[. . . ] 1-channel system are on or against the walls to the sides of the seating area, anywhere from adjacent to the listening position to about 20 degrees behind. )It is also desirable that they be mounted above the ear height of seated listeners (5'-7' high). Their WDSTTM design allows great flexibility, however, and good results can be achieved with configurations that depart significantly from the ideal. The speakers can even be mounted on the ceiling if necessary using an adjustable bracket (not included) connected to the threaded insert onl y. [. . . ] 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 mounting 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 appropriate anchors in the drywall or plaster. SPEAKERS TO AMPLIFIER:KEEPING IT STRAIGHT One of the most important things about hooking up your speakers is keeping them in the same polarity, or phase. If they are connected out of phase, bass and sound imaging will be degraded. The easiest way to ensure that your speakers are wired in phase is to always connect the positive and negative output terminals on your amplifier or receiver to the matching input terminals on your speakers:positive ("+", color-coded red) to positive and negative ("­", color-coded black) to negative. ) Most pre-terminated speaker cables have color-coded connectors that make it easy to match output and inputs correctl y. 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. Normally there will be printing, a stripe or a molded ridge along one of the conductors. CONNECTIONS Note: Proper connection of your speakers to your amplifier or receiver is vital to obtaining good sound quality. Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in amplifier malfunction or damage. BASS MANAGEMENT SETTINGS Surround-sound receivers and processors use what is known as bass management to ensure that low frequencies in the various channels are sent to speakers that can handle them well and away from small speakers that cannot. Any of the Klipsch Reference Series surround speakers can be set to Large in your receiver or processor's speaker setup menu if necessary. But if your system includes a good powered subwoofer or floorstanding front left and right speakers, you probably will get better overall performance by using the Small setting and letting the sub or the front speakers handle the low bass, especially when the woofers in the surrounds are less than 6. CARE AND CLEANING The only thing you should ever need to do to your speakers is dust them occasionally. Never apply any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner or any harsh detergent. You can clean the grilles with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner. AND CANADA ONLY The Warranty below is valid only for sales to consumers in the United States or Canada.
