Klipsch Procinema Owners manual

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.

Included in the following pages are installation instructions for the Klipsch
family of professional theater sound products. If you have any questions or
need more information, please contact Klipsch directly at 1-800-KLIPSCH.
Our technical support staff will be happy to assist you.

Sincerely

Mechanical Installation Drawings for KPT-484
and KPT-684

Please refer to figures. 22 and 23. These figures provide dimensions
required for creating baffles or for proper placement behind the screen.

Connectors can be made to the system by using the terminator panel
located on top of the unit.

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:

KPT-684

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.

Mechanical Installation Drawings for KPT-250,
KPT-200 and KPT-100 Surround Sound Speakers

Please refer to the following drawings for installation details: Figures
17, 18, 19 and 20.

The bolt locations shown in "A" on Fig. 17 are common to models
KPT-250, KPT-200 and KPT-100 surround sound speakers, and are
used when mounting the speakers using a Goldberg bracket. The bolt
hole locations shown at "B" in Fig. 17 are used when mounting the
speakers using either an APC or OmniMount bracket.

Surround Sound System Installation

Installation drawings for the surround sound speaker systems are
located in the following section. All of the systems are pre-assembled
for installation on-site, and include passive frequency dividing
networks. Please refer to the specification page for power and
impedance information.

Connections to the internal passive frequency dividing networks are
made on the termination panel located in the top of the units. Note
that models KPT-200 and KPT-100 include internal SMPTE/ISO 2696
X-curve de-emphasis.

Klipsch surround speaker mounting hardware is designed for readily
available Goldberg, APC and OmniMount brackets.
