CABINET CARE
Great care and craftsmanship has gone into the construction and nish of the cabinet. Periodically
use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or ngerprints. Do not use strong chemical cleaners, paper
towels or other abrasive materials as it may damage the nish.
IMPORTANT REMARKS
Please read this instruction manual carefully before installation and keep it for future reference.
• If not clearly specied otherwise in the product specications (available on the
www.tagaharmony.com website), this speaker is intended for indoor use only.
• Please do not dismantle any parts of the speakers as this may void your warranty – servicing
should be done only by a qualied TAGA Harmony repair center.
• During connecting the speakers make sure to power off your amplier(receiver) or other
source.
• Make sure that all connections are done according to this manual and a manual provided with
your amplier(receiver).
• Make sure that your amplier(receiver) has suitable output power and a working impedance
compatible with the speakers. Using an unsuitable amplier(receiver) may damage the
speakers and/or amplier(receiver) and may void your warranty. The speakers may be
damaged by too powerful amplier(receiver) [too high output power] as well as by an
underpowered amplier(receiver) [distortions of sound].
• Do not use high volume levels for a long time – this may damage the speakers and void your
warranty.
• When switching on and off your amplier(receiver), turn down the volume to avoid strong
electrical impact to be delivered to the speakers.
• Avoid positioning the speakers too near to a traditional TV set – these speakers are not
magnetically shielded.
• Position the speakers in ventilated and dry atmosphere and do not expose them to sun or
other heat sources.
• Position the speakers on a stable and hard surface.
• Make sure to avoid short-circuit of + and - speaker terminals : this may damage the speakers
and/or amplier (receiver) and may void your warranty.
• When the speakers are not operating, cover them with protective grills (if supplied).
• As safety precautions to avoid tip-over of speakers we recommend to anchor them to the wall
or other permanent construction.
Note! Wall anchoring devices have to be purchased separately and are not delivered with
your speaker.

Floorstanding Speakers Remarks:
• Never drag the speakers to move them, as this can damage the spikes and/or the cabinet.
Always lift the speakers and carry them to a new location.
• The speakers have a high center of gravity and may become unstable and fall over during
earthquakes, when rocked or improperly positioned. If this is a concern, the speakers should be
anchored to the wall, oor or other solid objects.
• If your speaker is equipped with 2 adjoining threaded sockets at each speaker corner then to
provide better speaker stability the outer sockets are recommended for installing the spikes.
• Certain speakers may be provided with additional rubber feet which can be used
interchangeably with the spikes.
• Depending on the series and model the speakers may be provided with additional spike
accessories (like decorative rings etc.).
Bookshelf (B), Satellite (S), Surround (S), LCR and LCRS Speakers and Home Theatre
packages:
Place the carton on the oor.
Open it and carefully take out the speaker / speakers.
Installing optional rubber pads
Certain speakers may be supplied with self-adhesive rubber pads.
If you plan to place your speakers on bookshelves, speaker stands and
other surfaces you may protect your speakers and placement surfaces
by installing the rubber pads to the bottom corners of your speakers.

STEREO : Floorstanding (F) / Bookshelf (B) / Satellite (S) / LCR (left - right)
/ LCRS (left - right)
Before deciding where to place the speakers, search for the best location in your room, keep in
mind the following rules and base on the gure on this page as a guide:
• For the best results, place the speakers 150 -250 cm (5 – 8 feet) apart from each other and
this distance should be around ¾ of the distance from your listening position to the front line of
speakers.
• Keep the tweeters approximately at the ear level while seated.
• Twisting the speakers a little inward towards the listening position may give a more spacious
and realistic soundstage.
• Placing the speakers near a corner or back wall will tend to increase their bass output, but may
result in “boomy” or “muddy” sound.
• Placing the speakers further into the room will tend to decrease their bass output, but may
result in improved articulation and clarity.
• Place the speakers at least 60 cm (2 feet) away from corners and other surfaces which may
interfere or reect sound (like tall furniture).
• Some models may be labeled as the Left and Right channel (according to the info on the rear
speaker label).
• We suggest to experiment with speakers placement to achieve the best bass level and stereo
imaging in your room.
• Refer to the “HOME THEATRE” chapter if you also plan to use the speakers in your home
theatre system.

Placement
HOME THEATRE
For FRONT channels: use the main speakers (Floorstanding (F) / Bookshelf (B) / Satellite (S)
/ LCR (left - right) / LCRS (left - right)). Place one speaker on the left and another on the right,
along either side of your video screen (TV, projection screen).
Refer to the “STEREO” chapter for further information regarding front speakers placement.
For CENTER channel: use the center speaker (Center (C) / LCR (center) / LCRS (center)).
Place the speaker horizontally at the ear level while seated. If you have a TV mounted on wall,
place the speaker slightly below it. If you have a TV on a table, place the speaker above it and
angle it towards the ear level while seated (if possible).
6.0/6.1 systems – place the second center speaker (rear center) on the opposite wall to the rst
one – at the same height and angle it towards the ear level while seated (if possible).
The center speakers can be placed on bookshelves, speaker stands or hung on walls.
For SURROUND channels: use the surround speakers (Satellite (S) / Surround (S) / LCR
(surround: left - right) / LCRS (surround: left – right)). The surround speakers can be placed on
bookshelves, speaker stands or hung on walls.
Place the speakers above the ear level while seated, but no higher than the ear level while
standing.
5.0/5.1/6.0/6.1 systems – place the right and left surround on the right and left side of your
listening position or place them in corners behind your listening position.
7.0/7.1 systems – place the right and left surround on the right and left side of your listening
position. The two additional rear surround speakers should be placed behind your listening
position. They should be placed at equal distances from your listening position, and about half as
far as the right and left surrounds. All four surrounds should be mounted at the same height.
For BASS channel: use the active subwoofer. TAGA Harmony active subwoofers will add impact
and realism to both music and lm soundtracks. Contact your TAGA Harmony dealer to learn
more about the best option for your system. Refer to your subwoofer instruction manual for more
information about your subwoofer placement.
Note! Final placement depends on a home theatre system, room acoustics and space, and your
listening preferences.
Satellite (S) Speakers
TAGA Harmony speakers marked as „satellite speakers” can be used in Stereo (as Left and Right
speakers) and Home Theatre systems (as Front and Surround channels).
LCR / LCRS Speakers
TAGA Harmony LCR and LCRS speakers can be used in Stereo (as Left and Right speakers) and
Home Theatre systems (as Front, Center and Surround channels).
Dipole / Bipole Surround Speakers
Certain surround speakers may have a Dipole / Bipole design with a set of drivers located on the
either side of the speakers. When installing such speakers make sure that the speakers’ sides
with the tweeters drivers on the top (over the mid-woofer drivers) face the front of the listening
room.

Wall-Mounting of Satellite (S), Surround (S),
Center (C), LCR and LCRS speakers
Certain speakers can be equipped with wall mounts located on the rear panels. They can be
mounted on walls or other vertical surfaces. The customer is responsible for proper selection
and use of mounting hardware (not provided with the product) to properly and safely install the
speakers on walls.
Note! The speakers are not intended for ceiling mounting!
• In order to install the speaker choose and prepare hooks and screws or wall anchors which are
appropriate for the mounting surface and the speaker weight - check with your local dealer or
installer for more details.
Note! Hooks, screws and wall anchors are not included with your speakers.
• Install the prepared mounting hardware in the wall where you want to mount the speaker.
• Connect the speaker cable to the speaker terminals.
• Hang the speaker on the wall.
Note! For on-wall installations we recommend to install optional rubber pads (if provided with your
speaker) on the rear of the speaker to protect the wall and the speaker as well as to provide extra
space in-between.
Hooking up the wires
The speaker terminal can accommodate up to 10 AWG bare speaker cables (up to 14 AWG in
selected models - consult your local TAGA Harmony dealer). It is recommended to leave about
150 cm (5 feet) of extra cable at the speaker end to facilitate positioning and installation of the
speaker. Depending on the model TAGA Harmony speaker terminals accept most popular types of
plugs (banana plugs, spades plugs etc.).
Do not use staples, nails or other metal objects to secure the speaker cables. You will get the best
sound quality and least amount of hum by keeping the speaker cables away from other electrical
wires and cables.
WARNING! During connecting the speakers make sure to power off your amplier(receiver) or
other source.
Note! Consult your local TAGA Harmony dealer for further information about speaker cables and
connection options.
The speakers utilize color coded terminals. The RED
coded terminal is + , the BLACK coded is terminal
is – : some terminals may have additional marking +
and –. Pay attention to connecting the polarity of the
speaker correctly with the amplier speaker output
terminals (connect RED + with RED + and BLACK –
with BLACK -). Please refer to your amplier(receiver)
instruction manual for more information. The most
common connection is shown in the left gure.
NOTE! Make sure to avoid short-circuit of RED(+) and
BLACK(-) speaker terminals – this may damage the

a stereo or home theater system.
Bi-wiring connection (selected speakers only)
The outer connection panel and internal dividing
network (crossover) are designed so that separate
sets of speaker cables can be attached to the low-
frequency driver and high-frequency driver portions
of this dividing network. This is called “bi-wiring”.
Bi-wiring can provide several sonic advantages
and considerably more exibility in power amplier
selection (Single-Stereo and Dual-Stereo).
• Loosen the terminals and remove the speaker
jumpers.
• Insert the speaker wire for the high frequencies
into the top set of terminals and tighten.
• Insert the speaker wire for the low frequencies into
the bottom set of terminals and tighten.
Single-Stereo Amplier
Speaker wire jumpers
Selected speaker models may be equipped
with separate speaker wire jumpers: 2 jumpers
(RED + and BLACK -) for each speaker.
If you want to use the bi-wiring connection you
do not have to install the jumpers.
If you want to use the standard connection,
install the jumpers as shown in the gure.
Insert the banana plugs in the upper terminals
– unscrew lower terminals, insert the spade
plugs and tighten the terminals.

Final adjustments
After you have your speakers positioned in the room, correctly connected and your audio system
properly set up, you can start doing nal adjustments.
Break-In
TAGA Harmony speakers sound great immediately after they are taken out of the carton.
Start listening to music at moderate volume levels to break in the speakers.
The speakers will sound even better after approximately 3-50 hours of play.
Sound
Start playing your favorite music or video. You should hear balanced audio reproduction across
the entire frequency spectrum. If otherwise then check all wiring connections or consult your local
TAGA Harmony dealer. In stereo systems the amount of bass and the stereo-image quality will be
affected by a number of different factors, including your room’s size and shape, and the position of
the speakers in the room. Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level. If there is
too much bass, move the speakers away from the nearby walls. If there is not enough bass move
the speakers closer to the nearby walls. For a better stereo image – experiment with positioning
speakers relative to each other and relative to your listening position.
