monitor with no risk of video distortion.
