ROOM PLACEMENT CONNECTION
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.
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.
