User manual KLIPSCH SERIES II

[. . . ] The integral stand allows the speaker to be placed on top of the TV (or on a shelf just above or below it) or mounted on the wall (see wall mounting instructions). Ideally, the speaker's front baffle should be flush with the front of the screen. see stand adjustment section for more detail. Front Left and Right Speakers: The front left and right speakers should be approximately in line with your video screen and equidistant from it. [. . . ] Again, thank you for choosing Klipsch and we hope that your speakers bring life to your music and movies for many years. Surround Back Speakers: If your electronics support Dolby Digital EX, THX Surround EX, or DTSES 7. 1-channel surround, you can place one or two speakers behind the seating area to serve as surround back speakers. As with the left and right surrounds, the optimum location is above seated ear level. If you are using just one back surround speaker, it should be centered behind the listening area; if you are using two, they should be spaced fairly close together. With this type of system, the regular left and right surrounds should be located adjacent to the seating area rather than behind it. STAND ADJUSTMENT AND WALL MOUNTING The RVX-42's attach to their stands via a bolt that allows them to be used in either the vertical orientation as they are shipped for shelf top use or horizontally, as is typical for center channel use. To adjust the base, remove the stand bolt tool from the rear of the unit and remove the bolt from the stand. Reposition the stand in the center mounting point and then replace the stand bolt tool in the opening that the stand bolt was previously installed within. BUT FIRST: TYPES OF CONNECTORS Bare wire -- Pull the two conductors apart for about an inch and strip approximately 1/4" 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. Screw #8 pan head wood screws (at least two inches in length) into a wood stud or dry wall anchors with the appropriate load rating. Leave the screw heads protruding from the wall surface approximately 1/4" and adjust as needed when hanging the speaker. Hook the speaker keyholes on the screw heads protruding from the wall. Fine tune the speaker's angle if using an optional wall mount that fits the provided 3/8" ­ 16 inserts. CONNECTIONS Note: Proper connection of your speakers to your amplifier or receiver is vital to obtaining good sound quality. Figure 3 Klipsch Reference Series speakers are wired internally with 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 similar quality wire available from your dealer. we recommend that you use 18-gauge or heavier (lowergauge) 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. Most pre-terminated speaker cables have color-coded connectors that make it easy to match output and inputs correctly. If yours do not, or if you are making your own out of paired, two-conductor wire, look for identifying marks on the insulation of the two conductors.
