Important Safety Information
Before You Start – Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other accessories that may need to be installed prior to use. Please refer to
Diagram 1 for installation.
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers – For optimum performance,
place your speakers six to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart and at least
24 inches (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, 4 and 5 for connection and placement.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose
this apparatus to rain or moisture.
WARNING: No naked flame sources – such as candles – should be
placed on the product.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT OPEN.
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 ser vice personnel.
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 BL ACK “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.
Refer to Figure 4. 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 Classic models have two sets
of input terminals connected by metal “straps.” For conventional
connection, leave these straps in place, and use either set of
terminals.
Bi-wire Connections – Some Classic models have the capacity
to be bi-wired. These speakers have two sets of input terminals
connected by metal “straps.” Bi-wiring requires using two separate
speaker wires for each speaker. The RED “positive” (+) leads of
both LEFT channel wires are tied together and inserted into the
same RED “positive” (+) terminals of the amplifier’s LEFT channel.
On the LEFT speaker, the metal “straps” are removed. One of the
two speaker wires is connected to the top set of terminals (RED
to RED and BL ACK to BL ACK) while the other speaker wire is
connected to the lower set of terminals in the same manner.
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 Klipsch to make sure your
particular amplifier is best suited to your application. We want you
listening for a lifetime.

Your speakers have a durable vinyl or real wood veneer finish that
should only require dry dusting or cleaning with a damp
cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and
harsh detergents. The brush attachment of your vacuum or a
slightly damp sponge should remove any dust from your speaker
grilles.
