ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE
Your new Klipsch architectural speakers have been designed to
deliver great sound while remaining unobtrusive wherever you
install them. For optimum performance, please use the models
ending with a "W" for in-wall installations. Models ending in "C"
should be used for in-ceiling applications. Either type is suitable
for use as front, center or surround channels in audio or home
theater applications, or as part of a distributed sound system.
Minimum Tools Required
#2 Phillips Screwdriver
Wire strippers
Level
Stud finder
Saw
IN-WALL SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Designed to function in any standard wall, ceiling or drop ceiling,
Klipsch in-wall speakers are engineered for years of perform-
ance. Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or
other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick (figure1).
Figure 1
To maximize performance, speakers should be placed at an
equal distance from the listener and along a common wall
to ensure the best stereo effect. For background listening
environments (or when the listening position may vary widely),
speaker placement may be wherever is most convenient,
although in these cases stereo imaging may be lost.
IN-CEILING SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Designed to function in any drywall or drop ceiling, Klipsch in-
ceiling speakers are engineered for years of performance.
Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or other
mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick. In drop ceiling
installations, typical "drop in" 2' x 4' and 2' x 2' ceiling tiles are
composed of low density materials which have the potential over
time to sag and vibrate audibly. To maximize the acoustic per-
formance of your in-ceiling speakers, Klipsch recommends you
replace the original mounting panel with 1/2" to 3/4" plywood or
medium density fiberboard (MDF) (figure 2).
