ROOM
PLACEMENT
Left and Right Main
Channel Speakers -
For
optimum
performance,
Klipsch Group,
Inc. (KGI)
suggests placing
your
speakers 6
to
15
feet
(1.8
to
4.6m)
apart. They
may
also
be
toed-in
slightly
for
better
stereo imaging. The listening
position
should
be
about
1
to
1.5
times
the
distance separating
the
speakers. Refer
to
Figures 1 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
1,
2 and 3
for
connection and placement.
Rear Surround
Channel
Speakers-
Klipsch
WDST
surround speakers
should
be
placed approximately 2 feet above
the
listening position.
Typically this will
be
about
5-7
feet above the floor. The surrounds
should
be
placed on
the
walls directly adjacent
to
the
listening position.
Another
option would
be
on the wall behind
the
listening position.
The final surround speaker placement depends on
your
room's
characteristics. They are designed
to
recreate the sense
of
space and
ambience
that
many
of
today's surround sound technologies provide.
Refer
to
Figures
1,
3 and 4
for
connection and placement.
Please
note
that
surround
grilles
are
fixed
and
cannot
be
removed.
CONNECTION
Conventional Connection -
Using
16-12
gauge 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
3.
Make sure
that
no bare wires
from
any
of
the
connections touch any
other
terminals
as
this could
cause a
short
and damage
your
equipment.
Some
Klipsch Reference speakers come
with
dual binding posts
that
are connected by a metal strip.
Do
not
remove
this
strip
or
your
speakers will
not
function
correctly. Keep
this
strip
in place and
connect
your
speaker wire
to
the
top
set
of
the
binding posts.
It
is
possible
to
"Bi-wire"
a speaker
that
has
two
sets
of
binding posts.
Please see
your
receiver's manual
for
further
instructions.
Amplifier Requirements-
Klipsch speakers are highly efficient and
will operate easily on a wide variety of amplifiers. All Klipsch speakers
are 8-ohm compatible and can
be
driven
to
very high levels with low
distortion.
Due
to
the high
output
levels Klipsch speakers are capable
of reproducing, exercise caution with the volume control. Excessive
volume over long periods can permanently damage your hearing.
Overdriving
your amplifier could also damage your speakers.
Check
with
your dealer
or
amplifier manual
to
make sure your particular amplifier
is
best suited to your application.
We
want you listening
for
a lifetime.
