As a complete home theater package, the HKTS 9 has everything you need - including satellite bases, wall-mounting hardware and all necessary cables - in one box. And by including removable shelf-mount stands and wall-mount brackets for the satellite and center speakers, the system offers you great flexibility for installing the speakers in different locations.
The HKTS 9 system's five voice-matched satellite speakers with 3-inch (75-millimeter) midrange drivers and 1/2-inch (13 millimeter) high-frequency tweeters are engineered to work together to produce a rich, realistic, all-encompassing sonic performance with convincing sound effects. You can even place these video-shielded speakers near your TV without causing magnetic interference.
The HKTS 9's 200-watt down-firing subwoofer with an 8-inch (200-millimeter) driver offers deep, authoritative low-frequency realism that lends a richness and believability to whatever imagery you're seeing on screen - while remaining surprisingly unimposing off screen. While viewing an action film, you hear every crash, bang and boom the soundtrack has to offer.
The HKTS 9 system represents a decor-friendly complement to any entertainment center or home theater. Its contemporary styling incorporates glossy, black accents, polished surfaces and elegant symmetry - elements that are clearly part of the rich Harman Kardon(R) design heritage. The system's compact, unobtrusive dimensions offer virtually unlimited installation options.
Controls on the HKTS 9's 200-watt subwoofer let you fine-tune its bass output for your personal taste and room acoustics. Bass-boost and phase switches also allow you to optimize the subwoofer's performance, depending upon where you place the speakers. A subwoofer properly in phase with the satellite speakers generates clear, and lifelike sounds for instruments such as drums, piano and plucked strings.
Unshielded loudspeaker components can upset the magnetic field in a conventional TV, resulting in visible color shifts and possible long-term damage. But the HKTS 9's magnetically shielded loudspeaker components can deliver high-quality, high-performance results even when you place them near a TV.
If you want to move beyond the all-encompassing power of this 5.1-channel surround-sound system, you can easily add a pair of front-height or rear-channel surround loudspeakers - and hence unleash the 7.1-channel capability of your HKTS 9 system. The 7.1 surround-sound format elevates the impact of your entertainment experience with a richer, more thorough soundstage.
The Harman Kardon HKTS 9 speaker package is compact enough to fit comfortably in even modest-sized rooms, but it delivers the kind of highimpact, 5.1-channel sound that you associate with your favourite cineplex. Engineered for optimal performance, the dual midrange centre speaker, powerful satellites and down-firing, 200-watt powered subwoofer work together to envelop you in a realistic, 360-degree soundscape that includes plenty of deep, satisfying bass. With all the colour-coded wiring and wall brackets you'll need for virtually any installation, the HKTS 9 takes the complexity and guesswork out of the home theatre equation.
