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
y
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
ha
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.
