SPEAKER CONNECTION

IMPORTANT!

 Turn your amplifier or receiver 

OFF 

before connecting your speakers. This will avoid 
damage which could result from accidental shorting 
of the speaker cables.

The loudspeaker binding posts can be used with 

banana, pin or spade connectors, as well as with 

bare wire. Tighten the posts firmly by hand but do 

not over tighten! 

Correct polarity (or phase) is critical for proper 
imaging and bass performance. Connect one 
speaker at a time to ensure proper connection. 

The red (+) amplifier terminal must be connected 

to the red (+) speaker terminal. The same applies 
to the black (–) terminals. Make sure all wires 

are firmly fastened. Repeat this connection 

procedure for each speaker. Once connected, it’s 

a good idea to go back and double check each 
connection for correct polarity. 

BREAK-IN

Your KLH Model Five loudspeakers will sound great right out-of-the-box. But since your new speakers include many moving 

parts, these parts need time to adjust to one another and therefore some amount of “break-in” is required. In order for your 

loudspeakers to sound their best, KLH recommends the speakers to be played at a moderate volume for at least 8 hours prior to 

any critical listening.
