FORTE III
The Forte III has excellent bass extension and therefore offers a
good degree of toe-in and placement options. However, the Forte
features a rear-firing 15” passive radiator that requires the
loudspeaker to be placed at least 1” away from the back wall. For
optimal low-bass performance, it is recommended the loudspeaker
be placed within 2 to 10 inches of the back wall. This will provide
the best low bass loading and enhance the low frequency extension
of the loudspeaker.
CONNECTING YOUR LOUDSPEAKER
Caution: Turn your amplifier off before making any connections!
(See Figure 4.)
• Your loudspeakers are equipped with positive (Red) and negative
(Black) connection terminals, on the rear or side of the cabinet.
These correspond to the positive and negative terminals on the
appropriate channel (left, right, etc.) of your amplifier and will
accomodate bare wire, spade lugs or banana plugs (See Figure 4).
• All speakers in your system must be connected in phase with
the positive speaker terminal connected to the positive amplifier
terminal. Repeat this for the negative speaker and amplifier
terminals. Most speaker wire has distinguishing markings on the
insulation of one of the conductors to assist in correct hookup.
• Use 16-gauge (AWG), two conductor, copper wire at a minimum
and larger gauge wire for longer runs. The connection terminals on
your loudspeaker will accommo date bare wire, spade terminals or
banana type plugs.
• Caution: With all connection types take care that there is no
contact between the positive and negative terminals at the speaker
and amplifier. Damage to your equipment may result! (See Figure
4.)
Klipschorn: Connections are found on the input panel on the
side of the low frequency cabinet. Two of the four pairs of binding
posts are used to connect the speaker cables coming from your
amplifier. They are labeled “HF IN” + and – / “LF IN” + and –.
Both red (+) and both black (-) posts are connected with wire
jumpers. Leave these jumpers in place for conventional single
wire connection and use either pair of posts. Remove these
jumpers for optional bi-wire connection. (See Figure 5.) Replace
the side grille, removed earlier after completing all connections.
Take care to route the speaker cable through the notch in the
lower, rear corner of the grille as the speaker is slid into the corner.
If the speaker cable comes from the side opposite the input
panel, route it through the notch in that grille then in front of the
tail board and onto the input panel.
Do not connect your amplifier directly to the midrange or tweeter
driver leads or to the posts labeled “Mid Out” or “HF Out” as you
may damage the speaker.
La Scala II: The two pairs of binding posts located on the rear of
the loudspeaker are used to connect the speaker cables coming
from your amplifier. These binding posts are labeled “HF IN” +
and – / “LF IN” + and –.” Both red (+) and black (-) posts connected
with wire jumpers. Leave these jumpers in place for conventional
single wire connection and use either pair of posts.
Remove these jumpers for bi-wire connection. (See Figure 5.)
Cornwall III and Heresy III : The two pairs of binding posts located
on the rear of the loudspeaker and are used to connect the
speaker cables coming from your amplifier. These binding posts
are labeled “HF+”, “HF-”, “LF+” and “LF-” and have both red (+)
and black (-) posts connected with metal straps. Leave these
straps in place for conventional single wire connection and use
either pair of posts. Remove these straps for bi-wire connection
(See Figure 4).
