To duplicate all the effects movie directors and sound engineers have built into today's films, you need faithful reproduction of the original signals, precise directional information and accurate dynamic detail. Klipsch design specifies that each of its speakers meet these criteria. The resulting wide and evenly dispersed soundfield is perfectly suited for rear channel surround applications. This unique Klipsch approach is ideal for the latest multi-channel (Dolby Digital® and DTS®) soundtracks on DVD and laser disc formats, making Klipsch truly "Digital Ready. " PLACEMENT OF THE KSF-S5 SURROUND SPEAKERS One of the principle advantages of Klipsch's unique Wide-Dispersion Surround Technology is greater placement flexibility. Due to the full 180° coverage pattern, you can place the KSF-S5s on the rear wall, side walls or even on the ceiling. The most common placement is on the side walls, adjacent to the listening/viewing area, or on the rear wall facing the front of the room. When placed at the rear of the room, leave at least one foot of clearance from the side walls. A height of approximately five to seven feet from the floor to the base of the cabinet is recommended. An alternative placement would be on the ceiling, either directly above or several feet behind the listening area. The drivers can be oriented with the front and rear of the room, or with the side walls to compensate for room shape and layout. Optimal surround speaker placement is highly dependent upon individual room layout and the resulting acoustics. Experiment with speaker placement until you achieve a desirable balance of envelopment and directional cues. Consult your Klipsch dealer for more specific guidance on placement to suit your particular home theater room. Wall Mounting Mounting your KSF-S5 to a wall can be accomplished by using the supplied keyhole brackets on the rear of the cabinet. [. . . ] Connect your KSBS5 to the "Rear" or "Surround" channel output terminals of your system's power amplifier. When connecting 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 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. [. . . ]
