PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR RT
i28 & RTi38 BOOKSHELF LOUDSPEAKERS
The RTi Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers were designed to provide excellent performance on a
bookshelf, in a wall unit or placed on a floor stand (available from your Polk Audio retailer, or
http://shop.polkaudio.com/). To get the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the
speakers so that an equilateral triangle is created between the speakers and your favorite
listening position
[figure 1]. If you must place the speakers farther apart than the distance from
which you are listening, angle the speakers toward the middle in order to support a more solid
center image. If you are using your RT
i Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers as rear channels in a home
theater system, they should be placed on the rear or side walls, slightly above (and, on the side
walls behind) the listening position
[figures 2a & 2b].

i70 & RTi150 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKERS
To get the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers so that an equilateral
triangle is created between the speakers and your favorite listening position
[figure 1]. If your
room arrangement forces you to place the speakers farther apart than the distance from which
you are listening, angle the speakers toward the middle in order to support a more solid center
image. Rubber feet and adjustable carpet spikes are included to provide stability on any type of
floor. To install them, lay the speaker carefully on its side and screw in the spikes as far as they
will go into the threaded inserts in the base of the speaker. For wood or tile floors, slip a rubber
foot over each spike. For carpeted floors, use bare spikes
[figure 3]. You will achieve optimum
performance when the speaker is level and stable in all directions.
Your RTi Series Loudspeakers are magnetically shielded for safe placement
near your TV or video monitor. If you notice video distortion or discoloration,
immediately move the speakers away from the TV and call Polk Audio Customer
Service 800-377-7655 (US and Canada) or polkcs@polkaudio.com.
