OWNER’S MANUAL
8 INCH COMPLETE POWERED ALL IN
ONE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
HTS8HTS8

2
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-Amplier design.
The woofer, as well as the tweeter, has an individual Frequency Optimized Amplier
(FOA). These amps guarantee that there is no wasted energy in the amplcation stage
and an absolute minimum of harmonic dsitortion. The effciency of our class D design is in
excess of 90% with zero discernible hiss or white noise. We are one of the leading speak-
er 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.
