ROOM PLACEMENT
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.
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers — For optimum performance, Klipsch
suggests placing your speakers six to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart and at least 24 inch-
es (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 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
Diagram 4 and Figures 1 and 3 for connection and placement.
CONNECTING
Conventional Connection — Using 16-gauge or larger 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” (–) ter-
minal 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.
Some Synergy 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 speak-
ers. 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
The only thing you should ever need to do to your speakers is dust them oc-
casionally. Never apply any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner or any harsh deter-
gent. You can clean the grilles with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
