User manual KLIPSCH PALLADIUM

[. . . ] USE only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. UNPLUG this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. REFER all servicing to qualified service personnel. [. . . ] In any case, the method of connection is the same. Prepare the crossover panel as shown on the previous page. Proceed as with standard wiring, but connect one cable to the bass terminals of the speaker. Connect a second cable to the midrange and treble terminals. After connection, tighten all the terminals with the supplied wrench as shown previously. Standard Connection Bi-wiring Connection HF AMPLIFIER Right Speaker No preparation needed Loosen the terminals. Remove the straps Re-tighten all terminals hand tight Left Speaker Bi-amping Connecting each loudspeaker drive element to separate amplification offers the highest possible performance level. It is not necessary for the amplifiers in the treble and bass sections to be identical. In fact for tube amplifier enthusiasts, there are advantages to using smaller amplifiers in the treble and midrange sections as the smaller transformers offer the significant possibility of extended, sweeter treble response. Standard (Single) Wiring The straps are left in place as supplied. Connection may be made to any pair of terminals. You will need two loudspeaker cables of equal lengths, one for each loudspeaker. Partially unscrew one positive and one negative terminal. There is a third spike seat for use with either of the two rear spikes. The long-barrel rear spike should be used in applications where the speaker needs to be positioned either flat or with a degree of downward tilt. The short-barrel rear spike should be used in applications where the speaker needs to be positioned with a degree of upward tilt. This will often be the case in installations where the speaker is placed below a large projection screen. Method: Run the textured collar halfway down the threaded shaft away from the spike point. Insert the shaft into the plinth and screw in tight. Now run the collar up to the plinth and lock it finger tight. Hint: If you feel that you may have to move the speakers around a lot before you get them exactly right, it is advisable to start out with the spikes resting in their spike seats. This will allow you to easily slide the speakers on a hard floor surface After finalizing the speaker position, you can then mark the position of the feet and remove the spike seats. Phase Phase is not a matter of preference. Out-of-phase effects manifest themselves as poorly defined bass, poor stereo with very vague localization of instruments and voice, and generally fuzzy, ill-defined sound. A singlewired out of phase system is easy to detect; a bi-amped system with one element connected out of phase can be nearly impossible to track down. [. . . ] Occasionally, and to remove fingermarks etc. , wipe the cabinets with a barely damp clean soft cloth and finish with a lint free polishing cloth. NEVER use any form of spray, furniture polish, saturated polishing cloth, or the like. Doing so will dull and streak the fine finish of the cabinets. Do NOT use a vacuum cleaner to clean the grilles while they are installed on the cabinet. [. . . ]
