Cables, Crossovers and Connections
For best results connect your loudspeakers with purpose-designed loudspeaker cable.
The cables to both loudspeakers should be of equal lengths and be of a gauge
sufficient to drive the speakers comfortably without any loss of power in the bass at
high volumes.
We recommend a minimum wire diameter of 14 AWG. if you are in any doubt ask your
Klipsch dealer for advice. Because of the location of the terminal panel you should
connect the loudspeakers before you connect the amplifier. If you are replacing a
existing pair of loudspeakers we suggest you de-wire the amplifier first.
There are two Crossover Networks in the P-39F.
One panel is a dedicated bass network. The second panel is a network for the midrange and treble units . The
networks terminate in a custom designed tri wire terminal panel located above the loudspeaker pedestal
under the loudspeaker. As the bass, midrange and treble elements can be separately connected, three types of
wiring are possible- standard wiring, bi-wiring and tri wiring.
The terminal panel accepts a wide variety of connectors including spade lugs, pins or bare wire. If you have no
preference, your dealer can advise you as to appropriate connectors. The instructions in this user guide relate to
bare wire. If you use alternative connectors consult your dealer or the hardware supplier’s literature.
Standard loudspeaker cable comprises two conductors with one core having a ridge or
stripe. We suggest you connect the striped conductor to the Positive (RED) terminal in all
cases. This will ensure that the loudspeakers are properly connected and in phase.
Split the cable to a depth of 1½”. Strip ½” of insulation. If the wire is stranded, lightly twist
the ends together to ensure no stray ends of cable can short adjacent terminals.
Connecting a terminal
Partially unscrew the terminal.
1: In the base of the terminal there is a hole. Insert the bare end of the wire into the
hole.
2: Tighten each connector hand tight. After connecting all the terminals, check
that there are no stray strands of bare wire that can reach across and short out
adjacent terminals.
3: When you are sure that all the connections are correct, insert the Allen key into
the socket in each terminal head and tighten fully to secure them. DO NOT over-
tighten the terminals or you may damage them. (An Allen key (hex wrench) is
provided in the accessories carton).
