ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE

Thank you for your purchase of Klipsch bookshelf loudspeakers.After reading this manual and

connecting your system,you will hear the result of over 55 years of stringent engineering and

class-leading research and development.Like all Klipsch products,your bookshelf loudspeakers

feature Klipsch Tractrix

Horn-loaded Technology—the guiding design for the ﬁrst Klipschorn

developed in 1946 and for every product that has followed.Horn-loading allows your speakers

to deliver high sensitivity, low distortion, flat frequency response and wide dispersion,which

translates to unequaled power, detail and dynamics,the hallmarks of “The Klipsch Sound.”

Please be sure to ﬁll out the warranty card at the back of this manual or online at

www.klipsch.com so we are better able to serve you.Again,thank you for choosing Klipsch

and we hope that your speakers bring life to your music and movies for many years.

UNPACKING

The easiest way to remove the speaker from its carton is to turn the open end of the box down so

t h at it is resting on a table or the fl o o r, with the f ps spread out and a y. Then pull the boxl a w a

straight up and of Remove any packing material from the speaker and g place it back in thef . r i l l e ,

c a r t o n , and store in case you ever need to ship the loudspeaker. Attach the dome-shaped self-stick

pads on the bottom of the cabinet for shelf protection. (See Figure 1.) Align the magnetic posts on

the inside of the grille with the screws on the front of the speaker, and it will snap into place.

PLACEMENT

Although your Reference Series speakers will perform well in a wide variety of locations,you will

get the most out of them by following some simple guidelines:

• tPlace the front left and right speakers on shelves or stands with their tweeters a

approximately ear height for a seated listener. yUsed as surround-channel speakers,the

usually perform best when placed slightly higher than that.

• If you are installing your speakers in a cabinet,place them so their fronts are at least ﬂush

with the cabinet’s front.

• If possible,arrange both speakers so that they are equal distances from the ﬂoor and the wall

behind them.It can also help to have the left and right speakers at diﬀerent distances from

their nearest side walls.This sort of staggering helps smooth the bass range.

• Any speaker’s bass output and response is strongly inﬂuenced by its distance from room

boundaries,such as walls and the ﬂoor. Moving a speaker closer to a room boundary will

increase its bass output,while moving it away will reduce the bass.Following the suggestions

above will typically yield good results with Klipsch Reference Series bookshelf speakers,but

you may ﬁnd that you can “ﬁne-tune”the sound by moving them slightly from side to side or

front to back until music recordings with strong bass content sound just right to you.Don’t be

afraid to experiment.

Two-Channel Stereo System - Figure 2 shows a typical speaker arrangement for a two-channel

stereo system. A good starting point is to create an equilateral triangle with the speakers and your

listening position. Depending on the size of the room and the furniture arrangement, you may ﬁnd

it convenient to make the distance from the listening position to the line between the speakers

s o m e w h at larger or smaller, but try to keep it centered, so that you are at a y the samep p r o x i m at e l

distance from each speaker. T h at will yield the best stereo ima Angling widely spread speakersg e .

in slightly toward the listening position can help maintain a good stereo imag e .

Stereo Setup for Wide Coverage - If you are primarily interested in being able to hear the

sound well from any position in the room rather than from a particular seating area,you may

prefer to move the speakers far apart along adjoining walls,creating a big “L.”This will not

provide a very good stereo image,but it will give spacious,well-balanced sound with good

coverage.

Home Theater System - Figure 3 shows a typical home theater speaker setup,with a pair of

bookshelf speakers at the front left and right,a horizontal center-channel speaker between

them,and a pair of surround speakers on the side walls.The basic strategy for placing the front

left and right speakers is similar to the one described above for a two-channel stereo system,

but anchored by the video screen.Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be

a ypproximately in line with the screen and equidistant from it.Unless your video screen is ver

large,you may prefer less spread between the left and right speakers than in a dedicated stereo

music system.This may better associate the size of the sonic image with the video image.

Reference Series bookshelf speakers can also be used as surround-channel speakers. The best

l o c ation usually is high up, on the walls to the sides and slightly behind the seating area. yM a n

other placements can work surprisingly well, however — behind the listening area, for example,

or even on the ﬂoor facing up toward the ceiling in a pinch. Aiming the speakers toward your

listening area will emphasize speciﬁc rear channel sounds, while directing them a y from the w a

listening position will produce a g ter sense of spaciousness. Experiment and ﬁnd what r e a

sounds best to you.

WALL AND CEILING MOUNTING

Some models have threaded inserts for use with wall or ceiling brackets,as well as back-panel

keyholes for ﬂush wall-mounting.If you will be using brackets,see their instructions for mount-

ing details. To use the keyhole,all you need is a screw head of the appropriate size protruding

slightly from the wall.If possible,the screw should be driven into a wall stud; if not,be sure to

use anchors appropriate for the speaker’s weight in the drywall or plaster. (See ﬁgure 4.)

CONNECTIONS

Note: Proper connection of your speakers to your ampliﬁer or receiver is vital to obtaining good

sound quality. Please follow these directions carefully. Sloppy connections can cause ampliﬁer

malfunction or damage.

Klipsch Reference Series speakers are wired internally with Bandwidth Balanced

™

Monster

Cable.Bandwidth Balanced technology employs multiple gauges of high-purity copper wire,

carefully selected and wound to ensure optimum signal transfer at all frequencies.

You will obtain best performance from your speakers if you connect them to your ampliﬁer or

receiver with Monster Cable or similar quality wire available from your dealer. We recommend

that you use 16-gauge or heavier stranded copper wire.Use a lower gauge (heavier) wire for

longer runs to reduce the amount of ampliﬁer power lost due to the wire’s resistance.On the

back of each speaker are two sets of binding posts,one feeding the tweeter and the other the

woofer. For conventional wiring,these sets are connected together with gold-plated metal straps

or wire jumpers,which can be removed for bi-wiring or biamping. We will explain ordinary

single-wiring ﬁrst and then the alternatives.All the information regarding single-wiring also

applies to bi-wiring.

BUT FIRST: TYPES OF CONNECTORS

Bare wire. Pull the two conductors apart for about an inch and strip approximately 1/4-inch of

insulation from the end of each.(A wire stripper will simplify this,but you can use an ordinary

pocket knife to cut around and through the insulation down to the wire.) Twist the strands of

wire on each individual conductor tightly together. Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts

until the holes through the metal posts are exposed,then insert the bare wire through the holes.

Screw the nuts down ﬁnger-tight on the wire. Make sure that no strands of wire are touch-

ing from one binding post to the other or to any strands from the other conductor.

Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in ampliﬁer

malfunction or damage.

P i n s . M a ny pre-made speaker cables are terminated with metal pins. Loosen the nuts on a pair

of binding posts until the holes through the metal posts are exposed, then insert the pins through

the holes. Screw the nuts down ﬁnger-tight on the pins — do not overtighten. M a ke sure that

t h e r e is no metal-to-metal contact between the two pins or binding posts. Failure to

o b s e rve this precaution at either end of the connection can result in ampliﬁer malfunction

or damage.

Spade lugs. Some speaker cables are terminated with U-shaped connectors called spade lugs.

Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts and slip the spade lugs around the metal posts. Screw the

nuts down ﬁnger-tight on the lugs and inspect to ensure they have remained ﬁrmly in place. M a ke

s u re that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two lugs or binding posts. Failure to

o b s e rve this precaution at either end of the connection can result in ampliﬁer malfunction or

d a m a g e.
