UNPACKING
The package should be placed on the floor or table top with the
box flaps up. Cut the tape with a utility knife to open the pack-
age. Fold the carton flaps back and carefully slide the speaker and
packaging from the box, or turn the box over with flaps open and
remove the box. Stand the speaker and packing upright, making
sure the speaker is right side up, and remove the packing material.

AMPLIFICATION
Conventional amplification involves a single stereo amplifier
wired to a single set of binding posts with straps connecting the
second set of posts as seen in diagram above.
Simply attach the positive wire + to the red post, and the nega-
tive wire – to the black post.
ROOM POSITION
The placement of your surround speakers is very important in
regard to home theater usage. The surround speakers complete
the theater listening experience with ambient effects that put the
listener in the middle of the action.
The Beacon surround speakers are sonically matched to work
seamlessly with all other KLH speakers, and will deliver optimum
performance in all home theater applications.
CONNECTING YOUR BEACON SURROUNDS
The Beacon surround speakers have quality nickel-plated binding
posts that will accommodate stripped wire, spade connectors or
banana plugs. Be sure to use quality speaker cables, up to 12 gauge
(AWG). The lowest gauge possible is recommended. Before using
banana plugs, be sure to remove the black and red inserts on the
binding posts.
