CP SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL
RECOMMENDED RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER POWER TO USE WITH KLIPSCH CP SPEAKERS A speaker can be damaged just as easily with too little power as with too much power. A general rule is when you raise the volume level on a receiver/amplifier past the “one half” (or “12 o’clock” position with a marked volume knob), that receiver/amplifier is now starting to work beyond its capabilities, sending harmful distortion that can damage any speaker, no matter how many watts that speaker is rated to accept.
HOOKING SPEAKERS UP TO AN AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER (CONTINUED) IF YOU WISH TO USE TWO PAIRS OF KLIPSCH CP SERIES SPEAKERS ON ONE AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER WE RECOMMEND ONE OF TWO METHODS: SPK A SPK B L R _ _ _ PARALLEL WIRING TWO PAIRS TO 4Ω CAPABLE AMP/RECEIVER METHOD 2 Method 2: IF YOUR AMP/RECEIVER IS RATED TO 4 OHMS OR LESS make a parallel wire connection as shown from the amp/receiver’s right and left speaker terminals.

SUGGESTED SPEAKER PLACEMENT (CONTINUED) If speakers are covering a very large listening area (i.e. large patio/deck) you may be able to send a mono signal (L+R channel) to both speakers so that all listeners hear everything even if far from one speaker. See amplifier/receiver manual to see if it allows this.
CP SERIES Thank you for your purchase of the Klipsch CP Series speakers! They are designed to both withstand the rigors of outdoor use while also complimenting any indoor décor as either a stereo pair or surround speakers in a home Theater system. The included, unique wall bracket provides for easy horizontal or vertical wallmounting and even allows for a tight mounting tucked into a corner for a highly aesthetic look that also adds bass output. Shelf or table placement is an added option.
