Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of the RadiusHD loudspeakers. We are conﬁdent they will provide years of enjoyment and pleasure as only high quality components have been used throughout.

Building on the overwhelming success of the original Radius Series, Radius redesigned cabinet proﬁles, enhanced cabinet structure, improved aesthetics and improved sonic balance and response.

The R270

has received major performance enhancements in every area. We have increased the cabinet volume, added an additional rear ﬁring port and also added ballast in the bottom of the cabinet. All of these new features combined to offer improved, tighter, punchier bass response and extra cabinet stability.

The R45

and R90HD come supplied with a wall ﬁxing bracket. This enable upto 18 degrees

of movement in all directions.

We have also introduced a new product to the Radius

Series, the R oneHD. The R oneHD is a left, centre, right in one cabinet. Each channel is enhanced with it’s own braced compartment and individually speciﬁed crossovers. Designed to ﬁt below/ above your TV where the centre channel would normally sit, additional left and right speakers are not needed as the R oneHD houses all three in one.

Please follow this user manual carefully as it contains important information about positioning and set up procedures. For further advanced information on system set-up, FAQ’s and multi-lingual support please refer to our web site at: www.monitoraudio.co.uk

The R45

has a thermal protection device in it. This helps to protect the drive unit and tweeter from permanent damage. If the speaker stops working after a long period of play, turn off the source for about 10 minutes, and retry.
