Totem Acoustic speakers · Kansas City.

What Totem Acoustic is known for

Totem Acoustic says its speakers are engineered and handcrafted in Canada. Its range covers small monitors, towers, slim on-wall speakers and architectural models. The families on Totem’s site today:

• Bison Series and Loon. The Bison Monitor, Bison Tower and Bison Center, and the Loon Monitor.
• Tribe. Tribe Tower, Tribe Duo, Tribe III and the Tribe Solution Sub, slim speakers for a wall or a narrow space.
• Element. The Element Wood V2.
• KIN and architectural. The KIN IC6 Ultra Slim and KIN IW6 Slim, with on-wall, in-wall and in-ceiling speakers and in-wall subwoofers.
• Torrent. Totem’s driver technology, used in its Torrent Equipped Speakers.

Where we use Totem Acoustic

Totem’s compact speakers suit a listening room or a living room where the speakers should not dominate. Tribe models fit beside a TV on a wall. KIN and the architectural models carry the same maker into whole-house audio. We also install PSB and Monitor Audio.

What we check before we order

• Seats and distance. Where people sit and how far they are from the speakers, which sets the size of speaker the room needs.
• The room itself. Glass, stone, hard floors and open plans change what a speaker sounds like, so they are noted before a model is named.
• Amplification. Power and channel count matched to the speakers, with room in the rack for the amplifier to breathe.
• Openings and depth. For in-wall and in-ceiling models, the cut-out, the depth behind the drywall and the cable path, checked against the maker’s published specification.

Those answers go on the drawing, and the Totem Acoustic models in the proposal come from them.

What Totem Acoustic pairs with

An integrated amplifier from NAD Electronics or a streamer from Bluesound in a listening room, a multi-zone amplifier for ceiling speakers, and a Control4 or Crestron keypad that starts the music with the room scene.

How we supply and install Totem Acoustic

After the no-cost planning consultation we draw the speaker positions, order to the plan, cut and wire at rough-in where the house is open, then install, place and tune. Call (913) 804-7575.

After the install

Every Totem Acoustic job ends with a handover in the room: we show you how it works, test it with you, and record the models, settings and wiring in your project record so the next visit starts from facts rather than guesses. If something stops working, you call us, and the person who answers can see what was installed. Our installation carries a five-year workmanship warranty from the final invoice. Because we also look after the network and the control system around it, the speaker system is never fixed in isolation from the rest of the house.
