Introduction

The HK 695 is the latest innovation from harman/kardon, a long time leader in the manufacture of high-end component and computer audio systems. harman/kardon's audio heritage combined with continual research has provided the unique technologies included in the HK 695.

These technologies include Vmax, a Harman International audio image-processing algorithm that seamlessly supports both two and four channel sound cards. This audio hologram creates a four speaker sound field from two speakers through the use of a head related transfer function when used with a four channel sound card. In addition, the algorithm provides enhanced stereo when used with a two channel sound card.

The Harman Multimedia Odyssey I transducer is another technology critical to the HK 695. This unique full range transducer was designed specifically for extremely small speaker enclosures while providing significant mid bass. In addition to the bass, the small, rigid and light inverted aluminum cone provides performance that will rival any tweeter used in multimedia speakers today. The result is a small and elegant satellite speaker that perfectly integrates with the subwoofer while providing superior midrange and highs.

The Magnum series subwoofer transducer provides deep bass. This Magnum series of woofers are designed specifically to match with the Harman Multimedia Odyssey I transducers. The same approach of providing solid bass from a small enclosure guided the development of these Magnum transducers.

As described in the Using the speaker system section of the user's guide, the top of the control/right speaker features - and + buttons. Briefly pressing the appropriate button will cause a small step increase or decrease in the system volume. Holding down the appropriate button for more than 0.5 seconds will cause the volume to decrease or decrease rapidly while that button is held down.

Treble, Bass and Surround level adjust knobs are located on top of the subwoofer unit. A system on/off switch is also provided on the rear of the subwoofer unit. The system includes two desktop speakers and a subwoofer that can be placed either on the floor or on your desk. Both satellite speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically shielded to provide the greatest protection against computer monitor image distortion.

Setup

Carefully unpack your speaker system and identify all components:

• Control/Right Satellite speaker
• Auxiliary/Left Satellite speaker
- Subwoofer with attached power and audio input cables

Connect the speaker system as shown in the Connecting the speaker system to sound card illustrations. Once the speaker system is properly connected, turn on the power switch located on the rear of the subwoofer.

Step 1 Connecting the speaker system to the computer. If you have an integrated sound solution or a stereo sound card (as shown on page 4 and 5); connect the green connector from the subwoofer into the green jack on the computer, the black connector is not used, leave the rubber cap on the black connector to prevent static from the pin grounding on the system. If you have a multi-channel sound card (as shown on page 6); connect the green connector from the subwoofer into the green jack on the computer and connect the black connector from the speaker into the black jack on the computer. If you have a portable computer (as shown on page 7); connect the green connector from the subwoofer into the headphone jack on the computer, the black connector is not used, leave the rubber cap on the black connector to prevent static from the pin grounding on the system.

Step 2 Plug the orange connector from the right/control satellite into the orange jack on the subwoofer.

Step 3 Plug the brown connector from the left satellite into the brown jack on the subwoofer.

Step 4 Plug the AC plug into the wall outlet.

Step 5 Turn on the speaker set and adjust the volume accordingly.

Placement of speakers

The speakers are magnetically shielded and can be placed close to a computer monitor without distorting the image. For optimal stereo imaging, separate the speakers from each other by a distance equal to your distance from the speakers.

The subwoofer's sound is non-directional; therefore, it does not have to be placed in any particular relationship to the satellites. The subwoofer is magnetically shielded and can be placed on the desktop, if desired. If the subwoofer is placed too close to a computer monitor it can cause vibration on the monitor screen.

Using the speaker system

On/Off Switch

Illustration of a portable electronic device with an open dialog box (no text or symbols on the device itself)

An on/off switch is located on the rear of the subwoofer.

There is a green LED located on top of each of the two satellite speakers. There is also a green LED located on the top of the subwoofer. All three LEDs should illuminate when the system is connected correctly and receiving power.

Turn the speaker off if it will not be used for a long period.

Volume Control

The volume control can be found on the top of the control/right satellite speaker.

Pushing the right + button on the top of this speaker will turn up the volume setting in increments of 2.0 dB per step. If the button is continuously depressed, after 0.5 seconds the volume level will constantly increase at a rate of 20 dB per second.

Pushing the left - button on the top of the right speaker will turn down the volume setting in increments of 2.0 dB per step. If the button is continuously depressed, after 0.5 seconds the volume level will constantly decrease at a rate of 20 dB per second until the system is muted.

The harman/kardon HK 695 will retain the volume setting when it is turned off so that when the speaker system is turned back on, it will restore the last volume setting.

Muting

Pushing the left and right buttons simultaneously on the top of the right speaker will mute the audio. Power will remain on (both speakers' LED's remain illuminated). When muted, pushing either the left button or the right button, or both buttons simultaneously will restore volume to the level prior to the activation of the mute function.

Controls on the Subwoofer

There are three tone and effects level knobs located on the top of the subwoofer. They control Bass, Treble and Surround.

Bass - Turn the knob marked Bass clockwise to increase the subwoofer level or counterclockwise to decrease the subwoofer level.

Treble - Turn the knob marked Treble clockwise to increase the treble level or counterclockwise to decrease the treble level.

Surround - Turn the knob marked Surround clockwise to increase the surround level or counterclockwise to decrease the surround level. Turning this knob all the way counterclockwise will defeat the surround mode.

Diagnostics

Two identical 3D illustrations of a portable electronic device with attached cables and connectors, no text or symbols present.

In order to facilitate optimal system setup, a diagnostic system has been built in to the harman/kardon HK 695. If you are having trouble getting sound out of your system, or are not confident that your setup is optimal, use these system diagnostics to configure your harman/kardon HK 695.

Disconnect all speaker cables from the sound card. To test the front speaker channel, plug the green connector into the diagnostic jack on the rear of the subwoofer. This will generate a test tone. This tone will sweep from 40Hz to 400Hz. As the frequency of the tone increases, the sound will transition from the Subwoofer to the satellites, then start over again.

The diagnostic test can also be used to test the rear speaker channel input by plugging in the black connector into the diagnostic jack on the rear of the subwoofer. The surround level may need to be adjusted. (Test tone may sound different due to the surround characteristics of speaker system).

When you have finished the test, unplug the connector from the 'DIAG' jack and plug the audio connector back into the correct soundcard output jack. Review the user setup if necessary on pages 3 thru 7.

While the speaker system is in the diagnostic mode, the + and - controls will control the volume of the diagnostics tone.

If the test tone was heard from all speakers, your HK 695 is working correctly. If not, see the troubleshooting section for detailed troubleshooting techniques.
