Description and Features
The HKTS 2 is a six-piece home theater speaker system that includes a 10-inch,
100-watt bass-reflex powered subwoofer; four identical 2-way, sealed enclosure satel- lite speakers for use in the left and right front and rear speaker positions; a dedicat- ed, tandem-midrange center speaker; wall- mount brackets for the four satellites; and all of the speaker cables you need to connect your speakers to your receiver or preamp/processor and amplifier.
The HKTS 2 subwoofer is equipped with speaker-level inputs and outputs, line-level inputs, a special subwoofer input for use with equipment that furnishes a pre-filtered subwoofer output, a level control, and an efficient switching system that senses the presence of an audio signal and automati- cally switches the unit from standby mode to play mode.
Although wall-mount brackets are included for the satellite speakers, Harman Kardon also offers optional stands, model FSTS 1, which can be ordered through your dealer.
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver more than forty-seven years ago.
With state-of-the-art features and time- honored circuit designs, the HKTS 2 is a perfect complement to a Harman Kardon receiver, and is one of the finest products ever offered by Harman Kardon.
