To maximize performance, install the KL-7502-THX equally spaced to either side of the video display. When being used as a center channel, please locate the speaker as close to the video display as is practical.

The KS-7502-THX should be installed to either side of the listening position at an equal distance from the listener whenever possible. You may also install them behind the listening position and achieve good results.

Figure 1

THX Ultra2 7.1 surround systems utilize a surround back channel in addition to the traditional side surrounds. When configuring such a system it is suggested to use KL-7502 speakers in the surround back location.

4.Insert the speaker assembly into the opening and attach by tightening the Phillips screws (see illustration). The frame’s “dogs” will swivel out and “sandwich” the ceiling and frame together as they are tightened. If you use a power tool to tighten these screws, please use a low torque setting. Failure to do so could result in damage to your speaker (see Figure 3)

5.At this point, you may paint the speaker grille before attaching it to the speaker. Klipsch speakers and grilles are designed to accept most types of paint. Use the supplied clear paint shield to protect the speaker baffle and drivers when painting the bezel of the speaker. Care should be taken to avoid excessive paint build-up in the grille perforations. Please remove the scrim material attached to inner surface of the grille by carefully peeling it out prior to painting. Reinstall scrim after the paint on the grille is dry.

6.Press the grille into place.
