Speaker Setup Considerations
Front speakers typically sound best
when their tweeters are at approxi-
mately ear height for seated listeners.
If this isn’t possible, it is sometimes
beneficial to tilt the speaker down or
up slightly so that it is aimed into the
listening area.
If possible, position the speakers the same distanc e apart as they are
from the listening position.
Speakers should be pointed straight forward. Do not place t he
speakers at an angle.
If you are putting speakers in a cabinet, on a rack or a tab le, try to
bring them out far enough so that they are at least flush with the
cabinet’s front edge.
When practical, arrange each speaker so that it is at somewhat
different distances from the floor, the wall behind it, and the wall
beside it. It can also help to have the left and right front speaker s
at different distances from their nearest side walls. This st aggering
helps smooth the bass range. Each speaker can be set on its bot tom
or side. If you set them on the side and want to turn the Klipsch logo,
carefully pull the logo forward, turn and release it.
The subwoofer’s output will increase as it is moved closer to walls,
with maximum output when it is placed in a corner. If practical,
always place the subwoofer near a wall. Additionally, a subwoofer will
deliver the smoothest bass response when placed near a wall away
from openings, such as doors.
Naturally, there are exceptions to the rules, since no two rooms or
systems are exactly alike. Experiment with positioning to get the
best sound.

After you uncoil the speaker cable, connect one speaker to th e
RIGHT
(Red) connector on the back of your Klipsch system. This speaker will
be to your left when you are behind the system connecting, but it will
be on the right when you are facing the system. You can connect either
speaker to the
LEFT
or the
RIGHT
OUTPUT, you just need to place them
properly.
Connect the other speaker to the
LEFT
(White) OUTP UT on the back of
the Klipsch system. The speaker connected to the
LEFT
OUTPUT will be
to your right when you are behind the system connecting, but it will be
on the
left
when you are facing the system.
Rubber pads have been included in the Accessory box. T hese self
adhesive pads can be applied to the bottom of the speakers.
The CS-700 wirelessly transmits the subwoofer signal from the A /V
Center to the subwoofer. (If you wish to connect the subwoofer with a
standard RCA cable, simply connect one end of the cable to th e black
“LFE” OUTPU T on the rear of the A/V Center and the ot her end to the
“LFE” INPUT on the rear o f the subwoofer. Cable not included.)
Plug the power cord into the subwoofer and an AC outlet and turn the
subwoofer ON.
For best results, the antenna on the rear of the CS-700 A /V Center
should be pointed up.
