Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Krypton Audio Micro Advance Transmission Line speaker system. This
speaker system uses the finest quality of components and cabinet materials, and high quality drivers to
enhance your music listening experience. We recommend you to read the below instructions before
you start using the speaker system with your Audio Amplifier.
Important Notes
Follow this manual carefully for best result from your speakers
Clean with a dry lint free cloth
Do not use spirit based cleaners
Avoid damp
Avoid temperature extremes
Avoid direct sunlight
Safety precaution: Trailing cables are dangerous, secure all cables
Connections
Always follow all the recommended instruction from your amplifier model before connecting
and using the speakers.
Connect the Red terminal (+) from your amplifier to the Red terminal (+) of the speaker system
and the Black terminal (-) from your amplifier to the Black terminal (-) of the speaker system for
correct system phasing. If this is interchanged this could cause out of phase signal conditions.
Safe Usage
Always keep the volume levels of the amplifier from low to medium to high after switching on,
and while switching off the amplifier always reduce the volume levels in your amplifier.
Do not give a sudden jerk of amplified sound to the speakers else this would cause severe
damage to the drivers beyond repair. This is applicable from steady state conditions.

Speaker Placement
Install the speakers on speaker stands or on a wall unit top.
The speakers should be placed at least 2 feet away from the side walls and about 4 feet away
from the rear walls. In case there is a loss of low frequency then the speakers can be kept 2 feet
away from the rear wall and about 1 feet away from the side walls to increase low frequency
response.
The left and right speakers should be at least 6 feet apart for good stereo imaging and channel
separation.
Ideally these speakers do not require any toeing as they are optimized for off-axis listening. If at
all required the speakers can be slightly towed in about 5 degrees to 10 degrees inwards for
correct imaging and foot print.
Do not obstruct the sound waves from your speakers by keeping an obstacle in between them.
The left and right speakers should have similar kind of furniture placement around them to
mirror each other for proper dispersion and diffraction of sound waves.
Always listen to the speakers seated on a sofa / chair approximately at the center for proper
stereo imaging. The speakers are designed to have similar on and off axis response due to
meticulous selection of the drivers / enclosures and compensation network, and should have
even dispersion in most of the seating positions.
Have floors covered with thick carpet if possible to keep floor reflections to the minimum.
Have heavy draped curtains on the windows to keep reflections from the rare and side walls to
the minimum.
Do not have heavy metal objects and glass, ceramic artifacts near the speakers so as to reflect
/deflect the sound waves causing uneven wave fronts.
Experiment and try out the best seating / speaker placements at your room for optimum sound
quality.

Optimum speaker placement for the micro-TL speakers in your room for balanced performance
Fig: Optimum speaker placement for your room. The above placement ideally gives the correct balance
of lows, mid-range and high frequency response. You can toe-in the speaker by 5 degrees to 10 degrees
to get the correct center imaging so that the speaker completely disappears in your listening room. The
speakers have been optimized for off-axis listening and in most cases do not require any toeing.
