Before You Start — Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other accessories

that may need to be installed prior to use.

Left and Right Main Channel Speakers — For the most spacious sound

Klipsch suggests placing the G-12, G-16 or G-28 front left/right speakers six

to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart with the listening position about 1 to 1.5 times the

distance separating the speakers. Excellent sound can still be achieved by

placing/wall-mounting these speakers close to both sides of your TV if that is

more aesthetically pleasing.

Center Channel Speakers — Speakers used as center channel speakers are

designed to place dialogue and primary sounds so that they appear to come

from the video screen. These speakers should therefore be placed/

wall-mounted horizontally, as close to the screen as possible, preferably at least

1" directly below the screen. The G-42 three-channel soundbar should also be

placed/wall-mounted this way.

Rear Surround Channel Speakers — Speakers used as 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.

SpEaKEr/SOUndbar pEdEStal inStallatiOn

If you place your G-12,G-16,G-28 speakers or G-42 soundbar on a stand, table,

etc. (vs. mounting on the wall), you will need to attach the provided tempered

glass pedestals with the included screws.

Before you attach a pedestal, have the speaker wire that will attach to that speaker

available since attaching the pedestal and connecting the speaker wire to a speaker

are done at the same time (see “Connecting” section for proper wire connection).

The G-12, G-16 and G-28 speakers can be attached vertically or horizontally onto

their pedestals and, therefore, have threaded inserts in two different positions on

the rear of these speakers. The G-48 Soundbar can only be attached horizontally

to its pedestal. Attach the pedestal as follows:

1. Insert speaker wires (one set for G-12, G-16 and G-28 and three sets, left,

right and center channel for G-42 soundbar) inside hole in pedestal back

and pull through pedestal top (See Diagram 1).

2. Position speaker/soundbar on ridge on pedestal top, lining up the holes in

the top with the threaded inserts on the speaker (the G-12 has just one

insert when in horizontal position and it should lineup with left hole on

3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, screw the screws partially into the speaker

inserts, without tightening them.

4. If vertical mounting, attach speaker wires (see “Diagram 1”), adjust wires

to fit in recessed area around terminals and tighten Phillips screws on

pedestal. If horizontal mounting, route speaker wire from the rear center

of speaker through channel(s) to the speaker terminals, attach speaker

wires in same manner as vertical mounting, then tighten Phillips screws on

pedestal. With the G-42 soundbar, use both channels to route all three sets

of wires to the speaker terminals. (Note: using speaker wire larger than 18

gauge may not allow wire(s) to completely fit in channels). If needed, use

the included adhesive strip to hold excess wire in place.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

WARNING: Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages in this

equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.SpEaKEr/SOUndbar On-Wall inStallatiOn

If you mount your G-12,G-16,G-28 speakers or G-42 Soundbar on a wall, do not

attach the pedestals. Determine a suitable location for each speaker to wall-

mount and complete all wiring to all speaker positions before mounting speakers

to the wall. Do not ceiling-mount.

1. If you have the G-28 or G-42, use included template and choose mount

position for the speaker (horizontal or vertical). Pin template to wall, mak-

ing sure it is level (when horizontally mounting) or plumb (when vertically

mounting) and positioned correctly, centered with the TV’s center points for

example. Mark on wall the pilot hole locations through the template and

remove template. If you have the G-12 or G-16, mark on wall 2 pilot hole

points 9.26”apart for the G-12 or 13.25”apart for the G-16 (make sure

the points are lined up so that the speaker hangs straight up and down verti-

cally or level horizontally). For all speakers, Leave a minimum of one inch

space between speaker cabinet and TV. Keep in mind that, when mounted,

the speaker will “lock” into position 5/16” up, down, left or right of where

the pilot holes are drilled.

2. Pre-drill pilot holes in marked locations. If drilling into a wall stud (ideal) it

is recommended to use #10 mounting screws (not included) to mount the

speaker bracket (G-28 and G-42) or the speaker itself (G-12 and G-16).

If there is no stud where a pilot hole is located, install wall anchors (not

included) into the pilot holes to hold the bracket or speaker instead. Wall

anchors should be rated to at least 6 pounds (G-12 and G-16) or 12 pounds

3. If vertical wall-mounting, feed speaker wire into speaker bottom area and

attach each wire to appropriate screw-terminal binding post (See Diagram

1). If horizontal wall-mounting, feed speaker wire to channel(s) that start on

the back center part of the speaker, then continue running wire through the

channel(s) and attach each wire to the appropriate screw-terminal binding

post the same as if vertical mounting. (Note: using speaker wire larger than

18 gauge may not allow wire(s) to completely fit in channels). If needed,

stick the included adhesive strip on a point over the channel to hold the

wires in place in the channel (See Diagram 2).

4. Gently push the speaker onto the two tabs on the mounted bracket through

its keyholes (G-28 and G-42) or onto the two screws in the wall (G-12 and

G-16) and push 5/16” up, down, right or left to lock into position.

COnnECtinG G-12,G-16,G-28 Connection - Using 16-gauge or larger speaker wire, con-

nect 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.

G-42 Soundbar Connection - Since this speaker contains the LEFT, RIGHT and

CENTER channels, connect each one of these channels from your amplifier as

above to the designated “Left”, “Right” and “Center” terminals on the G-42.

Make sure that no bare wires from any of the connections touch each other or

any other terminals as this could cause a short and damage your equipment.
