User manual KLIPSCH KSP400

[. . . ] Front Left and Right Speakers: The front left and right speakers should be approximately in line with your video screen and equidistant from it. The distance from the screen is not critical, though wide separation will tend to make the sound more spacious. Avoid having either speaker closer than 2 feet to a side wall, and if they are on shelves or in a cabinet, place them so that their fronts are at least flush with the cabinet's front. Place them at seated ear height, or, if that is not practical, adjust the stands' ball joints to aim them up or down toward the listening position. [. . . ] Like all Klipsch products, your satellite speakers feature Klipsch Horn-loaded Technology--the guiding design for the first Klipschorn® developed in 1946 and for every product that has followed. Horn-loading allows your speakers to deliver high sensitivity, low distortion, flat frequency response and wide dispersion, which translates to unequaled power, detail and dynamics, the hallmarks of "The Klipsch Sound. " Please be sure to fill out the warranty card at the back of this manual or online at www. Again, thank you for choosing Klipsch and we hope that your speakers bring life to your music and movies for many years. STAND ADJUSTMENT AND WALL MOUNTING The speakers attach to their stands via a ball joint that allows them to be swiveled over a wide range. Each stand also incorporates an adjustable down stop to prevent the speaker from drooping after its angle is adjusted. You can access the head of this down stop from the bottom side of the stand. BUT FIRST: TYPES OF CONNECTORS B a re wire -- Pull the two conductors apart for about an inch and strip approximat e ly 1/4" of i n s u l ation from the end of each. (A wire stripper will simplify this, but you can use an ordinary pocket knife to cut around and through the insulation down to the wire. ) Twist the strands of wire on each individual conductor tightly together. Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts until the holes through the metal posts are exposed, then insert the bare wire through the holes. If the speaker will be mounted over the location where the speaker wire emerges from the wall, thread the wire through the hole in the speaker base's snap-on cover by removing the cosmetic plug. Store the wrench in the bottom of the base cover and reinstall it into the speaker base. CONNECTIONS Note: Proper connection of your speakers to your amplifier or receiver is vital to obtaining good sound quality. Klipsch Reference Series speakers are wired internally with Bandwidth Balanced® Monster Cable®. bandwidth Balanced technology employs multiple gauges of high-purity copper wire , c a r e f u l lyselected and wound to ensure optimum signal transfer at all frequencies. You will obtain best perfo r m a n c e from your speakers if you connect them to your amplifier or receiver with Monster Cable or similar quality wire av a i l able from your dealer. we recommend that you use 18-gauge or heavier (lowergauge) stranded copper wire. Use a lower gauge (heavier) wire for longer runs to reduce the amount of amplifier power lost due to the wire's resistance. Figure 3 Most pre-terminated speaker cables have color-coded connectors that make it easy to match output and inputs correctly. If yours do not, or if you are making your own out of paired, two-conductor wire, look for identifying marks on the insulation of the two conductors. Normally there will be printing, a stripe or a molded ridge along one of the conductors.
