Welcome to the Klipsch line of Professional Theater Speaker Systems!

Since the earliest days of amplified sound systems, Klipsch has utilized the latest concepts in loudspeaker design, surpassing the expectations of concurrent fidelity. Today, by combining our design excellence with a solid tradition of sonic reproduction quality, Klipsch provides a comprehensive family of professional theater speakers, ranging from compact systems perfect for small auditoriums, mixing suites and viewing rooms, to large four-way horn-loaded systems applicable for installation in the largest cinema venues.

In Klipsch designs, you will find technical updates on traditional high quality cinema sound systems, taking into consideration the digital sound sources of today. Thanks to the Klipsch Tractrix® Horns used on high frequency and mid-bass components, the Klipsch Professional Theater Speaker Systems offer wider dynamics, controlled coverage, smoother power transfer functions, lower distortion and superior efficiency, all in a broad range of available systems.

Screen Sound System Setup and Alignment

After assembling the speakers, but prior to operation, be sure that wiring connections are correct and that the installed systems are free from problems, utilizing the following steps:

1) At the loudspeaker component end of the cable run, "short" the positive and negative connections for each frequency section together, and verify that your resistance meter reads the short when measured from the amplifier end.

2)Verify that all amplifier channels and speaker components have been wired correctly and are in proper polarity.

3)Set the electronic crossover and amplifier channels as per manufacturer recommended settings. Refer to the speaker component specifications for each system.

4)With a low level pink noise or frequency generator signal source, verify that the low frequency amplifier and processor outputs for each of the systems is feeding the proper speaker component(s). Do the same for all of the amplifier and speaker sections, across all of the installed systems.

5)After pre-testing the system as indicated above, verifying operation and completing a basic gain staging setup, to check for rattles, buzzes or vibrations from the hardware, use a variable frequency oscillator or pink noise source to "sweep" the system between 20Hz and 1000Hz at LOW, MEDIUM, and then HIGH volume.

6)Complete a preliminary gain staging of the entire system per applicable processor specifications, then verify that component aiming properly addresses listening requirements throughout the house.

7) Complete proper final gain staging per processor recommendations.
