I am looking for a digital or paper user manual for my Polk SDA-CRS pair. Any tips or info to find this will be very helpful.
I found the manual for the SDA-CRS+, but I would really like to find the earlier manual that came with the SDA-CRS. Any good repro manuals out there for sale for this pair?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I know this is a really old thread but did you ever find a copy/download? I have a pair and would like to have the manual as well.
    My first exposure to Polk was back in 1986 or so. Walked into Audio Craft in Westlake, OH and a salesman was playing Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast through a set of SDA-SRS's...LOUD. Hooked ever since.

    Current Setup:
    • Speakers: Polk SDA-SRS 2.3TL (mains), Polk M5 (center), Polk SDA-1C's (rears), Definitive Technology Reference Supercube sub
    • A/V: Sunfire TGIV preamp, Oppo DV980h SACD/DVDA, Panasonic BDT110 Bluray, Zidoo X9S music server, Kenwood GE-4030 EQ, Carver TFM-6CB (bridged for center channel), Adcom 5400 (rears), B&K Components Reference 200.2 (front/mains).

    Will do. I found a CRS+ manual but just not the same.

    Other than the 'SDA Handbook rev.2' this is all I could find. It's an instruction manual but has some good info on the crossovers.

    Thanks for that link. Just read it in it's entirety and find it strange that the CRS+ tweeter crossover is 2.5Khz vs. the 2B at 2Khz.

    I find that strange too. I thought both of the CRS+ and 2B had the same crossovers according to the schematics. Perhaps that was true for the ealier models and it got carried over when they wrote the new manuals?

    I know next to nothing about crossovers but do you think it could be due to cabinet size or height? Seems like such a small difference though.

    I own the original SDA CRS manual, it's a 19 page little booklet. It was sold to me by one of the polk forum members.

    I will have it scanned when I have a chance and reach out.

    I hope that I am not infringing any copyright laws by sharing a free copy of an old user manual... just a thought that crossed my mind.
