KLIPSCH CONTRACTOR ALL-WEATHER LOUDSPEAKERS (CA-525T, CA-650T, CA-800T) The Klipsch Reference All-Weather loudspeakers are two-way designs using a high performance bass driver for the low frequencies. [. . . ] For a higher quality stereo image, angle down, or toe in, the speakers toward the primary listening area. This is especially important in installations that place the speakers well above ear level. Some additional bass will result if you place the speakers in a corner or near a wall. This provides greater bass coupling due to the additional reflected energy from the walls. (CA-800-TSW) The CA-800-TSW can be installed in a large variety of locations due to bass frequencies being less directional than high frequencies. You will achieve better results if it is installed in a corner or near a wall where additional energy can be reflected from the walls. WALL MOUNTING WARNING: Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this device. Included with your speakers are "C" style mounting brackets constructed of weatherresistant, powder-coated zinc. These brackets attach to the speaker with the supplied low profile knobs that thread onto the top and bottom studs protruding from the cabinet. This allows the speaker to be angled to the left or right when mounted vertically, or up and down when mounted horizontally. After determining the desired location and orientation of your speakers, remove the bracket from the loudspeaker and use it as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes.
