SPEAKER INSTALLATION(for New Construction, skip to step #3)

1.Cut the appropriate size opening in the wall or ceiling using the template provided. If the template is not available, cutout dimensions are provided on the Klipsch website, www.klipsch.com. Sizes listed are minimum. If accuracy of cut cannot be achieved, you may add 1/4" to each dimension. Be careful not to cut through any existing wiring or plumbing. Avoid compromising any fire stops between studs.

2.Run speaker wiring (18 gauge minimum) to the openings. Be sure to comply with all building codes in your area.

3.Attach the wire to the speaker using the wire’s color coding or markings as a guide to maintain proper polarity.

4.Insert the speaker assembly into the opening and attach by tightening the four Phillips screws (figure 3). The frame’s “dog” legs will swivel out and “sandwich” the wall and frame together. (Klipsch new construction brackets make this simple if used prior to drywall installation.)

5.At this point, you may paint the speaker grilles before inserting them into the speakers. Klipsch grilles are designed to accept most types of paint. You may wish to remove the scrim material before painting. It may be reinserted after the paint is dry. Care should be taken to avoid excessive paint build-up in the grille perforations.

6.Press the grille into place.

OPERATING CONTROLS

Mid-Bass and Tweeter Attenuator Switch (3000 and 5000 Series)

Some models feature a Tweeter switch (3000 series) or both a Mid-Bass and a Tweeter switch (5000 series) located on the front baffle. The switch allows a setting of either 0dB (normal) or –3dB in the respective frequency range. If installing in an acoustically bright room, such as a bathroom or kitchen, you may want to adjust the Tweeter level switch. If the speaker is located in a corner and produces too much bass, you may need to adjust the Mid-Bass level switch. The position of the switch should always be checked prior to attaching the grille.

Pivoting Horn (In-Wall Models)

The 3000 and 5000 series feature a pivoting horn that allows the horn to be toed-in. Before the grille is installed, carefully aim the horn toward the listening area.

Swiveling Horn Tweeter (In-Ceiling Models)

Klipsch Reference in-ceiling models (3000 and 5000 Series) feature a swiveling tweeter to aim the high frequencies. To aim sound directly at the listening area, gently adjust the horn to the desired angle before the grille is installed.

Do not attempt to turn the tweeter stem while adjusting the swivel tweeter.

Infrared Sensor Mount (In-Wall Models)

All Reference model in-wall speakers feature a 1/2’’ infrared sensor locator on the baffle.
