KVS Speakers  
Introduction  
Unpacking  
For your records  
Your Kenwood KVS speakers were  
designed to meet the demands of  
today’s high-quality music recordings  
and film soundtracks.  
Unpack your new speakers carefully  
and examine them for shipping  
damage. If they are damaged or fail  
to operate, notify your dealer imme-  
diately. If your speakers were  
shipped to you directly, notify the  
shipping company without delay.  
Only the person or company who  
originally received the unit can file a  
claim against the carrier for shipping  
damage. Keep the original carton  
and packing materials in case you  
need to transport or ship your  
speakers.  
Record the serial number (found on  
the back of the unit) on the  
warranty card, and in the space  
below. If you need to call your  
dealer for information or service,  
youll need the model and serial  
numbers. And be sure to save your  
original receipt.

About speaker wire  
We ask you to buy the wire sepa-  
rately, since we dont know how  
much wire you will need. We  
suggest that you buy wire that is at  
least 18-gauge or thicker.  
Remember, the smaller the number,  
the thicker the wire, so 18-gauge  
wire is thicker than 20-gauge wire.  
Installing the speakers isnt difficult,  
but please read and follow all of the  
instructions in this manual to get  
maximum performance from your  
new speakers. If youre also  
connecting other equipment, such  
as a receiver, power amplifier, or  
pre-amplifier, use this manual in  
combination with the materials that  
came with those components.  
Before you run out to buy speaker  
wire, read the section on Placing  
the speakers’ on page 3. Youll need  
to know where your speakers will  
go before you buy the speaker wire.  
 
For KVS-200 speakers, place the  
speakers near seated ear level. If  
you place them on shelves,  
putting them near the front edge  
of the shelf will help minimize  
reections that can interfere with  
the sound.  
For spade lugs (KVS-400 and  
KVS-300)  
1 Loosen the plastic caps on the  
speaker connectors.  
Placing the speakers  
Finding the best locations for your  
speakers before you connect them  
to your amplifier will make routing  
the wires easier.  
2 Insert the spade lugs around the  
posts. If the lug is too narrow,  
insert one prong through the  
hole in the post, making sure that  
the (+) and (-) prongs dont  
touch each other.  
Im portant  
Please wait until youve connected  
all of the cables before plugging the  
amplifier into the AC wall outlet  
and turning it on.  
For more bass output, place the  
speakers with their backs against  
a wall. The increase may be very  
slight or it may be more  
pronounced. If the speakers  
seem to make male voices sound  
unnaturally heavy, or chesty, try  
moving the speakers 1 or 2 feet  
away from the wall.  
For the best stereo effect, place  
the speakers 6 ft to 12 ft apart  
along the same wall, with the  
main listening area midway  
between the 2 speakers.  
3 Tighten the caps.  
For banana or dual-banana  
connectors (KVS-400 and  
KVS-300)  
1 Tighten the plastic caps on the  
speaker connectors.  
• Placing the speakers in corners  
will provide maximum bass  
output.  
• Placing the speakers in opposite  
corners of a room does not  
produce a stereo effect.  
• Since these speakers are magnet-  
ically shielded, you can place  
them close to your TV without  
worrying about picture discol-  
oration. For best sound with  
video, place the speakers  
Rotate each speaker slightly  
toward the center of the listening  
area—this can improve the  
stereo effect, especially if the  
speakers are more than 8 feet  
apart.  
2 Insert the banana connectors all  
the way into the holes in the  
center of the caps.  
Im portant  
between 2 and 4 feet away from  
the sides of the TV.  
Make sure your receiver or  
amplifiers power cord is  
unplugged from the wall outlet  
before making any connec-  
tions.  
Preparing and  
connecting the  
speaker wire  
Make sure you connect the  
positive connections of the  
speakers to the positive  
connections of the receiver or  
amplifier, and the negative  
connections of the speakers to  
the negative connections of  
the receiver or amplifier. If  
these connections are  
For bare wire  
1 Strip 1/2” of the plastic cover  
from the ends of the wire.  
2 Twist the wire to get rid of the  
loose strands.  
mismatched, youll get poor  
bass performance and weak  
sound-placement characteris-  
tics.  
• Check to make sure that no  
strands from one terminal  
touch any other terminal.
