Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing TAGA Harmony Speakers.

TAGA Harmony speakers are the ideal solution for outdoor (selected models – check specifications) and indoor sound systems.

They provide clean, natural, dynamic and powerful sound performance.

Most models are weather, UV and water resistant.

Mounting brackets (selected models) make installation very easy as well as speakers can be mounted horizontally and vertically.

The SM (stereo / mono) models ensure high quality, dual-channel sound from a single speaker. The SM models can provide much wider dispersion than traditional speakers as well as eliminate sound imbalances which can be heard once listeners move around the area.

This instruction manual provides all of the information that you need to know about your TAGA Harmony speakers. Please read it carefully before you start using the unit.

Cleaning

Do not use strong or abrasive cleaners. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.

PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION AND KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

• If not clearly specified otherwise in the product specifications (available on the www.Tagaharmony.com website), this speaker is intended for indoor use only.
• Please do not dismantle any parts of the speaker as this may void your warranty – servicing should be performed only by a qualified TAGA Harmony repair center.
• When connecting the speaker make sure to power off your audio equipment (amplifier, power mixer, sound processor etc.).
• Make sure that all connections are done according to this manual and a manual provided with your audio equipment.
• Make sure that your audio equipment output power are compatible with this speaker. Using unsuitable audio equipment may damage the speaker and / or audio equipment and void your warranty.
• The speaker may be damaged by too high output power as well as by an underpowered output signal [distortion of sound].
• Do not use very high-volume levels for a long period of time – this may damage the speaker and void your warranty.
• When switching on and off your audio equipment, turn down the volume to avoid strong electrical impact to be delivered to the speaker.
• Position the speaker in ventilated and dry atmosphere and do not expose it to sun or other heat sources (does not apply to outdoor speakers).
  • Install the loudspeaker on a stable and hard surface.
• We recommend having a licensed professional engineer or designer reviewed the design and installation of the system focusing on safety and performance of the application.
• To protect the drivers do not remove the protective grille (if provided).

If your installation requires additional safety precautions (for instance in regions at risk of earthquakes), to prevent the speaker from falling off the installation surface, we recommend to additionally anchor it to the wall or other permanent construction (using anchoring accessories such as a steel cable, etc.)

Note! Anchoring accessories must to be purchased separately and are not delivered with the speaker.

PACKAGING WARNING

The packaging may contain elements such as plastic, that should be kept away from small children.

The thin foil or small elements can stick to the nose and mouth, or may be swallowed and prevent breathing.

Speaker Placement

Please spend some time considering placement prior to installing the speaker. Once it is installed, it is not to be easily moved or repositioned. Each room has its specific acoustics but there are some general rules:

LOCATION

TAGA Harmony speakers can be installed almost anywhere thanks to their unique sound characteristic which is strong and powerful, and has a wide dispersion field.

All TOS speakers are equipped with regulated U mounting brackets. Some TOS models have an option to use other mounting brackets, which are not included with the speakers (check this option with your local dealer).

GENERAL NOTES

On-wall On-ceiling (not applicable for TOW Series)
Placing the speakers near a corner will tend to increase their bass output, but may result in “boomy” or “muddy” sound.	Corner placement close to the walls provides a good balance of bass output and accuracy.
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 reflect sound (like tall furniture).
To add extra bass and definition to your system we recommend TAGA Harmony Custom Installations or traditional subwoofers.

All speakers except Stereo/Mono

Position one tweeter of each speaker towards the front side of the room and the other tweeter towards the back side.

Hooking Up the Wires

The speaker terminal can accommodate up to 10 AWG speaker cables (selected models only - others up to 14 AWG). 10 or 14 AWG speaker cables are recommended for longer connections (greater than 20 meters / 66 feet)). For shorter lengths you can use 16 or 18 AWG speaker cables. 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. 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.

Pay attention to connecting the polarity of the speaker correctly with the amplifier speakers output terminals (RED + with RED +, BLACK - with BLACK -). Before connecting the speaker make sure that your amplifier is switched off. Please refer to your amplifier's instruction manual for more information.

Check whether your amplifier may work with impedance of your TAGA Harmony speaker. Otherwise you may burn the amplifier and damage the speakers - it may void your warranty.
