ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE

Your new Klipsch architectural speakers have been designed to deliver great sound while remaining unobtrusive wherever you install them. For optimum performance, please use the models ending with a “W” for in-wall installations. Models ending in “C” should be used for in-ceiling applications. Either type is suitable for use as front, center or surround channels in audio or home theater applications, or as part of a distributed sound system. Minimum Tools Required #2 Phillips Screwdriver Wire strippers Level Stud finder Saw

IN-WALL SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Designed to function in any standard wall, ceiling or drop ceiling, Klipsch in-wall speakers are engineered for years of perform- ance. Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick (figure1). To maximize performance, speakers should be placed at an equal distance from the listener and along a common wall to ensure the best stereo effect. For background listening environments (or when the listening position may vary widely), speaker placement may be wherever is most convenient, although in these cases stereo imaging may be lost.

IN-CEILING SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Designed to function in any drywall or drop ceiling, Klipsch in- ceiling speakers are engineered for years of performance. Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick. In drop ceiling installations, typical "drop in" 2’ x 4’ and 2’ x 2’ ceiling tiles are composed of low density materials which have the potential over time to sag and vibrate audibly. To maximize the acoustic per- formance of your in-ceiling speakers, Klipsch recommends you replace the original mounting panel with 1/2" to 3/4" plywood or medium density fiberboard (MDF) (figure 2). English Figure 1SPEAKER INSTALLATION(for New Construction, skip to step #3)

1. Cut the appropriate size opening in the wall or ceiling using

the template provided. If the template is not available, cutout dimensions are provided on the Klipsch website, www.klipsch.com. Sizes listed are minimum. If accuracy of cut cannot be achieved, you may add 1/4" to each dimension. Be careful not to cut through any existing wiring or plumbing. Avoid compromising any fire stops between studs.

2. Run speaker wiring (18 gauge minimum) to the openings. Be

sure to comply with all building codes in your area.

3. Attach the wire to the speaker using the wire’s color coding or

markings as a guide to maintain proper polarity.

4. Insert the speaker assembly into the opening and attach by

tightening the four Phillips screws (figure 3). The frame’s “dog” legs will swivel out and “sandwich” the wall and frame together. (Klipsch new construction brackets make this simple if used prior to drywall installation.)

5. At this point, you may paint the speaker grilles before

inserting them into the speakers. Klipsch grilles are designed to accept most types of paint. You may wish to remove the scrim material before painting. It may be reinserted after the paint is dry. Care should be taken to avoid excessive paint build-up in the grille perforations.

6. Press the grille into place.

See back page for more illustrations. OPERATING CONTROLS Mid-Bass and Tweeter Attenuator Switch (3000 and 5000 Series) Some models feature a Tweeter switch (3000 series) or both a Mid-Bass and a Tweeter switch (5000 series) located on the front baffle. The switch allows a setting of either 0dB (normal) or –3dB in the respective frequency range. If installing in an acoustically bright room, such as a bathroom or kitchen, you may want to adjust the Tweeter level switch. If the speaker is located in a corner and produces too much bass, you may need to adjust the Mid-Bass level switch. The position of the switch should always be checked prior to attaching the grille. Pivoting Horn (In-Wall Models) The 3000 and 5000 series feature a pivoting horn that allows the horn to be toed-in. Before the grille is installed, carefully aim the horn toward the listening area. Swiveling Horn Tweeter (In-Ceiling Models) Klipsch Reference in-ceiling models (3000 and 5000 Series) feature a swiveling tweeter to aim the high frequencies. To aim sound directly at the listening area, gently adjust the horn to the desired angle before the grille is installed. Do not attempt to turn the tweeter stem while adjusting the swivel tweeter. Infrared Sensor Mount (In-Wall Models) The 2000, 3000 and 5000 Series in-wall speakers feature a 1/2’’ infrared sensor locator on the baffle.
