POSITIONING YOUR QUINTET II SPEAKERS Before You Start – Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other accessories that may need to be installed prior to use. Please refer to Diagrams 1, 2, 3 and 4 for installation. Left and Right Main Channel Speakers – For optimum performance, place your speakers six to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart and at least 24 inches (60.8cm) from the side walls. They may also be toed-in slightly for better stereo imag- ing. The listening position should be about 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the speakers. Refer to Figures 1, 2 and 4 for connection and placement. Center Channel Speakers – Center channel speakers are designed to place dialogue and primary sounds so that they appear to come from the video screen. The speakers should therefore be placed as close to the screen as possible, preferably directly on top of or below the screen. Refer to Figures 2, 3 and 4 for connection and placement. Rear Surround Channel Speakers – Quintet surround speakers can be placed on the walls directly adjacent to or on the wall behind the listening position using the foot as the mounting bracket. Rear surround speakers are designed to recreate the sense of space and ambiance that many of todays surround sound technologies provide. Refer to Diagram 4 and Figures 2 and 4 for connection and placement. CONNECTING YOUR QUINTETII SPEAKERS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER Conventional Connection – Using 16-gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the RED "positive" (+) terminal of the LEFT speaker to the RED "positive" (+) terminal of your amplifiers LEFT channel. Connect the BLACK "negative" (–) terminal of the LEFT speaker to the BLACK "negative" (–) terminal of your amplifiers LEFT channel. Repeat this procedure for connecting all remaining speakers to the appropriate amplifier channels. Refer to Figure 4. Make sure that no bare wires from any of the connections touch any terminals as this could cause a short and damage your equipment. Amplifier Requirements – Klipsch speakers are highly efficient and will operate easily on a wide variety of ampli- fiers. All Klipsch speakers are 8-ohm compatible and can be driven to very high levels with low distortion. Due to the high output levels Klipsch speakers are capable of reproducing, exercise caution with the volume control. Excessive volume over long periods can permanently damage your hearing. Overdriving your amplifier could also damage your speakers. Check with your dealer to make sure your particular amplifier is best suited to your application. We want you listening for a lifetime. CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR QUINTET II SPEAKERS Your speakers have a durable matte finish that should only require dry dusting or cleaning with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and harsh detergents. The brush attachment of your vacuum or a slight- ly damp sponge should remove any dust from your speaker grilles.
