PREFACE
Thank you for selecting a Project K2 S5800 loudspeaker system. It represents the sum total of our research and developmental efforts in sound reproduction over the last half century. We have labored to create a loudspeaker system with no acoustical or elec- trical limitations whatsoever. While the Project K2 S5800 loudspeaker is itself a new development, the goal behind it goes right back to the earliest days of the original James B. Lansing Sound Company.
But it is your listening pleasure that ultimately determines how success- ful we are in this endeavor. It is solely in the interest of ensuring a perfect listening experience that we ask you to faithfully follow the setup and operation procedures outlined in this owner’s guide.
This guide exists for several purposes. As your owner’s manual, it contains all necessary back- ground information and detailed instructions for setting up your Project K2 S5800 loudspeaker system, including unpacking the loudspeaker, selecting the correct location, speaker wire, wiring scheme and amplification, and connecting it to its associated electronics. This information will be found in Chapters 3 through 7. In addition, we have included a detailed description of Project
K2 S5800 loudspeakers (Chapter 2) so that you may become thoroughly acquainted with its unique design and technological features.
Although physically and materially imposing, the setup procedure of the Project K2 S5800 loudspeaker system is relatively simple. We strongly urge you to read this manual thoroughly before you begin, and consult it frequently throughout the process. Considerations must be made in placing the speakers; their stature makes it imperative that you become familiar with the entire setup process in advance.
Also, we believe that the historical and technical information included will add immeasurably to your total enjoyment of the loudspeaker system. Project K2 S5800 is unpar- alleled in the field of sound repro- duction. The story and principles behind it are an interesting, inform- ative and fitting precursor to a life- time of musical enjoyment.
