Important Safety Instructions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. READ these instructions. KEEP these instructions. HEED all warnings. FOLLOW all instructions. DO NOT use this apparatus near water. CLEAN ONLY with dry cloth. DO NOT block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 8. DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9.
Getting Started Preparing the Loudspeaker Unpacking Connection Procedure: Please follow the unpacking instructions fully and in the order shown below. These loudspeakers are heavy! Do not lift or move these speakers by yourself. Always have someone help you.
Positioning Loudspeakers - Stereo Positioning Loudspeakers - Home Theater Never allow objects of furniture to impede the loudspeaker or place objects between the loudspeakers and the listening position. LFE 2 Stereo Positioning The generally accepted norm is that the loudspeakers should be as far away from each other as they are from the listener. This places the listener and the loudspeakers at the points of an equilateral triangle.
Cables, Crossovers and Connections Connecting the Loudspeakers - 2 For best results, connect your loudspeakers with purpose-designed loudspeaker cable. The cables to both loudspeakers should be of equal lengths and be of a gauge sufficient to drive the speakers comfortably without any loss of power in the bass at high volumes. The P 39-F Terminal Panel We recommend a minimum wire diameter of 14 AWG. If you are in doubt, ask your Klipsch dealer for advice.
Connecting the Loudspeakers - 3 Connecting the Loudspeakers - 4 Bi-wiring Bi-amping and Tri-amping Bi-wiring reduces unwanted interactions between the bass drivers and the midrange and treble units. True bi-wiring is connecting separate cables from the bass terminals and the midrange/treble terminals to a common connection at the amplifier. Several cable manufacturers produce specialized cables where one cable jacket contains four cables, thus enabling bi-wiring within one cable cluster.
Finalizing the Assembly Final Adjustments Fitting Spikes The P-39F has a phenomenal frequency response and superb dynamics, so playing large orchestral or rock music will be an awesome experience, but may not necessarily be the best guide in setting up the speakers. Your listening tests should be performed with a wide range of music, including unaccompanied vocal and solo instrumental recordings with as little processing on the source as possible.
About Your Loudspeaker Loudspeaker Components -1 An International Project Bass Drivers The Klipsch P-39F has drawn on engineering, design and manufacturing resources from all aver the world. In addition to our formidable team in the USA, we have used European industrial designers, British theoretical physicists and manufacturing and production specialists from China.
Loudspeaker Components -2 Loudspeaker Components -3 Treble Compression Driver Cabinet Low distortion, high sensitivity, wide bandwidth and neutral tonality have been, in this ground-breaking design, pushed beyond the standards for any previous Klipsch driver. Functionally, any loudspeaker enclosure provides a mechanical placement of each transducer, a method for suppressing acoustical radiations and a resonant chamber to extend low frequency performance.
A Long, Long, Road... Conclusion Total Quality Management Raw veneers A raw cabinet pair Work in progress... To meet the rigid quality standards set at Klipsch, an extensive manufacturing audit is in place. All transducers are within ±0.5dB of the reference standard. Once all transducers are measured, they are grouped into matched sets. All matched transducers are then installed into the enclosure and measured again as a completed loudspeaker. Again, the speakers are sorted as matched pairs.
