CONVENTIONAL CONNECTION — Using 16—gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the RED “positive”
(+) terminal of the LEFT speaker to the RED “positive” terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel.
Connect the BLACK “negative” (—) terminal of the LEFT speaker to the BLACK “negative” (—)
terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel. Repeat this procedure for connecting all remaining
speakers to the appropriate amplifier channels. Refer to Figure 4. Make sure that no bare wires
from any of the connections touch any other terminals as this could casue a short and damage

ROOM PLACEMENT
Subwoofers - Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to
reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your
movies and music come alive. For optimum performance, place your
subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front
channel speakers. (refer to Figure 1). Please note that room
placement can have a dramatic effect on the performance of your
powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will
increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer
along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the
amount of bass output. Experiment with a number of different
placement options and control settings to find the one that best
suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your subwoofer’s
location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofer’s
built-in amplifier to an AC power outlet.

ROOM PLACEMENT
Before You Start — Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other accessories
that may need to be installed prior to use. Please refer to Diagrams 1, 2 and 3
for installation.
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers — For optimum performance, Klipsch
suggests placing your speakers 6 to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart and at lease 24
inches (60.8cm) from the back and side walls. They may also be toed in slightly
for better stereo imaging. The listening position should be about 1 to 1.5 times
the distance separating the speakers. Refer to Figures 2 and 4 for connection
and placement.
Center Channel Speakers — Center channel speakers are designed to place
dialogue and primary sounds so that they appear to come from the video screen.
The speakers should therefore be placed as close to the sceen as possible,
preferably directly on top of or below the screen. Refer to Figures 2, 3 and 4
for connection and placement.
Rear Surround Channel Speakers — Klipsch WDST
TM
surround speakers should
be placed approximately 2 feet above the listening position. Typically this will
be about 5-7 feet above the floor. The surrounds should be placed on the walls
directly adjacent to the listening position. Another option would be on the wall
behind the listening position. The final surround speaker placement depends
on your room’s characteristics. They are designed to recreate the sense of
space and ambience that many of today’s surround sound technologies
provided. Refer to Diagram 4 and Figures 2 and 4 for connection and placement.
