We are proud to bring you the
Roth Audio OLi range of high-quality loudspeakers.
These speakers were developed by a North American engineering team
who have managed to combine astonishing audio quality with a
beautiful finish and still keep things affordable.
We are delighted that they agreed to work with us on this project and
are excited by the results. I was always hesitant to bring speaker
systems to market, as the technology available today does not
necessarily allow us to make significant improvements to what has
been available before.
But, I and the team at Roth Audio believe that what we have here
combines the very best use of technology, materials and design, to
ultimately provide a loudspeaker which we can all be proud of.
I sincerely hope you have many hours of enjoyment listening to your
music on these fine products.

“I think I should
have no other
mortal wants, if I
could always
have plenty of
music. It seems
to infuse
strength into my
limbs and ideas
into my brain.
Life seems to go
on without
effort, when I am
filled with
music.”

“Without music
life would be a
mistake..”
Friedrich
Wilhelm
Nietzsche
Placement of your loudspeakers will greatly affect their performance.
The following guidelines should be considered:
• Placing the loudspeakers at least 6-8 feet (1.8-2.5m) apart will provide the
best stereo sound and image.
• The shape of the room will affect the bass performance, especially when
loudspeakers are placed in the corner of the room.
• Positioning the tweeters so that they play at the listeners ear level provides
for optimum playback.
• Keeping the loudspeaker wire away from AC outlets will reduce interference.
The shape of the listening room and the furnishings will change the way your
system sounds.The bass frequencies will generally be affected by the positioning
and treatment of the room.There will be more perceived bass when a speaker is
moved closer to a wall boundry. In general, however, loudspeakers should be kept
away from side walls as much as possible, as these surfaces can adversely affect the
stereo imaging experienced at the listening position. Positioning the loudspeakers at
least 12-15”away from the side walls will generally provide the best performance.

Before any connections are made, please ensure that all equipment in the system is
turned off. Loudspeaker wire throughout the system should be good quality,
loudspeaker grade audio cable with polarity coding. For loudspeaker wire that runs
less than 25 feet, the cable should be a minimum of 18 AWG, for loudspeaker wire
that runs up to 50 feet, the cable should be 16 AWG and for loudspeaker wire that
runs longer than 50 feet, the cable should be at least 14 AWG.
Connecting the loudspeakers
Remove 3/8" of insulation from the end of the loudspeaker wires to be connected.
Connect the positive lead of the loudspeaker wire (indicated with a "+" or other
marking) to the Red (or positive) loudspeaker terminal. Connect the other
loudspeaker wire lead to the Black (or negative) loudspeaker terminal. Connect the
opposite end of the loudspeaker wire to your amplifier making sure that the
polarity is preserved ("+" to "+" or Red to Red, and "-" to "-" or Black to Black – see
diagram).
Installation
On speakers that feature dual binding posts,
remove the shorting straps when speakers
are being bi-wired or bi-amplified

To ensure that all connections have been made correctly, turn on your system
and begin playback of material you are familiar with. Start off by listening at a
low volume, then slowly raise the volume to a comfortable listening level. A
proper stereo image should be present. If the loudspeakers do not produce a
solid stereo image, please verify the wiring to ensure that the polarity of the
connection is not reversed.
Listening Test
OLi loudspeakers are finished in a high gloss lacquer and black wood grain
vinyl. Cleaning the loudspeakers should be done with a damp cloth. Chemical
cleaners should be avoided, as they may damage the finish.
