User manual KLIPSCH KSP-C6

[. . . ] For optimum performance, please use the models ending with a "W" for in-wall installations. Models ending in "C" should be used for in-ceiling applications. Either type is suitable for use as front, center or surround channels in audio or home theater applications, or as part of a distributed sound system. Minimum Tools Required #2 Phillips Screwdriver Wire strippers Level Stud finder Saw IN-WALL SPEAKER PLACEMENT Designed to function in any standard wall, ceiling or drop ceiling, Klipsch in-wall speakers are engineered for years of performance. [. . . ] Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick (figure1). To maximize performance, speakers should be placed at an equal distance from the listener and along a common wall to ensure the best stereo effect. For background listening environments (or when the listening position may vary widely), speaker placement may be wherever is most convenient, although in these cases stereo imaging may be lost. IN-CEILING SPEAKER PLACEMENT Designed to function in any drywall or drop ceiling, Klipsch inceiling speakers are engineered for years of performance. Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick. In drop ceiling installations, typical "drop in" 2' x 4' and 2' x 2' ceiling tiles are composed of low density materials which have the potential over time to sag and vibrate audibly. To maximize the acoustic performance of your in-ceiling speakers, Klipsch recommends you replace the original mounting panel with 1/2" to 3/4" plywood or medium density fiberboard (MDF) (figure 2). WARNING: Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this device. Pivoting Horn (In-Wall Models) The 3000 and 5000 series feature a pivoting horn that allows the horn to be toed-in. It may be reinserted after the paint is dry. Care should be taken to avoid excessive paint build-up in the grille perforations. OPERATING CONTROLS Mid-Bass and Tweeter Attenuator Switch (3000 and 5000 Series) Some models feature a Tweeter switch (3000 series) or both a Mid-Bass and a Tweeter switch (5000 series) located on the front baffle. the switch allows a setting of either 0dB (normal) or ­3dB in the respective frequency range. If installing in an acoustically bright room, such as a bathroom or kitchen, you may want to adjust the Tweeter level switch. If the speaker is located in a corner and produces too much bass, you may need to adjust the Mid-Bass level switch. The position of the switch should always be checked prior to attaching the grille.

In some cases, modification to the mounting surface may be required where a new model is substituted. klipsch assumes no responsibility or liability for such modification.
