Placement

All loudspeakers interact with the environment in which they are placed. Loudspeaker

performance is influenced by the size, shape, and contents of the listening room as

well as the placement of the loudspeaker within the room.

A Resolution Series loudspeaker is simple to set up and use, and is engineered to

perform well in a wide variety of listening environments. The closer a loudspeaker

is to the rear wall, the more pronounced the bass response. To minimize unwanted

reflected sound and maximize the width and depth of the soundstage, be careful

not to set the loudspeaker too close to the side walls. Krell encourages you to

experiment and find the placement that reflects your personal preference.

When the loudspeaker is in position in the listening area, you are ready to attach

the loudspeaker grille. 

Attach the Loudspeaker Grille

Attach the grille to the loudspeaker before you play music. Each Resolution Series

loudspeaker is equipped with a snap-on grille, which consists of grille cord (3)

strung between two metal grille blocks (1). This grille is shipped in the accessory

box marked “grille”.

1.

Grasp the grille blocks on each end of the grille and lift the grille out of the grille

box. 

On the Resolution 1, 2, and 3 loudspeakers, position the grille block with the

Krell logo (2) on the bottom front of the loudspeaker. 

On the Resolution C loudspeaker, place one grille block on the left front of the

loudspeaker. 

2.

Gently guide the grille locator pins (4) into the two grille holes (14) on the bottom

front of the loudspeaker. 

On the Resolution C, guide the grille locator pins into the two grille holes on the

left front of the loudspeaker.
