Introduction

hank you for purchasing one
of the Tower series speakers by
Henry Kloss. Both of these

T

Tower series speakers
showcase the lifetime of experience
Henry Kloss brings to speaker
design. Henry Kloss examined all
facets of speaker design to ensure
the highest performance possible in
both of these systems. This includes
cabinet shape and construction,
driver size and materials, and driver
placement. Most importantly, Henry
Kloss has included all the complex
internal circuitry needed to ensure a
seamless dynamic “presence” from
either of these speaker systems.

Overview

Read through this manual before
starting to install your speakers.
Decide where to place the Tower
series speakers in your listening
room. Afterwards, you will prepare
the speaker wires, connect and
listen to the speakers. When you are
satisfied with the sound, you may
conceal the wires.

Unpacking And
Checking For
Shipping Damage

1. We suggest that you keep the
shipping carton and packing
materials. They will be useful in
case you move or ship your
speakers.

2. Upon unpacking your speakers,
examine them carefully for any
signs of shipping damage. If
there is evidence of shipping
damage, do not install or use
the speaker. Contact the retailer
where you purchased them.

Speaker Placement

The Tower series speakers are
magnetically shielded, so they may
be placed next to a TV. Most movie
soundtracks sound best with the
speakers positioned to form a 45
angle (see A, below). If this places
the speakers too close to the TV,
move them further out. Avoid
placing the speakers within 18
inches of room corners (see B,
below). Avoid placing Tower II closer
than 5 inches from a back wall (see
C, below). The bipolar Tower speaker

o

should be placed at least 12 inches
from a back wall. The bipolar design
is discussed on the next page. When
placing the speakers close to a
cabinet or wall unit, position their
front surfaces flush with the front
edge of the cabinetry (see D, below).
Have a clear line-of-sight to the
speakers, so that high frequencies
are not blocked. Do not place
speakers near a turntable. Feedback
could result.
