three-speaker stereo array. It provides the full range bass
response of the Klipschorn with sensitivity and output
approaching the fully horn-loaded models. Like the Heresy, the
Cornwall is a three-way design utilizing horn-loaded compres-
sion drivers for midrange and treble frequencies and a direct
radiating 15-inch woofer for the low frequencies.
HERESY III
First introduced in 1957, the Heresy started life as a compact
center channel speaker for the Klipschorn in three-speaker
stereo arrays. The Heresy is a compact, three-way design that
uses horn-loaded compression drivers for midrange and treble
reproduction and a direct radiating 12-inch woofer for the low
frequencies.
UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY
Heresy III and Cornwall III
The Heresy III and Cornwall III models are large, heavy speak-
ers. It is recommended that two people unpack and install
these models. Open the top carton flaps, invert the carton and
pull it up and off of the speaker. Remove the internal packing
and save for future use.
Klipschorn and LaScala II
The Klipschorn and La Scala II low and high frequency
cabinets are shipped in two separate cartons. These are large,
heavy speakers. Unpacking and setup will require two people.
The Klipschorn and LaScala II high and low frequency
cabinets are matched by serial number for proper
acoustic performance. Please take care to match upper
and lower cabinet serial numbers when assembling these
loudspeakers.
Klipschorn
Open the flaps of the larger low frequency carton labeled
“Open This End”, invert the carton and lift it off of the speaker
cabinet and remove the inner packing. The top of the cabinet,
with its three rubber spacers, should be facing up (See Figure
1). Slide the bass cabinet into the corner where it will be
placed for a test fit and make note of any obstructions that
interfere with a tight fit. Remove the cabinet from the corner to
install the high frequency cabinet. Position the speaker near,
but not tight into, the corner and remove the low frequency
grille (two wing nuts) on the input panel side of the cabinet
and set aside until the connection process is complete.
Open the top flaps of the smaller high frequency carton
marked “Open This End” and remove the packing pad. Lift the
high frequency cabinet out of the carton and set it on top of
the low frequency cabinet. Align the three rubber bumpers on
the top of the low frequency cabinet with the three recesses
on the underside of the high frequency cabinet. Thread the
high and mid frequency driver leads in the upper cabinet
through the hole in the cabinet’s lower panel. Connect the
Green (+) tagged pair of wires to the pair of binding posts
labeled “Tweeter Out.” Take care to match the Red (+) and
Black (-) binding posts with the Green (+) and Black (-)
sleeves on the ends of these wires. Follow this same proce-
dure to connect the Yellow tagged pair of wires to the pair of
binding posts labeled “Mid Out.” (See Figure 5.)
La Scala II
Open the flaps of the larger low frequency carton labeled
“Open This End.” Invert the carton, lift it off of the speaker
cabinet and remove the inner packing. The top of the cabinet,
with its three rubber spacers, should be facing up (See
Figure 2).
For the La Scala II high frequency cabinet, open the top flaps
of the smaller carton marked “Open This End,” and remove the
inner packing pad. The bottom of the cabinet should be facing
up with the low frequency connection cable attached to it. Free
this cable, invert the carton and lift it off the cabinet. With
assistance, lift the high frequency cabinet off the floor and
place it on top of the low frequency cabinet while placing the
low frequency cable toward the rear and out the gap between
the cabinets. Align the recesses on the bottom surface of the
high frequency cabinet with the rubber bumpers on the top of
the low frequency cabinet. Connect the low frequency cable to
the two screw barrier strip on the rear of the low frequency
cabinet. Be sure to observe proper polarity by connecting the
wire with the Red Indicator to the terminal with the Red mark-
ing and the wire with the Black indicator to the other terminal.
PLACEMENT
Your Klipsch Heritage loudspeakers will perform well in a
variety of locations but best results will be achieved using the
following general guidelines:
• All: Place on a common wall 6 to 15 feet apart.
• La Scala, Cornwall, Heresy: Position them equidistant from
the wall behind the speakers.
• Heresy: Equidistant height above the floor with the high
frequency drivers at seated ear height if wall or cabinet
mounted.
