Page 4 Page 5 Preparing the Loudspeaker 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 the subwoofer in the general area where you want it. - Connect the subwoofer following the instructions under the connecting the subwoofer section of this manual. - Finalize the position of the loudspeakers. - Fit the front grille (if desired) TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE DRIVE UNITS WHEN YOU MOVE THE SUBWOOFER AROUND. TO PRESERVE THE FINISH, WHEN HANDLING YOUR SUBWOOFER USE THE GLOVES THAT ARE PROVIDED. Fitting and Removing the Grilles To fit the front grille: align the posts on the grille with the post cups on the front of the subwoofer and gently press on the grille. Use care to ensure that the grille clears the aluminum control panel extrusion area around the logo. Do not strike or forcibly press on the grille or grille posts as damage to the grille or finish of your subwoofer could occur. The round side grilles cover the two passive radiators and come pre-installed from the factory. They are attached via rubber capture posts to special fasteners on the passive radiators. If these grilles should ever need to be re- installed, make sure you orient them properly so that the curve of the grille follows the curve of the subwoofer side panel and gently press them back into place. Although operating the P-312W subwoofer with the front grille on or off is a matter of personal taste, moving or connecting the subwoofer should always be done with the front grille removed. Be especially careful not to touch the drive unit. Positioning Subwoofers 6 - 16 LFE 2 LFE 1 CENTER Never allow objects or furniture to impede the subwoofer or place objects on top of it! Positioning your Palladium Series subwoofer Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. Typically, optimum performance will result if you place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers. Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect upon the performance of your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output; placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a number of different placement options and control settings to find the one that best suits your particular room and preferences. When choosing your subwoofers location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofers built-in amplifier to an AC power outlet. The Palladium Series subwoofer features Klipschs proprietary Adaptive Room Correction. This patent-pending technology will identify the major acoustic anomalies in the low frequency range of your listening rooms acoustics and compensate for them automatically. While the corrected response may at first sound like a reduction in bass quantity, the benefit is a much higher quality bass reproduction featuring audibly faster tran - sient response and more noticeable extension of extremely low frequency program material. (See the Adap - tive Room Correction section of this manual for further information on this feature.) L R
