ABOUT

YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE

Thank you for your purchase of Klipsch bookshelf loudspeakers. After reading this manual and

connecting your system,

you will hear the result of over 55 years of stringent engineering and

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

feature Klipsch Tractrix

Horn-loaded Technology—the guiding design for the first Klipschorn

developed in 1946 and f

or 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 hallmarks 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.

UNPACKING

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. Attach the dome-shaped self-stick

pads on the bottom of the cabinet for shelf protection. (See Figure 1.) Align the magnetic posts on

the inside of the grille with the screws on the front of the speaker, and it will snap into place.

PLACEMENT

Although your Reference Series speakers will perform well in a wide variety of locations, you will

get the most out of them by following some simple guidelines:

• Place the front left and right speakers on shelves or stands with their tweeters at

approximately ear height for a seated listener. Used as surround-channel speakers, they

usually perform best when placed slightly higher than that.

• If you are installing your speakers in a cabinet, place them so their fronts are at least flush

with the cabinet’s front.

• If possible, arrange both speakers so that they are equal distances from the floor and the wall

behind them. It can also help to have the left and right speakers at different distances from

their nearest side walls. This sort of staggering helps smooth the bass range.

•

y speaker’

s bass output and response is strongl

y influenced by its distance from room

boundaries,

such as walls and the f

loor

. Moving a speaker closer to a room boundary will

increase its bass output, while moving it away will reduce the bass. Following the suggestions

bove will typicall

y yield good results with Klipsch Reference Series bookshelf speakers,

but

you ma

y find tha

t you can “fine-tune” the sound by moving them slightly from side to side or

front to back until music recordings with strong bass content sound just right to you. Don’t be

afraid to experiment.
