configuration you will need one amplifier channel for each drive unit in the speakers and a suitable, Kudos approved, active crossover. *Incorrect connection may result in serious damage to your electronics or loudspeakers. Kudos loudspeakers have been designed to work in a wide range of rooms and should be easy to site. As a general guide they should be placed 2m apart and at least the same distance from the main listening position. The Titan 606 and 707 are ported into the Fixed Boundary Gap between the cabinet and the plinth to minimise the effects of the room. However in most circumstances we would recommend if possible that the cabinets are placed at least 45cm away from side walls. Moving a loudspeaker closer to the front wall may increase bass response, but may cause colouration and unevenness in the mid-band. Experiment by listening to ascertain the best balance. Providing that you do not run your amplifier into “clipping” (sounding distorted or strained) your Kudos loudspeakers should handle the power from most amplifiers in a domestic setting. As a rough guide we recommend amplifiers with a power rating of between 25 and 250 watts per channel. Remember you are much more likely to damage your drive units by using an underpowered amplifier than an overpowered one. For further information contact your retailer or distributor or visit. kudosaudio.com/upgrade-to-active All loudspeakers require a running in period and we would recommend you do not decide upon the final positioning until your loudspeakers have had at least 100 hours of use. Once you have become more familiar with your new loudspeakers a degree of experimentation with their placement can bring about significant improvements. Your loudspeakers will not be fully run in until they have had approximately 300 hours of use, but changes will be smaller and more subtle as use increases. RUNNING IN POWER HANDLING 25-250 WATTS Loudspeakers are inherently reliable and require little maintenance. The cabinets are finished in real wood veneers and can be cleaned with a lightly damp lint free cloth. We do not recommend the use of anything else on the cabinets. Please note that the wood veneers will mature and darken with time.

WOODEN FLOOR CARPETED FLOOR PASSIVE WIRING ACTIVE WIRING The Titan loudspeakers can be either passively or actively driven. In a passive system use the single pair of 4mm sockets observing correct polarity. In a passive system the output from a power amplifier is passed through the crossover housed inside the loudspeakers. All Titan loudspeakers are configured from the factory for passive operation. To maintain correct polarity make sure to connect the red “+” amplifier connection to the corresponding red “+” passive input speaker connection and the black “-” amplifier connection to the corresponding black “-” passive input speaker connection. The Titan 505 loudspeakers should be used on a good quality medium to high mass stands available from all good hifi dealers. We recommend our dedicated Titan 505 stand for the ultimate performance. The Titan 606 and 707 loudspeakers come with a stabilising and port optimising plinth fitted. The supplied spikes should be used at all times. Carefully locate the spikes and locknuts into the plinth taking care not to crossthread. If you have a wooden or laminate floor your dealer should be able to supply floor protectors to avoid spike damage. For optimal performance the speaker should be solidly spiked to the floor with no rocking movement in any direction.
