ROOM PLACEMENT
Left and Right Front Speakers — For optimum performance, Klipsch Group, Inc. (KGI)
suggests placing your front left and right 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.
KD-52C 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 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 the above 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.
Some Klipsch Front speakers come with dual binding posts that are connected by
a metal strip. Do not remove this strip or your speakers will not function correctly.
Keep this strip in place and connect your speaker wire to the top set of the binding
posts. It is possible to "Bi-wire" a speaker that has two sets of binding posts. 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.
