knobs. Be sure to leave enough clearance between the end of the
bracket and any adjacent wall or ceiling for installation of the knobs.
If a wall stud is not available, use the appropriate type of
drywall or masonry anchor to support the weight of the
speaker, allowing for a generous safety margin.
You may also use an optional wall or ceiling mount that will
fit the provided 3/8" – 16 inserts. Please see your authorized
Klipsch dealer to see which model is right for you.
CONNECTIONS
When making any type of speaker wire connection, be sure to observe
proper polarity. Most speaker wire and connectors are color-coded.
Typically, red is positive (+) and black is negative (–), or ground. It
does not matter which wire conductor is connected to the positive or
negative connection of your equipment as long as it is consistent.
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. Push in the spring-loaded speaker terminal and insert
the corresponding wire. Release the terminal and the wire will
be securely held in place. 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.

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. (See Figure 1.)

PAINTING
The grille and cabinet of your speakers may be painted. For
best results, lightly sand all surfaces to be painted (cabinet and
grille) with 300-400 grit sandpaper. Wash these surfaces with
a moistened cloth dipped into a mild detergent to remove any
fingerprints or grease. Allow speaker to dry before painting.
Care must be taken to mask off the front of the speaker to protect
the tweeter, woofer and front panel from overspray. This will
maintain the existing uniform dark color behind the grille and protect
the woofer and tweeter from being damaged by the paint. Affix
masking tape to the inboard wall of the grille groove and attach
plastic or newspaper to the tape to cover the entire front panel
of the speaker. Also before painting, mask the speaker wire push
terminals on the rear of the cabinet to preserve their conductivity.
Remove the grill set screws, grille and speaker terminal cover
before painting. For best results, use several light coats of
paint instead of one heavy coat. This will help prevent the
perforations in the grille from becoming clogged with paint.
