HOW TO CONNECT
Switch your electronics OFF when making all
connections! Connect your KHO-7 speakers to the
“Front” or “Main” left and right channels of your
system’s power amplifier. Be sure to observe proper
polarity (+ to + and - to -) and avoid having excess bare
wire at the connectors, which could short together
causing possible amplifier damage. Refer to “About
Speaker Wire Connections”
ABOUT SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS
When making any type of speaker wire connection,
be sure to observe proper polarity. Most speaker wire
is color-coded or has some distinguishing feature
differentiating the two conductors. Speaker wire
connectors on most loudspeakers and amplifiers are
also 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 connections of your equipment as long as
you are consistent. Be sure that the connections from
the amp to the speaker on all of the various channels
of your system are connected in a like manner. If this
is not done, the amount of bass will be reduced and
the stereo image will be compromised. Be careful
not to have excess bare wire or loose strands of wire
that could short from positive to negative as this
could damage the speaker and amplifier. High quality
speaker cable can make an audible improvement in the
sound of your speakers. Your Klipsch dealer can assist
you in selecting the proper cable to ensure optimal
performance from your loudspeakers.
PAINTING
The grille and cabinet of your KHO-7 may be painted
to match the exterior decor of your house or to blend
in with the surrounding environment. For best results,
properly prepare the surface before painting. Lightly
sand all surfaces to be painted (cabinet and grille)
with 300-400 grit sand paper. Wash these surfaces
with a moistened cloth dipped into a mild detergent to
remove any fingerprints or grease. Allow 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
over-spray. 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 binding posts on the
rear of the cabinet to preserve the color-coding and
conductivity. Make sure that the black and red knobs
are screwed down to cover the threaded metal shafts
and wrap the knobs securely in masking tape.
Remove the grille 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 in paint.
