ROOM
PLACEMENT
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers - For
optimum
performance, Klipsch Group, Inc. (KGI) suggests placing
your
speakers 6
to
15
feet
(1.8
to
4.6m) apart. They may also be toed-in
slightly
for
better
stereo imaging. The listening position should
be
about 1
to
1.5
times
the
distance separat ing
the
speakers. Refer
to
Figures 1 and 3
for
connection and placement.
Center Channel Speakers - Center channel speakers are designed
to
place dialogue and
primary
sounds
so
that
they
appear
to
come
from
the
video screen. The speakers should therefore be placed
as
close
to
the screen
as
possible, preferably directly on top
of
or
below the
screen. Refer
to
Figures
1,
2 and 3
for
connection and placement.
Rear Surround Channel Speakers - Klipsch surround speakers should
be placed approximately 2 feet above the listening position. Typically
this will be about 5-7 feet above
the
floor. The surrounds should be
placed on the walls directly adjacent
to
the listening position. Another
option would be on
the
wall behind the listening position. The final
surround speaker placement depends on
your
room's characteristics.
They are designed
to
recreate the sense
of
space and ambience
that
many
of
today's surround sound technologies provide. Refer
to
Figures
1,
3 and 4
for
connection and placement.
CONNECTION
Conventional Connection - Using
16-12
gauge speaker wire, connect
the
RED
"positive"(+)
terminal
of
the
LEFT speaker
to
the
RED
"positive"(+)
terminal
of
your amplifier's LEFT channel. Connect
the
BLACK "negative" (-) terminal
of
the LEFT speaker
to
the
BLACK
"negative"(-)
terminal
of
your
amplifier's LEFT channel.
Repeat
the
above procedure
for
connecting all remaining speakers
to
the appropriate amplifier channels. Refer
to
Figure 3. Make sure
that
no bare wires
from
any
of
the
connections touch any
other
terminals
as
this could cause a short and damage
your
equipment.

single wire connection is used,
the
terminal connecting wire should
remain in place.
If
Bi-wire
or
Bi-amp connection

used,
the
terminal
connecting wire must be removed. Please see
your
receiver's manual
for
further
instructions.
Amplifier Requirements - Klipsch speakers are highly efficient and
will operate easily on a wide variety
of
amplifiers. All Klipsch speakers
are 8-ohm compatible and can be driven
to
very high levels with low
distortion.
Due
to
the high
output
levels Klipsch speakers are capable
of
reproducing, exercise caution with the volume control. Excessive
volume over long periods
can
permanently damage your hearing.
Overdriving your amplifier could also damage your speakers. Check with
your dealer
or
amplifier manual
to
make sure your particular amplifier
is
best suited
to
your application.
We
want you listening
for
a lifetime.
