Description and Features
The HKTS 60 is a complete six-piece home theater speaker system that includes:
An 8-inch, 200-watt powered subwoofer
t
Four identical two-way video-shielded dual-driver satellite speakers for the left and
t
right front, and left and right rear (surround) speaker positions
A dedicated, voice-matched, video-shielded, dual-driver center speaker
t
Removable bases and wall-mount brackets for the satellite speakers and a wall-
t
mount bracket for the center speaker
All of the cables you need to connect all of the speakers to your receiver or preamp/
t
processor and amplifier.
The speaker cables all use a color-coding system to conform to the Consumer Electronics
Association (CEA) standard. This color-coding system minimizes confusion when
connecting the speakers, especially when you are connecting them to a Harman Kardon
receiver.
The HKTS200SUB subwoofer is equipped with a special LFE input that simplifies
connection to receivers and preamp/processors with dedicated subwoofer outputs that
carry low-frequency signals. Other conveniences include a level control, a phase switch for
fine-tuning bass response to suit your listening environment and taste, and an efficient
switching system that senses the presence of an audio signal and automatically switches
the subwoofer from standby mode to on.
Wall-mount brackets are included for the satellite and center speakers, and shelf stands
are included for the satellite speakers. Optional HKFS3 floorstands are available separately
from your Harman Kardon dealer. Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver fifty
years ago. With state-of-the-art features and time-honored circuit designs, the HKTS 60 is
a perfect complement to a Harman Kardon receiver, or any home theater system.
