Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (such as the Kramer BC-2S) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality
Position your Kramer Tavor 5-O away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
- This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
- Do not open the housing of the speaker; doing so may reduce the quality of the sound.

Overview

The Tavor 5-O is a powered two-way speaker system designed for indoor wall mounting. The system accepts a line level stereo input and amplifies it using a built-in amplifier and outputs a speaker signal to the passive speaker.

The Tavor 5-O speaker system features:

Three available inputs (that can either be connected separately or connected simultaneously to form a mix of the inputs) that consist of:
- A Line level unbalanced stereo audio input on a 3.5mm mini jack connector
- A balanced stereo audio input on a 5-pin terminal block connector
- An unbalanced stereo audio input on two RCA connectors
An output to external amplified or non-amplified speakers
An output to an external sub-woofer
A unique looping output, letting you chain additional pairs of active and passive speakers
TREBLE, BASS and VOLUME control knobs
A control panel on the back of the active speaker that controls all the functions of both speakers
A magnetic shield
Enhanced bass reflex design
An integrated 2x30W stereo amplifier (no external amplifier required)
A self-adjusting power range of 90 to 240V AC
Auto-power shutoff

The Tavor 5-O is enclosed in an ABS cabinet and can be mounted indoors on the wall, vertically or horizontally. The mounting brackets are made of hardened steel that attach to each speaker, letting you rotate each speaker to the left or right.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show examples of how the speakers can be installed in conference room and home theater setups, respectively.
