UNPACKING The easiest way to remove the speaker from its carton is to turn the open side of the box down so that it is resting on a table or the floor, with the flaps spread out and away. Remove any packing material from the speaker, place it back in the carton, and store in case you ever need to ship the loudspeaker. pLACEMENT The best locations for Klipsch Wide Dispersion Surround TechnologyTM surround speakers in a typical 5. [. . . ] Klipsch Reference Series speakers are wired internally with Bandwidth BalancedTM Monster® Cable. bandwidth Balanced technology employs multiple gauges of highpurity 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 Monster Cable or similar quality wire available from your dealer. we recommend that you use 16-gauge or heavier 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. bUTFIRST: TYPES OF CONNECTORS Bare wire. Pull the two conductors apart for about an inch and strip approximately 1/4-inch 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. ) Twist the strands of wire on each individual conductor tightly together. Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts until the holes through the metal posts are exposed, then insert the bare wire through the holes. Screw the nuts down finger-tight on the wire. Make sure that no strands of wire are touching from one binding post to the other or to any strands from the other conductor. Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in amplifier malfunction or damage. Many pre-made speaker cables are terminated with metal pins. Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts until the holes through the metal posts are exposed, then insert the pins through the holes. Screw the nuts down finger-tight on the pins -- do not overtighten. Make sure that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two pins or binding posts. Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in amplifier malfunction or damage. Some speaker cables are terminated with U-shaped connectors called spade lugs. Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts and slip the spade lugs around the metal posts. Screw the nuts down finger-tight on the lugs and inspect to ensure they have remained firmly in place. Make sure that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two lugs or binding posts.
