ROCKVILLE HTS8 8 inch Complete Powered all in One Entertainment System

Thank you for purchasing this Rockville HTS8 complete powered all in one entertainment system.

The Rockville HTS8 is a complete all in one home theater system! You will not need to purchase anything else. This has everything built in! Each speaker has a powerful 8 woofer for incredible bass and a 1.5 neodymium silk dome tweeter for incredible highs. These speakers have Bluetooth, USB, SD, FM radio, and all of the inputs and outputs you will ever need. We also added a ¼ mic input so this system can be used for karaoke. Unlike a lot of home theater systems, the Rockville HTS8 features a Bi-Amplifier design. The woofer, as well as the tweeter, has an individual Frequency Optimized Amplifier (FOA). These amps guarantee that there is no wasted energy in the amplification stage and an absolute minimum of harmonic distortion. The efficiency of our class D design is in excess of 90% with zero discernible hiss or white noise. We are one of the leading speaker manufacturers in the USA, and we have a state of the art manufacturing process.

Please read this installation guide carefully for proper use of your Rockville HTS8 home theater speaker system. Should you need technical assistance, please call our technical help line at 1-646-758-0144, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm EST.

Do not use these speakers near water; for example, near a bathtub, sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
The speakers should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices that produce heat.
These speakers should be connected to a power supply outlet of the same voltage as that which is specified on the amp plate of the unit. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits from the unit.
