KPT-801

The Klipsch KPT-801 is a two-way design using a high perfor-
mance bass driver for the low frequencies. A Tractrix Horn 
with a 90° x 90° coverage pattern is attached to a 1” diam-
eter compression driver for clean and efficient reproduction 
of the high and midrange frequencies.

WALL MOUNTING

Included with your speakers are “C” style mounting brackets 
constructed of powder-coated zinc. These brackets attach to 
the speaker with the supplied low profile knobs that thread 
onto the top and bottom studs protruding from the cabinet. 
This allows the speaker to be angled to the left or right when 
mounted vertically, or up and down when mounted horizon-
tally. When mounting horizontally, lock nuts are provided for 
both studs for optimum speaker stability.

After determining the desired location and orientation of 
your speakers, remove the bracket from the loudspeaker 
and use it as a template to mark the location of the mount-
ing holes. Check the alignment of the holes with a torpedo 
level before drilling the pilot hole. Please observe local and/
or federal codes in securing the bracket, especially when 
suspending objects above people’s heads. Once the bracket 
is secured, affix the speaker to the bracket with the supplied 
knobs. 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 con-
sult 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. 

PLACEMENT

CONNECTIONS

When making any type of speaker wire connection, be sure 
to observe proper polarity. Most speaker wire and connec-
tors are color-coded. Typically, red is positive (+) and black is 
negative (–), or ground. It does not matter which wire con-
ductor is connected to the positive or negative connection of 
your equipment as long as it is consistent.

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 malfunc-
tion or damage.

On the back wall, the first surrounds are 
placed 1.5 meters from the side walls, then 
each surround is placed 3 meters from each 
other until they meet in the middle. (Even 
space them) so you are as close to 3 meters 
distance between them as possible.
