ROOM PLACEMENT

CONNECTION

Left and Right Main Channel Speakers

 — For optimum 

performance, Klipsch Group, Inc. (KGI) suggests placing your 
speakers 6 to 15 feet (1.8 to 4.6m) apart. They may also be toed-in 
slightly for better stereo imaging. The listening position should be 
about 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the speakers. Refer to 
Figures 1 and 3 for connection and placement.

Center Channel Speakers

 — Center channel speakers are designed to 

place dialogue and primary sounds so that they appear to come from 
the video screen. The speakers should therefore be placed as close 
to the screen as possible, preferably directly on top of or below the 
screen. Refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3 for connection and placement.

Rear Surround Channel Speakers

 — Klipsch WDST surround speakers 

should be placed approximately 2 feet above the listening position. 
Typically this will be about 5-7 feet above the floor. The surrounds 
should be placed on the walls directly adjacent to the listening position. 
Another option would be on the wall behind the listening position. 
The final surround speaker placement depends on your room’s 
characteristics. They are designed to recreate the sense of space and 
ambience that many of today’s surround sound technologies provide. 
Refer to Figures 1, 3 and 4 for connection and placement. 

Please note that surround grilles are fixed and cannot be removed.

 

Conventional Connection

 — Using 16-12 gauge speaker wire, connect 

the RED “positive” (+) terminal of the LEFT speaker to the RED 
“positive” (+) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel. Connect the 
BLACK “negative”  (–) terminal of the LEFT speaker to the BLACK 
“negative” (–) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel. Repeat this 
procedure for connecting all remaining speakers to the appropriate 
amplifier channels. Refer to Figure 3. Make sure that no bare wires 
from any of the connections touch any other terminals as this could 
cause a short and damage your equipment.

Some Klipsch Reference speakers come with dual binding posts that 
are connected by a metal strip. Do not remove this strip or your 
speakers will not function correctly. Keep this strip in place and 
connect your speaker wire to the top set of the binding posts. It is 
possible to “Bi-wire” a speaker that has two sets of binding posts. 
Please see your receiver’s manual for further instructions.

Amplifier Requirements

 —  Klipsch speakers are highly efficient and 

will operate easily on a wide variety of amplifiers. All Klipsch speakers 
are 8-ohm compatible and can be driven to very high levels with low 
distortion. Due to the high output levels Klipsch speakers are capable 
of reproducing, exercise caution with the volume control. Excessive 
volume over long periods can permanently damage your hearing. 
Overdriving your amplifier could also damage your speakers. Check with 
your dealer or amplifier manual to make sure your particular amplifier 
is best suited to your application. We want you listening for a lifetime.
