KPT-801

The Klipsch KPT-801 is a two-way design using a high perfor- mance bass driver for the low frequencies. A Tractrix Horn with a 90° x 90° coverage pattern is attached to a 1” diam- eter compression driver for clean and efficient reproduction of the high and midrange frequencies.

CONNECTIONS

When making any type of speaker wire connection, be sure to observe proper polarity. Most speaker wire and connec- tors are color-coded. Typically, red is positive (+) and black is negative (–), or ground. It does not matter which wire con- ductor is connected to the positive or negative connection of your equipment as long as it is consistent.

WALL MOUNTING

Included with your speakers are “C” style mounting brackets constructed of powder-coated zinc. These brackets attach to the speaker with the supplied low profile knobs that thread onto the top and bottom studs protruding from the cabinet. This allows the speaker to be angled to the left or right when mounted vertically, or up and down when mounted horizon- tally. When mounting horizontally, lock nuts are provided for both studs for optimum speaker stability.

After determining the desired location and orientation of your speakers, remove the bracket from the loudspeaker and use it as a template to mark the location of the mount- ing holes. Check the alignment of the holes with a torpedo level before drilling the pilot hole. Please observe local and/ or federal codes in securing the bracket, especially when suspending objects above people’s heads. Once the bracket is secured, affix the speaker to the bracket with the supplied knobs. Be sure to leave enough clearance between the end of the bracket and any adjacent wall or ceiling for installation of the knobs.

If a wall stud is not available, use the appropriate type of drywall or masonry anchor to support the weight of the speaker, allowing for a generous safety margin. Please con- sult your dealer, custom installer or building contractor in these situations.

You may also use an optional wall or ceiling mount that will fit the provided 3/8” – 16 inserts.

TYPES OF CONNECTORS

Your speaker is equipped with barrier strip connectors for inputs. Make sure that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two lugs. Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in amplifier malfunc- tion or damage.

On the back wall, the first surrounds are placed 1.5 meters from the side walls, then each surround is placed 3 meters from each other until they meet in the middle. (Even space them) so you are as close to 3 meters distance between them as possible.
