Each Klipsch product is individually tested for sonic quality and inspected for superior appearance before it leaves the Hope, Arkansas factory. Your loudspeaker left the factory in perfect condition in packaging carefully engineered to protect both the working parts and finish. However, in certain extreme circumstances, the products may be damaged in transit. To ensure that your loudspeaker is in its original condition, please inspect it immediately. If any damage is discovered, notify the transportation company responsible for safe delivery. Make a request for inspection and hold the product in its original shipping carton for the inspector. After a joint inspection report is made, file a claim with the transportation company. Klipsch KAW1. 1 All-weather Speakers The KAW1. 1 speaker is a two-way design using a horn-loaded high frequency compression driver, complementing a high performance bass driver for the low frequencies. A breakthrough in horn design, Klipsch engineers developed an all-new Tractrix® Horn with a 90º x 40º coverage pattern for enhanced outdoor performance. This horn is attached to a 1" diameter diaphragm compression driver for clean and efficient reproduction of the high and midrange frequencies. The KAW1. 1's design provides precise imaging and exceptional detail in the critical vocal ranges. With high efficiency, low distortion, controlled coverage and flat frequency response, the KAW1. 1 delivers the sound Klipsch is famous for. 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. 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 connections 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 amount of 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 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 YOUR KAW1. 1 The grille and cabinet of your KAW1. 1 may be painted to match the exterior decor of your house or to blend in with the surrounding environment. [. . . ] 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. 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. [. . . ]
