POSITIONING YOUR REFERENCE SERIES SPEAKERS

Before You Start

— Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other accessories that may need to be

installed prior to use. Please refer to Diagrams 1, 2, and 3 for installation.

FOR MAXIMUM STABILITY AND SAFETY THE INCLUDED OUTRIGGER FEET MUST BE INSTALLED.

Left and Right Main Channel Speakers — For optimum performance, place your speakers six to 15 feet

(2 to 4.5m) apart and at least 24 inches (60.8cm) from the back and side walls. They may also be

toed-in slightly for better stereo imaging. The listening position should be about 1 to 1.5 times the dis-

tance separa

ting the speakers.

Refer to Figures 1 and 2 f

or connection and placement.

Center Channel Speakers — Center channel speakers are designed to place dialogue and primar

sounds so tha

t 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 2 and

3 f

or placement.

Rear Surround Channel Speakers — Klipsch WDST™ surround speakers should be placed on the walls

directly adjacent to or on the wall behind the listening position. They are designed to recreate the sense

of space and ambience that many of today’s surround sound technologies provide. Refer to Diagram 4

and Figures 2 for placement.

CONNECTING YOUR REFERENCE SERIES SPEAKERS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER

Conventional Connection — Using 16-gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the RED "positive" (+) ter-

minal 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 appropri-

ate amplifier channels. Refer to Figure 4 and 6. Make sure that no bare wires from any of the connec-

tions touch any other terminals as this could cause a short and damage your equipment. Some

Reference models have two sets of input terminals connected by wire jumpers. For conventional con-

nection, leave these jumpers in place, and use either set of terminals.

Bi-wire Connections — Some Reference models ha

ve the capability to be bi-wired. These speakers

ve two sets of input terminals connected by wire jumpers. Bi-wiring requires using two separate

speaker wires f

or each speaker. The RED "positive" (+) leads of both LEFT channel wires are tied

together and inserted into the same RED "positive" (+) terminals of the amplifier’

s LEFT channel. On the

LEFT speaker, the wire jumpers are removed. One of the two speaker wires is connected to the top set

of terminals (RED to RED and BLACK to BLACK) while the other speaker wire is connected to the lower

set of terminals in the same manner. Refer to Figure 5. Klipsch recommends this method of hook-up for

improved bass response, imaging and detail. For more information on how to bi-wire your speakers, see

your dealer or visit www.klipsch.com.

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 to make sure your

particular amplifier is best suited to your application. We want you listening for a lifetime.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR REFERENCE SERIES SPEAKERS

Your speakers have a durable vinyl or real wood veneer finish that should only require dry dusting or

cleaning with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and harsh detergents.

The brush attachment of your vacuum or a slightly damp sponge should remove any dust from your

speaker grilles.
