USER MANUAL
KIN IN-WALL / IN-CEILING
High performance holograhic architectural speakers
KIN IN-WALL - KIN SIDE/CENTER - KIN ANGLED IN-CEILING
Thank you for choosing the Totem Acoustic KIN Architectural series. Please take the time to fully read this
manual prior to beginning set-up. The manual will clearly guide you to achieve the best possible sound
that these newly acquired Totem speakers are capable of providing. If you have further questions, contact
your Totem Authorized Dealer.
Beyond sonic performance, Totem has placed tremendous consideration to the home integrator. New
construction or retro-fit, the KIN Architectural speakers incorporate one of the shallowest closed box
designs. Accompanied by a “completely flat” paintable magnetic grill, the mounting system allows for
remarkable flexibility. Built with precision, the KIN Architectural speakers feature a fully back-boxed design
and extruded aluminum frame for added rigidity.
For further assistance contact our tech support at info@totemacoustic.com.

Totem Acoustic keeps to a strict quality control regimen and all factory-sealed products leave our facility
in perfect condition. If there are any damages visible or concealed they have occurred in handling and
must be reported immediately to your Totem Authorized Dealer.
Carefully remove the speaker(s) from the box(es); take caution as the size often deceives the actual weight.

handy for future upgrades.
