SPEAKER CONNECTION
IMPORTANT! Turn your amplier or receiver OFF
before connecting your speakers. This will avoid
damage which could result from accidental shorting
of the speaker cables.
The loudspeaker binding posts can be used with
banana, pin or spade connectors, as well as with
bare wire. Tighten the posts rmly by hand but do
not over tighten!
Correct polarity (or phase) is critical for proper
imaging and bass performance. Connect one
speaker at a time to ensure proper connection.
The red (+) amplier terminal must be connected
to the red (+) speaker terminal. The same applies
to the black (–) terminals. Make sure all wires
are rmly fastened. Repeat this connection
procedure for each speaker. Once connected, it’s
a good idea to go back and double check each
connection for correct polarity.
BREAK-IN
Your KLH Model Five loudspeakers will sound great right out-of-the-box. But since your new speakers include many moving
parts, these parts need time to adjust to one another and therefore some amount of “break-in” is required. In order for your
loudspeakers to sound their best, KLH recommends the speakers to be played at a moderate volume for at least 8 hours prior to
any critical listening.
