ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE

Your new Klipsch architectural speakers have been designed to deliver great sound while remaining unobtrusive wherever you install them. For optimum performance, please use the models ending with a “W” for in-wall installations. Models ending in “C” should be used for in-ceiling applications. Either type is suitable for use as front, center or surround channels in audio or home theater applications, or as part of a distributed sound system.

IN-WALL SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Designed to function in any standard wall, ceiling or drop ceiling, Klipsch in-wall speakers are engineered for years of perform- ance. Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick (figure1).

Figure 1

To maximize performance, speakers should be placed at an equal distance from the listener and along a common wall to ensure the best stereo effect. For background listening environments (or when the listening position may vary widely), speaker placement may be wherever is most convenient, although in these cases stereo imaging may be lost.

IN-CEILING SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Designed to function in any drywall or drop ceiling, Klipsch in- ceiling speakers are engineered for years of performance. Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick. In drop ceiling installations, typical "drop in" 2’ x 4’ and 2’ x 2’ ceiling tiles are composed of low density materials which have the potential over time to sag and vibrate audibly. To maximize the acoustic per- formance of your in-ceiling speakers, Klipsch recommends you replace the original mounting panel with 1/2" to 3/4" plywood or medium density fiberboard (MDF) (figure 2).
