Introduction
The anticipation is over and I sincerely appreciate
your patience. You and I share a passion for high
fidelity; we love music and we strive to perfect its
reproduction: they call us “Audiophiles.” I just couldn’t
let this fascination of mine make its way to the sales
floor without sweating the details from every angle
possible. This “labor of love” took me a few years, and
it was worth the wait.
Over the years, many of you have provided us with design
requirements, new product development ideas and
tremendous feedback that helped us to improved our
products. We are very grateful for your support and
feedback.
From all of us here at Earthquake Sound Corporation:
Thank you.
Ladies & Gentlemen, I present to you the Tigris
Towers, part of the Titan Series. Many sleepless
nights have brought the perfect sound reproduction
machine toa reality.

Unpacking system components
• Keep the original carton and packing materials for future
shipment or storage.
• Check for any visual signs of damage. If you encounter any
concealed damage, consult your Earthquake Sound dealer
before proceeding with unit installation.
• Retain the sales receipt as it established the duration of the
limited warranty and provided information for insurance
purposes.
System installation considerations
There are several factors to consider before installing the Earthquake
Sound Telesto Towers.
• What are the intended listening zones?
• What system options and accessories might be required for
features such as local sources, etc.?
• From where in each zone will the listener prefer to control the
system? Where will the remote gains be located? Where will the
speakers be located?
• Where will the source equipment be located?
Connection tips
• Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent
humming from induced noise.
• Choose reliable signal cables cords (Earthquake Sound also
specializes in high-performance RCA cables and patches).
• All speaker wires that are ran through the walls should be twisted
type to reduce potential hum noise pick up.
• Label both ends of all wires with the corresponding room
location.
• It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to power the
amplifier. Lack of input ground reference could be unsafe.
Consult with your electrical contractor about proper grounding.
