KIN Architectural
MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO / HOME THEATER APPLICATIONS
In a 5.1 set up, the Left, Center, and Right should be along the same plane with the Left and
Right Surround in back and adjacent to the sitting area.
In a 7.1 set up, the Left, Center, and Right should be along the same plane with the Left and
Right Surround parallel to the listening area, and the Surround channels in back and adjacent
to the sitting area.
If using in-wall speakers, the spacing is accurate, but the speakers would be installed in the
wall. In the case of the 7.1 system, the rear speakers can also be installed into the rear wall.
True to both Totem and Kin heritage, all models possess our characteristic phase linearity for
uncanny realism, a full range response for truly dynamic performance, and remarkably huge
dispersion that facilitates placement and fills the room. They can also intermix harmoniously
with any existing traditional, on-wall, or architectural Totem speaker for a variety of multi-
channel options. For example, if you are using TRIBE On-Wall speakers for your front three
channels you can seamlessly blend Kin Architectural for your rear speakers.

Positioning the Angled In-Ceiling Speaker
The KIN AIC is composed of three active drivers on one
portion of the angled baffle, and two passives on the other.
The active drivers should be directed towards the listening
area for the most direct signal and best overall performance.
This generally means the portion with active drivers are
positioned closest to the wall and angled towards the
listening area. The passives are positioned closer to the
listening area with the drivers towards the wall.
