[. . . ] A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] As a result, the La Scala's only sonic compromise as compared to the Klipschorn is a slightly higher bass cutoff. UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY Heresy III and Cornwall III The Heresy III and Cornwall III models are large, heavy speakers. It is recommended that two people be used to unpack and install these models. Open the top carton flaps, invert the carton and pull it up and off of the speaker. Remove the internal packing and save all for future use. The Klipschorn and La Scala II low and high frequency cabinets are shipped in two separate cartons. Unpacking and setup will require two people. The Klipschorn and LaScala II high and low frequency cabinets are matched by serial number for proper acoustic performance. Please take care to match upper and lower cabinet serial numbers when assembling these loudspeakers. La Scala II and Klipschorn low frequency cabinet: After opening the top flaps of the low frequency carton, invert the carton and lift it off of the speaker cabinet. Remove the inner packing and plastic sheeting. The top of the cabinet, with it's three rubber bumpers, should be facing up (See Figure 1 & 2). If proper corners are not available in your listening room, false corners can be constructed to yield bass performance similar to a full corner and also allow for some adjustment of toe-in if desired. Start with a 2' x 4' framework as shown in figure 3. Klipsch recommends using standard 4 foot wide sheets of 3/4" plywood securely glued and nailed to the framework. The backside may be covered with a thinner material such as 3/16" masonite or 1/2" plywood. Paint to match wall color, or finish with a laminate or other material (See Figure 3). In the case of very wide spacing, a false corner can be employed on one of the Klipschorns to reduce the distance between speakers. Another solution to widely spaced Klipschorn loudspeakers in an audio only system is the addition of a center speaker such as the La Scala to create a threespeaker stereo array. Please contact Klipsch Technical Support at 1-800-554-7724 for connection details. La Scala The La Scala II features a self-contained, front-firing, folded bass horn to permit placement out of the corner if required. However, because this model has less bass extension than the Klipschorn®, the low frequency, acoustic reinforcement of corner placement may be optimal. The La Scala also offers full flexibility with regard to the amount of toe-in achievable for the desired stereo image. [. . . ] · Your loudspeakers are equipped with positive (Red) and negative (Black) connection terminals, on the rear or side of the cabinet. These correspond to the positive and negative terminals on the appropriate channel (left, right, center, rear, etc. ) of your amplifier. · All speakers in your system must be connected in phase with the positive speaker terminal connected to the positive amplifier terminal. Repeat this for the negative speaker terminal and amplifier terminals. [. . . ]
