Placing the speakers
Finding the best locations for your
speakers before you connect them
to your amplifier will make routing
the wires easier.
Important
Please wait until you've connected
all of the cables before plugging the
amplifier into the AC wall outlet
and turning it on.
· For the best stereo effect, place
the speakers 6 ft to 12 ft apart
along the same wall, with the
main listening area midway
between the 2 speakers.
· Placing the speakers in opposite
corners of a room does not
produce a stereo effect.
· Rotate each speaker slightly
toward the center of the listening
area--this can improve the
stereo effect, especially if the
speakers are more than 8 feet
apart.
· For KVS-200 speakers, place the
speakers near seated ear level. If
you place them on shelves,
putting them near the front edge
of the shelf will help minimize
reflections that can interfere with
the sound.
· For more bass output, place the
speakers with their backs against
a wall. The increase may be very
slight or it may be more
pronounced. If the speakers
seem to make male voices sound
unnaturally heavy, or `chesty', try
moving the speakers 1 or 2 feet
away from the wall.
· Placing the speakers in corners
will provide maximum bass
output.
· Since these speakers are magnet-
ically shielded, you can place
them close to your TV without
worrying about picture discol-
oration. For best sound with
video, place the speakers
between 2 and 4 feet away from
the sides of the TV.
Preparing and
connecting the
speaker wire
For bare wire
1 Strip 1/2" of the plastic cover
from the ends of the wire.
2 Twist the wire to get rid of the
loose strands.
3 Follow the instructions on the
next page.
For spade lugs (KVS-400 and
KVS-300)
1 Loosen the plastic caps on the
speaker connectors.
2 Insert the spade lugs around the
posts. If the lug is too narrow,
insert one prong through the
hole in the post, making sure that
the (+) and (-) prongs don't
touch each other.
3 Tighten the caps.
For banana or dual-banana
connectors (KVS-400 and
KVS-300)
1 Tighten the plastic caps on the
speaker connectors.
2 Insert the banana connectors all
the way into the holes in the
center of the caps.
Important
· Make sure your receiver or
amplifier's power cord is
unplugged from the wall outlet
before making any connec-
tions.
· Make sure you connect the
positive connections of the
speakers to the positive
connections of the receiver or
amplifier, and the negative
connections of the speakers to
the negative connections of
the receiver or amplifier. If
these connections are
mismatched, you'll get poor
bass performance and weak
sound-placement characteris-
tics.
· Check to make sure that no
strands from one terminal
touch any other terminal.
