Introduction: 

harman/kardon HK695 Audio System System

The HK695 Audio System 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  HK695 Audio System.

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 HK695 
Audio System. 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

 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.
