HOW TO CONNECT THE KSB-S1 SURROUND SPEAKERS
Switch your electronics OFF when making all connections! To properly use surround channel speakers,
your receiver, or signal processor, must have a designated surround channel output. Connect your KSB-
S1 to the “Rear” or “Surround” channel output terminals of your system’s power amplifier. When con¬
necting rear channel speakers to a 5.1 channel system (Dolby Digital or DTS), be sure to connect the
right and left rear speakers to the appropriate right and left rear channels, as these systems have stereo
surround effects.
Be sure to observe proper polarity (+ to + and - to -) and avoid having excess bare wire at the connec¬
tors 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 connection of your equipment as long as you are consistent. Be sure that the con¬
nections from the amp to the speaker on all of the various channels of your system are connected in a
like manner. 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.
If one speaker in a stereo pair is out of phase relative to the other (one speaker has the positive and
negative terminals reversed), you will hear no center stereo image and a reduction in the bass. To
remedy this, check all the connections to make sure both speakers are connected to the amplifier in
the same fashion, with positive to positive and negative to negative. High quality 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.
