C O M PLACEMENT OF THE KHO-7 There are a number of a pplications where the Klipsch KHO-7 is the perfect solution for outdoor sound – patios, decks, swimming pools, porches or any other place where exposure to the elements makes conventional loudspeaker usa ge unacceptable. Man y of the placement recommendations for indoor use also apply in outdoor a pplications. The most common difference is the desire or need to mount the speakers a bove ear level on a wall or under an overhang. T o achieve the best perf ormance from your KHO-7, place both speakers on the same wall facing the listening area and space them six to 15 feet a part. For a higher quality stereo ima ge, angle down, or toe in, the speak - ers toward the primar y listening area. This is especiall y important in installations tha t place the speaker well a bove ear level. Some additional bass will result if you place the speakers in a corner or near a wall: This pro - vides g reater bass coupling due to the additional ref lected energy from the walls. W ALL MOUNTING Included with your KHO-7 speakers are C-style mounting brackets tha t provide tremendous placement flexibility . Constructed of weather -resistant powder -coa t- ed aluminum to ensure years of relia ble ser vice, these brackets are the recommended method of mounting and supporting your speakers. The bracket is attached to the speaker with the supplied low profile knobs, which thread into the top and bottom of the ca binet. This allows the speaker to be angled to the left or right when mounted verticall y , or up and down when mounted horizontall y . After determining the desired location and orienta tion of your KHO-7, remove the bracket from the loudspeaker and use it as a templa te to mark the location of the mounting holes. Check the alignment of the holes with a torpedo level before drilling the properl y sized pilot hole at the marked loca tions. Use #10-12, 2.5–3" long pan head screws to a ttach the bracket into a wall stud. Af fix the speaker to the bracket with the supplied knobs. Be sure to leave enough clearance between the end of the bracket and an y adjacent wall or ceiling for installation of the knobs. If a wall stud is not a vaila ble, use the a ppropria te type of dr ywall or masonr y anchor to support the weight of the speaker , allowing for a generous safety marg in. Please consult your dealer , custom installer or building contractor in these situa tions. USE OF THE PORT PLUG A vin yl port plug is included for installa tions that ma y expose the KHO-7 to extremel y wet wea ther conditions. The internal components are wa ter -resistant, however , it is best to a void having standing wa ter inside the ca binet whenever possible. T o insert the plug, gentl y pry off the metal g rille taking care not to bend it or chip the paint. Insert the closed end of the plug into the port until the fit is snug. DO NOT use excessive force! Use of the port plug will result in a slight loss in the bass frequencies, but will make your speakers more wea ther -resistant and ensure a long and trouble-free life. HOW T O CONNECT THE KHO-7 Switch your electronics OFF when making all connec - tions! Connect your KHO-7 all-wea ther speakers to the Front or Main left and right channels of your sys - tem s power amplifier . Be sure to obser ve proper polari - ty (+ to + and – to –) and a void ha ving excess bare wire at the connectors, which could short together causing possible amplifier dama ge. Refer to About Speaker Wire Connections. ABOUT SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS When making an y type of speaker wire connection, be sure to obser ve proper polarity . Most speaker wire is color -coded or has some distinguishing feature dif feren - tia ting the two conductors. Speaker wire connectors on most loudspeakers and amplifiers are also color -coded. T ypicall y , Red is positive (+) and Black is negative (–), or g round. It does not matter which wire conductor is con - nected to the positive or nega tive connection of your equipment as long as you are consistent. Be sure tha t the connections from the amp to the speaker on all of the various channels of your system are connected in a like manner . If this is not done, the amount of bass will be reduced and the stereo ima ge will be compromised. Be careful not to ha ve excess bare wire or loose strands of wire that could short from positive to nega - tive as this could dama ge the speaker and amplifier . High quality speaker ca ble can make an audible improvement in the sound of your speakers. Y our Klipsch dealer can assist you in selecting the proper ca ble to ensure optimal perf ormance from your loud - speakers. P AINTING Y OUR KHO-7 The grille and cabinet of your KHO-7 ma y be painted to ma tch the exterior decor of your house or to blend in with the surrounding environment. For best results, properly prepare the surface before painting. Lightl y sand all surfaces to be painted (ca binet and g rille) with 300-400 grit sand paper . W ash these surfaces with a moistened cloth dipped into a mild detergent to remove any fingerprints or g rease. Allow to dr y before painting. Care must be taken to mask of f the front of the speaker to protect the tweeter , woofer and front panel from over -spra y . This will maintain the existing uniform dark color behind the g rille and protect the woofer and tweeter from being dama ged by the paint. Affix masking tape to the inboard wall of the g rille g roove and attach plastic or newspa per to the tape to cover the entire front panel of the speaker . Also before painting, mask the speaker wire binding posts on the rear of the ca bi - net to preser ve the color -coding and conductivity . Make sure tha t the black and red knobs are screwed down to cover the threaded metal shafts and wra p the knobs securel y in masking ta pe. Remove the g rille before painting. For best results, use several light coats of paint instead of one hea vy coat. This will help prevent the perf orations in the grille from becoming clog ged with paint.
