ROOM PLACEMENT
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers — For optimum performance, Klipsch Group,
Inc. (KGI) suggests placing your speakers 6 to 15 feet (1.8 to 4.6m) apart. They may
also be toed-in slightly for better stereo imaging. The listening position should be
about 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the speakers. Refer to Figures 1 and 3
for connection and placement.
Center Channel Speakers — Center channel speakers are designed to place
dialogue and primary sounds so that 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 1, 2 and 3 for
connection and placement.
Rear Surround Channel Speakers — Klipsch WDST surround speakers should be
placed approximately 2 feet above the listening position. Typically this will be
about 5-7 feet above the floor. The surrounds should be placed on the walls directly
adjacent to the listening position. Another option would be on the wall behind the
listening position. The final surround speaker placement depends on your room's
characteristics. They are designed to recreate the sense of space and ambience that
many of today's surround sound technologies provide. Refer to Figures 1, 3 and 4 for
connection and placement.
CONNECTION
Conventional Connection — Using 16-12 gauge speaker wire, connect the RED
"positive" (+) terminal 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 appropriate
amplifier channels. Refer to Figure 3. Make sure that no bare wires from any of the
connections touch any other terminals as this could cause a short and damage your
equipment.
Reference Premiere models RP-8060FA, RP-8000F, RP-6000F, RP-5000F, RP-4000F
and RP-160M are equipped with dual binding posts. If single wire connection is used,
the terminal connecting bar should remain in place. If Bi-wire or Bi-amp connection
is used, the terminal connecting bar must be removed. Please see your receiver's
manual for further instructions.
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
or amplifier manual to make sure your particular amplifier is best suited to your
application. We want you listening for a lifetime.
