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.  
Joseph J. Sahyoun  
President & Chief Engineer  
Earthquake Sound Corporation was founded in 1984 by Joseph J. Sahyoun, a  
brilliant engineer and a well-respected researcher/developer of audio technologies.  
Mr. Sahyoun's infatuation with audio, his relentless pursuit of perfection, and his  
love for music drove him to excel Earthquake Sound as a leader in this industry.  
Hence the hi-fi speakers: TITAN towers a.k.a.Tigris.

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.
