How to connect the speaker cables?

Loosen the terminal, insert the stripped wire, then tighten. Be sure to observe polarities (+ and -) and avoid short-circuiting the wires. You can also use banana plugs.

What is the frequency response of this speaker?

The frequency response is 60 Hz to 100 kHz, allowing it to reproduce both deep bass and extended highs.

Can I use this speaker as a surround speaker?

Installation Locations

Positioning For Optimal Surround Sound

Use this speaker system as the center speaker. Other speakers are to be purchased separately.

• Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.
• Place the center speaker on the center between the front left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or downward so that it is directly facing the listening area.
• The subwoofer's deep-bass reproduction characteristics are richest when the subwoofer is installed in a corner or near a wall.
• Place the surround speakers straight to or diagonally behind the left and right of the listening position.
• Place the surround back speaker behind the listening position, at the same height as the left and right surround speakers.

About Using Speaker Near a TV

This center speaker include magnetic shielding and can therefore be installed close to a TV set. Note, however, that placing the speaker too close to a CRT type TV may in some cases produce distortion in the color reception. In such case, turn on the TV and check that color reproduction is normal. If color is distorted, turn the TV off for 15 to 30 minutes, then turn it back on and check again. (This allows the TV's degaussing circuitry to correct for the magnetic field from the speaker.) If distortion is still present, move the speaker further from the TV.

On Floor or Shelf

Place the speaker on the floor or on a shelf or other horizontal stable surface. Keep in mind that speaker is not fixed into place, so be careful to avoid knocking it over.

- Attach four cushions to the base of the speaker, one at each corner. The cushions prevent the speaker from sliding, and dampen its vibrations.

On the Wall

This speaker include mount hole for wall mounting. You need to set two screws into the wall at the appropriate distance so that you can hang the speaker from both mount holes. Proceed as follows.

7 Screw two screws into the walls 300 mm (11-13/16 inches) apart, making sure that screws are horizontally level. Screw each screw only part way in, so that the screw projects 9 to 11 mm (3/8 to 7/16 inches) outward from the wall surface.

• Wall screws must be purchased separately.

2 Hang the speaker by fitting the two mount holes (at the rear of the speaker) over the extending part of the screw. Confirm that the speaker is held firmly and securely in place.

- Attach each couple of provided cushions to make two sets of two-cushion piles, and attach them to the two positions shown on the rear of the speaker. These piles will protect the speaker body from damage and prevent the vibrations of the speaker body from being transmitted to the wall.

Precautions

Please observe the following precautions when mounting speaker onto the wall.

• Be sure that the wall you are using is strong enough to support the full weight of the speaker (approx. 3.0 kg [6.6 lb]).
  • Wall screws must be purchased separately.
• Be sure to use screws that are appropriate for the wall you are using, and that are long enough to provide sufficient strength.
• If you are uncertain about the wall's support strength, the type of screw to use, or any other points regarding this type of installation, please consult a contractor or other qualified person before proceeding.

Be sure to follow the procedure given here when carrying out installation. Kenwood can assume no liability for injury or damage that may occur if a speaker setup falls from the wall as a result of incorrect installation or insufficient support strength.

Note on connection

1. Be sure to turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting speaker.
2. This speaker system has a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. To ensure safe and reliable operation, be sure that your amplifier or receiver (audio video control center) is able to work with 8-ohm speaker.
3. Never short the (+) and (−) speaker wire's conductors together.
4. Do not reverse (+) and (−) connections. Reversal of polarities may result in unnatural sound.

① Loosen

② Insert the conductor

③ Secure
