ROOM PLACEMENT CONNECTION
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 separat ing 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 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.
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.
Reference Premiere models RP-8060FA II, RP-8000F II, RP-6000F II,
RP-5000F II, and RP-600M II are equipped with dual binding posts. If
single wire connection is used, the terminal connecting wire should
remain in place. If Bi-wire or Bi-amp connection is used, the terminal
connecting wire 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.
