Introduction For over 60 years, our engineers have sought the ultimate: a loudspeaker that could reproduce recorded music with all the passion of a live performance. The Palladium™ Series approaches aural perfection, while making a visual statement that is every bit as elegant and passionate as the sound. The Palladium Series represents the epitome of loudspeaker technology, with remarkable clarity throughout the dynamic range and bold styling. Today, Klipsch Group, Inc. is a global force, and this loudspeaker range reflects that leadership status; design and engineering teams from the United States collaborated with col - leagues from Germany and China to plan and execute the Palladium project. In designing the Palladium cabinetry, we first considered the Klipsch heritage and unique approach to acoustic design. Trends in home interior and furniture were also factored in, as was the current audio market landscape. The result is a speaker range that flawlessly melds classic Klipsch® audio with the latest in home furniture trends. The striking design hints at the power and performance inside, while maintaining a high degree of sophistication and beauty. More importantly, the arched shape of the loudspeaker actu - ally contributes to its remarkable sound by breaking up standing waves at higher frequencies. Power. Detail. Emotion. Combined, these qualities are the embodiment of our core philosophy. And all are expressed-beautifully-in the brilliant Palladium loudspeakers. We invite you, our customer, to share with us the pride of ownership in this extraordinary product for many gratifying years.

Page 4 Page 5 Preparing the Loudspeaker Getting Started Unpacking (P-38F / P-37F) Please follow the unpacking instructions fully and in the order shown below. These loudspeakers are heavy! Do not lift or move these speakers by yourself. Always have someone help you. 1 3 5 4 2 Open the carton flaps Lightly tape each flap to the box with short pieces of tape Remove the top packing piece Carefully invert the carton Lift off the carton Lift off the center and base packing pieces The loudspeaker is ready for connection - The grille box contains: one upper grille; one lower grille, (P-38F / P-37F) or one single-piece grille (P-17B, P-27C and P-27S). - The Accessories box for P-38F and P-37F contain: four long spikes; four short spikes; four spike col- lars; four spike seats; one Allen wrench. - The Accessories box for P-27C contains: two short front spikes; one short-barrel rear spike; one long-barrel rear spike; three spike collars; three spike seats; one Allen wrench. - The P-17B and P-27S do not have an accessory box , but do include an Allen wrench with the owners manual packet. - There is a pair of gloves located in a pocket in the side of the packing carton under the owners manual. Identify all the components. If any item is missing or damaged, report this immediately to your Klipsch dealer and the transport contractor for action. Connection Procedure: There is a specific procedure to be followed: - Switch off and unplug the amplifier/s and all source electronics from the mains power. - Place both loudspeakers in the general area where you want them. - Connect each loudspeaker following the instructions under the connecting the loudspeakers section of this manual. - Attach the spikes, following the instructions under the finalizing the assembly section of this manual. - Run both sets of loudspeaker cables to the amplifier. - Connect the amplifier. - Finalize the position of the loudspeakers. - Finally, fit the grilles (if desired). TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE DRIVE UNITS WHEN YOU MOVE THE LOUDSPEAKERS AROUND. TO PRESERVE THE FINISH, WHEN HANDLING YOUR SPEAKERS, USE THE GLOVES THAT ARE PROVIDED. Fitting and Removing the Grilles The grilles are magnetically attached to the cabinet. Specially designed magnets are housed inside the front wall of the loudspeaker, so that if you wish to operate the loudspeaker with the grilles removed, no grille mounting hardware is visible. This preserves the smooth lines of the loudspeaker. To fit the grilles: Fit the top grille first and line it up with the top and sides of the cabinet. For the P-38F, P-37F and P-17B there is a small lip on the top of the grille that should rest on the top of the cabinet. Now, fit the lower grille, lining up the top of the lower grille with the bottom of the upper grille. You may now remove the top grille if you wish. ( The P-17B, P-27C and P-27S have a single one-piece grille only.) Although operating the loudspeakers with the grilles on or off is a matter of personal taste, moving or connecting the loudspeakers should always be done with the grilles removed. Be especially careful not to touch the drive units. Whats in the box? Remove the Grille box Remove the Accessories box Remove the Owners manual and gloves
