ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE Your new Klipsch architectural speakers have been designed to deliver great sound while remaining unobtrusive wherever you install them. Your new in wall or in ceiling speakers are suitable for use as front, center or surround channels in audio or home theater applica tions, or as part of a distributed sound system. Minimum Tools Required #2 Phillips Screwdriver Wire strippersLevelStud finder Saw In Wall Speaker Placement Designed to function in any standard wall, ceiling or drop ceiling, Klipsch in wall speakers are engineered for years of performance. Minimum construction requirements call for dry wall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick (Figure 1). To maximize performance, speakers should be placed at an equal distance from the listener and along a common wall to ensure the best stereo effect.For background listening envi ronments (or when the listening position may vary widely), speaker placement may be wherever is most convenient, although in these cases stereo imaging may be lost. In Ceiling Speaker Placement Designed to function in any drywall or drop ceiling, Klipsch in ceiling speakers are engi neered for years of performance. Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick. In drop ceiling installations, typical "drop in" 2 x 4 and 2 x 2 ceiling tiles are composed of low density materials which have thepotential over time to sag and vibrate audibly. To maximize the acoustic performance of your in ceiling speakers, Klipsch recommends you replace the original mounting panel with 1/2" to 3/4" plywood or medium density fiberboard (MDF) (Figure 2). Speaker Installation (for New Construction, skip to step #3) 1. Cut the appropriate size opening in the wall or ceiling using the template provided. If the template is not available, cutout dimensions are provided on the Klipsch website, www.klipsch.com. Sizes listed are minimum. If accuracy of cut cannot be achieved, you may add 1/4" to each dimension. Be careful not to cut through any existing wiring or plumbing. Avoid compromising any fire stops between studs. 2. Run speaker wiring (18 gauge minimum) to the openings. Be sure to comply with all building codes in your area. Figure 1 Figure 2
