ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE

Thank you for your purchase of Klipsch THX

Ultra2

™

loudspeakers. After reading this

manual and connecting your system, you will hear the results of over 55 years of stringent

engineering and class-leading research and development. Like all Klipsch products, your

loudspeakers feature Klipsch Tractrix

Horn-loaded Technology– the guiding design for the

first Klipschorn

developed in 1946 and for every product that has followed. Horn-loading

allows your speakers to deliver high sensitivity, low distortion, flat frequency response and

wide dispersion, which translates to unequaled power, detail, and dynamics, the hallmark of

“The Klipsch Sound.” Please be sure to fill out the warranty card at the back of this manual

or online at www.klipsch.com so we are better able to serve you. Again, thank you for

choosing Klipsch and we hope that your speakers bring life to your music and movies for

many years.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

U N P A C K I N G

The easiest way to remove the speaker from its carton is to turn the open end of the box

down so that it is resting on a table or the floor, with the flaps spread out and away. Then

pull the box straight up and off. Remove any packing material from the speaker and grille,

place it back in the carton, and store in case you ever need to ship the loudspeaker. Each

speaker comes supplied with rubber stick-on feet that should be applied to prevent any

damage to either the speaker or the surface on which it is resting. (See Figure 1.)

P L A C E M E N T

Your THX Ultra2 loudspeakers will achieve optimum performance when located in

conformance with THX guidelines, on which the following instructions are based. Don’t be

discouraged if some compromise is necessary, however, or if modest adjustments will

make the system look much better in the room. The speakers are engineered to deliver

excellent sound over a relatively wide range of placements within the basic framework of a

5.1-, 6.1-, or 7.1-channel surround-sound installation. This is especially the case for

WDST™ (Wide Dispersion Surround Technology) surround speakers, which offer many

more practical placement options than conventional designs. In the end, all that matters is

what sounds good to you and what works in your home theater.

Before we move on to the specifics, here are some placement considerations that apply

universally.

General Rules

•

Front speakers typically sound best when their tweeters are at approximately ear height

for seated listeners. If this isn’t possible (as it often is not for center-channel speakers), it

is sometimes beneficial to tilt the speaker slightly so that it is aimed into the listening

area. Surround-channel speakers usually perform best when placed slightly above

seated ear level.

•

If you are putting speakers in a cabinet, try to bring their fronts out far enough that they

are at least flush with the cabinet’s front.

•

When practical, arrange each speaker so that its woofer is at somewhat different

distances from the floor, the wall behind it, and the wall beside it. It can also help to

have the left and right front speakers at different distances from their nearest side walls.

This sort of staggering helps smooth the bass range.

•

Any speaker’s bass output and response is strongly influenced by its distance from room

boundaries, such as walls and the floor. Moving a speaker closer to a room boundary will

increase its bass output, while moving it away will reduce the bass. So you will get

maximum bass from a speaker by placing it in a corner and minimum bass by placing it

in the center of the room.

System Configuration

Figure 2 shows a THX-Ultra2 compliant 7.1-channel speaker layout. (Configuration for 5.1

channels is the same minus the surround back loudspeakers behind the listening area.)

KL-650-THX or KL-525-THX LCR’s are used for front left, center, and right channels. The

left and right surrounds are KS-525-THX WDST™ loudspeakers. The surround back

speakers are narrowly spaced KL-650-THX or KL-525-THX LCR’s. In some installations, it

may be preferable to use KS-525-THX’s for the surround back channels due to their

smaller size. Their WDST design works very well in this application. Two KW-120-THX

subwoofers are necessary to achieve THX Ultra2 maximum output requirements. This

specification assumes a very large room, however, and in many installations a single
