Congratulations. You are now the owner of the most advanced and versatile stereo music system ever designed for home use. It combines superb styling with a performance level never before achieved in a single stereo unit. Some time ago, Harman-Kardon, set for itself the task of developing an all-in-one music system which would vie with individual components in performance, yet provide ease and convenience of installation and operation. You now can enjoy the results of this effort- the Festival Music System. The all new Festival 3 control center is equipped with a stereo preamplifier designed for low noise and high gain, a powerful wide-band stereo amplifier, an AM/FM stereo tuner for startingly clear reception and unique electro-mechanical automatic tuning. Because cool-operating transistors are used throughout, your Festival may be placed virtually anywhere . . . guided only by decor considerations . . . without the need for special installation precautions. The all new Harman-Kardon Festival speaker systems are artfully engineered to dramatically fulfill the extraordinary promise of the Festival control center. The moment your set is switched on, these speaker systems will fill your room with the magnificent sound characteristic of the original performance. They are designed to add no character of their own. All you hear is the superlative definition of the original instruments. Your speakers have an exceptionally smooth frequency response with low bass distortion, making the low frequency output of the speaker usable over its full range. The high compliance woofers have multi-layer voice coils enabling them to handle huge amounts of power. The bass response is truly superb, vibrating with a rich resonance that can actually be felt - as though you were at a live performance. The high compliance, wide dispersion tweeters are in their own critically designed acoustic chambers. Wide dispersion provides the extraordinary opportunity to place the speakers where they look best in your room while retaining full stereo pleasure. Finally, we know you are eager to install and use your Festival. But, we earnestly urge that you read the pages that follow. The few minutes it will take to familiarize yourself with the precision electronic instrument that is the Festival, will ensure many years of deep and uninterrupted pleasure.
