At Energy®Loudspeakers, we are rarely considered
conventional. We believe that all sound channels
in home theater should possess the same sound
“power”.

So, we built the RVSS, a compact effects satellite
speaker that will provide both the omnidirectional
sense of spaciousness and ambiance recorded in
the original soundtrack and still deliver sound
power to the listener that is very similar to the
front speakers. The result is smooth, virtually
seamless, panning of special effects from the front
to the rear, and all around the listener.

The best home theater surround sound results are
conventionally derived from dipole speakers that
provide for a “null” in the sound radiation pattern.
By aiming this “dead” spot towards the main
listening position, the pattern produces the desired
enveloping phenomenon, offering no specific
directional cues to the listener. Many effects
speakers do that. But, by design, they are forced
to sacrifice bass.

RVSS satellite speakers are engineered

with this essential dipole radiation pattern. It is

especially effective in the critical 400 - 20KHz
mid-to-high frequency range. In addition, the
RVSS also features unusually deep bass response
in the 60 - 400Hz range. This is a characteristic
not often found in other surround speaker designs,
due to a unique bipolar arrangement in the low
frequency section. And, they still retain the
compact size that home theater sound system
owners are used to.

The RVSS effects satellite loudspeakers are rated to
handle from 15 to 125-watts per channel RMS,
making them compatible with many quality
electronic components. And, the configuration of
the dual-vent cabinet design also allows complete
versatility in placement, in either side wall, rear or
corner applications. They are available in a rich
black finish or in neutral white.

system could sound, visit your nearest Energy

Features and Benefits

• Energy®RVSS satellite speakers are engineered
with a combined dipolar and

bipolar radiation
pattern, permitting both the enveloping sound
demanded by high quality home theater and
extended bass output, unlike virtually all other
effects satellites.

• The dipolar pattern, developed in the critical
400- 20KHz mid-to-high frequency range,
produces the spacious, enveloping sound
character vital to the home theater and
multi-channel music experience.

• Deep BIPOLAR bass response in the 60 - 400Hz
range delivers the impact needed to render
soundtracks realistically.

• The RVSS is still compact in size enhancing
placement flexibility.

• Two 3/4 inch (19mm) ferro-fluid cooled soft
dome tweeters are combined in a specially
shaped enclosure with two 5 1/4 inch (13.3cm)
drivers. This unique combination, plus a
specially designed crossover network is the
“brains” behind the exceptional sound.

• Injection molded polypropylene cones prevent
distortion and ensure smooth frequency
response throughout the wide dynamic range.

• The crossover point occurs at 2.2kHz. This
extremely low crossover ensures that effects
directionality does not occur.

• Nominal impedance is 6-ohms. Rated to handle
from 15 to 125-watts per channel RMS, making
them perfectly compatible with many quality
electronic components.

• Complete versatility in placement, in either side
wall, rear or corner applications.

• Available in a rich black finish or in neutral white
to suit any home theater or multi-channel music
application.
