PLACEMENT OF THE KHO-7

There are a number of applications where the Klipsch

KHO-7 is the perfect solution for outdoor sound –

patios, decks, swimming pools, porches or any other

place where exposure to the elements makes

conventional loudspeaker usage unacceptable.

Many of the placement recommendations for indoor use

also apply in outdoor applications. The most common

difference is the desire or need to mount the speakers

above ear level on a wall or under an overhang. To

achieve the best performance from your KHO-7, place

both speakers on the same wall facing the listening

area and space them six to 15 feet apart. For a higher

quality stereo image, angle down, or toe in, the speak-

ers toward the primary listening area. This is especially

important in installations that place the speaker well

above ear level. Some additional bass will result if you

place the speakers in a corner or near a wall: This pro

vides greater bass coupling due to the additional

reflected energy from the walls.

WALL MOUNTING

Included with your KHO-7 speakers are “C”-style

mounting brackets that provide tremendous placement

flexibility. Constructed of weather-resistant powder-coat-

ed aluminum to ensure years of reliable service, these

brackets are the recommended method of mounting

and supporting your speakers. The bracket is attached

to the speaker with the supplied low profile knobs,

which thread into the top and bottom of the cabinet.

This allows the speaker to be angled to the left or right

when mounted vertically, or up and down when

mounted horizontally.

After determining the desired location and orientation of

your KHO-7, remove the bracket from the loudspeaker

and use it as a template to mark the location of the

mounting holes. Check the alignment of the holes with

a torpedo level before drilling the properly sized pilot

hole at the marked locations. Use #10-12, 2.5–3" long

pan head screws to attach the bracket into a wall stud.

Affix the speaker to the bracket with the supplied

knobs. Be sure to leave enough clearance between the

end of the bracket and any adjacent wall or ceiling for

installation of the knobs.

If a wall stud is not available, use the appropriate type

of drywall or masonry anchor to support the weight of

the speaker, allowing for a generous safety margin.

Please consult your dealer, custom installer or building

contractor in these situations.

HOW TO CONNECT THE KHO-7

Switch your electronics OFF when making all connec-

tions! Connect your KHO-7 all-weather speakers to the

“Front” or “Main” left and right channels of your sys-

tem’s power amplifier. Be sure to observe proper polari-

ty (+ to + and – to –) and avoid having excess bare

wire at the connectors, which could short together

causing possible amplifier damage. Refer to “About

Speaker Wire Connections.”

ABOUT SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS

When making any type of speaker wire connection, be

sure to observe proper polarity. Most speaker wire is

color-coded or has some distinguishing feature differen-

tiating the two conductors. Speaker wire connectors on

most

loudspeakers and amplifiers are also color-coded.

Typically, Red is positive (+) and Black is negative (–), or

ground. It does not matter which wire conductor is con-

nected to the positive or negative connection of your

equipment as long as you are consistent. Be sure that

the connections from the amp to the speaker on all of

the various channels of your system are connected in a

like manner. If this is not done, the amount of bass will

be reduced and the stereo image will be compromised.

Be careful not to have excess bare wire or loose

strands of wire that could short from positive to nega-

tive as this could damage the speaker and amplifier.

High quality speaker cable can make an audible

improvement in the sound of your speakers. Your

Klipsch dealer can assist you in selecting the proper

cable to ensure optimal performance from your loud-

speakers.

PAINTING YOUR KHO-7

The grille and cabinet of your KHO-7 may be painted to

match the exterior decor of your house or to blend in

with the surrounding environment. For best results,

properly prepare the surface before painting. Lightly

sand all surfaces to be painted (cabinet and grille) with

300-400 grit sand paper. Wash these surfaces with a

moistened cloth dipped into a mild detergent to remove

any fingerprints or grease. Allow to dry before painting.

Care must be taken to mask off the front of the speaker

to protect the tweeter, woofer and front panel from

over-spray. This will maintain the existing uniform dark

color behind the grille and protect the woofer and

tweeter from being damaged by the paint. Affix masking

tape to the inboard wall of the grille groove and attach

plastic or newspaper to the tape to cover the entire

front panel of the speaker. Also before painting, mask

the speaker wire binding posts on the rear of the cabi-

net to preserve the color-coding and conductivity. Make

sure that the black and red knobs are screwed down to

cover the threaded metal shafts and wrap the knobs

securely in masking tape.

Remove the g

rille before painting. For best results, use

several light coats of paint instead of one heavy coat.

This will help prevent the perforations in the grille from

becoming clogged with paint.
