WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. KLIPSCH CONTRACTOR ALL-WEATHER LOUDSPEAKERS (CA-525T, CA-650T, CA-800T) The Klipsch Reference All-Weather loudspeakers are two-way designs using a high performance bass driver for the low frequencies. A Tractrix Horn with a 90° x 90° coverage pattern is attached to a 1" diameter compression driver for clean and efficient reproduction of the high and midrange frequencies. (CA-800-TSW) The CA-800-TSW is an innovative approach that delivers low frequency sound in outdoor applications. [. . . ] 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. Please consult your dealer, custom installer or building contractor in these situations. 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. ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE Thank you for your purchase of Klipsch outdoor loudspeakers.

CONNECTIONS The CA-525T, CA-650T, CA-800T and CA-800TSW include a multi-tap transformer for 70 or 100 volt installations. There is also a bypass position that allows normal 8 ohm operation for installations that do not require a transformer. The switch is on the back of the speaker and can be set using a small flat head screwdriver. Make the appropriate tap selection as indicated below: CA-525T (Transformer Power Rating: 30W) 70V: 30W, 15W, 7. 5W, 3. 7W, 1. 7W 100V: 30W, 15W, 7. 5W, 3. 7W Bypass Position: 8 ohm Nominal CA-650T / CA-800T / CA-800TSW (Transformer Power Rating: 60W) 70V: 60W, 30W, 15W, 7. 5W, 3. 7W 100V: 60W, 30W, 15W, 7. 5W Bypass Position: 8 ohm Nominal When making any type of speaker wire connection, be sure to observe proper polarity. 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. 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 with paint. A Figure 2 B BUT FIRST: TYPES OF CONNECTORS Your speaker is equipped with barrier strip connectors for inputs. Make sure that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two lugs. Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in amplifier malfunction or damage. An optional Weatherization and Safety kit is available from your Klipsch dealer. You may want to install this in instances where the speaker connections are directly exposed to the elements. This kit also includes a security cable that provides a secondary measure of safety. WARRANTY--U. S. AND CANADA ONLY The Warranty below is valid only for sales to consumers in the United States or Canada. [. . . ] Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or 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. Care must be taken to mask off the front of the speaker to protect the tweeter, woofer and front panel from overspray. [. . . ]
