Thank you for purchasing the best marine speakers in the world. After years of development and testing, we are
proud to introduce the R1 Series marine speakers, built to outlast - and outperform - every other marine speaker on
the market. We at Roswell started a revolution in the wakeboard industry back in 1998, and have since expanded
into marine audio and other branches of the marine industry. Even now, nearly 20 years later, we continue to push
the boundaries.
We are fully committed to going past industry expectations every day to make your boating experience more
enjoyable. With the input of our dealers, team riders, and boaters around the world, our goal remains to redene
the marine industry day in and day out. We will not be conned to our desks; we are out on the water testing our
full line of products to ensure your days on the water are as hassle-free and enjoyable as possible.
The R1 Series is simply the latest iteration of that commitment. Thanks again for choosing Roswell and keep an eye

Use & Care
These speakers are built to the highest standards of marine durability. However, they are still a sensitive piece of electronic
equipment. When cleaning, avoid hosing down the speakers directly and do not use harsh cleaners on the R1’s as they could
damage the nish. Simply wiping the speaker down with a damp cloth should be sucient to ensure years of enjoyment.
It is necessary to regularly check the tightness of the bolts securing the R1 speaker to your tower. Bolts and screws tend to
rattle loose over time due to the vibrations and shaking that your boat experiences while on the water or in transit.
Covering your speakers with something removable like saran wrap or aftermarket fabric covers during transit or storage can
save you a lot of time cleaning and also protect your speakers from damage.
