Introduction

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

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 45o 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

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.
