PLACEMENT
Before You Start – Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other accessories that may need to be installed prior to use. Please refer to Diagrams 1, 2, 3 and 4 for installation.
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers – For optimum performance, place your speakers 6 to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart and at least 24 inches (60.8cm) from side walls. They may also be toed-in slightly for better stereo imaging. The listening position should be approximately 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the speakers. Refer to figures 1, 2 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 2, 3 and 4 for connection and placement.
Rear Surround Channel Speakers – Rear surround speakers are designed to recreate the sense of space and ambiance that many of today’s surround sound technologies provide. Quintet surround speakers can be placed on the wall directly adjacent to or on the wall behind the listening position using the foot as the mounting bracket. Refer to Diagram 4 and Figures 2 and 4 for connection and placement.
CONNECTIONS
Conventional Connection – Using 16-gauge or larger 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 this procedure for connecting all remaining speakers to the appropriate amplifier channels. Refer to Figure 4. Make sure no bare wires from any of the connections touch any other bare wires or terminals as this could cause a short and damage your equipment.
Amplifier Requirements – Klipsch speakers are highly efficient and will work well with a wide variety of ampli- fiers. Due to the high output levels Klipsch speakers are capable of reproducing, exercise caution with the volume control. Excessive volume over long periods of time can permanently damage your hearing. Overdriving your amplifier could also damage your speakers. Check with your dealer to make sure your particular amplifier is best suited to your application. We want you listening for a lifetime.
CARE AND CLEANING
Your speakers have a durable finish that should only require dry dusting. Avoid use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and harsh detergents. The brush attachment of your vacuum or a damp cloth should remove any dust from your speaker grilles.
