KYTE
ASSEMBLY
Included with your KYTEs are two rear feet and four Pozi 2 screws. These are
required to install the rear foot on each speaker (you will need a PZ2/Pozi 2
screwdriver). Simply
hand tighten two screws through each of the feet into the corresponding
threaded holes on the back of the speaker (as shown in the diagram). To ensure
the foot is aligned correctly, place the speaker with the foot attached on a
flat surface before fully tightening to ensure the speaker will sit level in
its final position.
IMPORTANT: NEVER place the speaker face down when fitting the feet to
avoid damage to the drive units.
An optional metal base is available for purchase, which will offer greater
compatibility with a wide range of third-party loudspeaker stands (see
www.rega.co.uk for details).
CONNECTION
Ensure the colour terminals Red (+) and Black (-) are connected to the correct terminals at both loudspeaker and amplifier binding posts. We recommend using good quality loudspeaker cable such as the Rega ‘Duet’. Always use the same length speaker cable to each loudspeaker
POSITIONING
The KYTEs can be used on stands, a sturdy shelf, or flat surfaces. Imaging and bass response can be tuned by adjusting the distance of the speaker from the rear and sidewalls. As with all loudspeakers, this will be dependant on the size of the room, flooring, and furnishings therefore some simple experiments trying different distances will help optimize the performance to your surroundings. In general, more bass is produced if the cabinet is positioned closer to a structural wall.
REPLACING THE DRIVE UNITS
In the unlikely event, a drive unit needs to be replaced it is necessary to
remove the front fascia label to access the drive unit fixing screws. A new
adhesive front panel label will
be supplied as standard with any replacement units. To remove the front panel
label, we recommend accessing via the unit that requires replacement to
prevent damage to the phenolic cabinet. We recommend that any servicing is
carried out via your Rega dealer.
