ABOUT
YOUR
KLIPSCH
PURCHASE
Your
new
Klipsch
architectural
speakers
have
been
designed
to
deliver
great
sound
while
remaining
unobtrusive
wherever
you
install
them.
For
optimum
performance,
please
use
the
models
ending
with
a
"W"
for
in-wall
installations.
Models
ending
in
"C"
should
be
used
for
in-ceiling
applications.
Either
type
is
suitable
for
use
as
front,
center
or
surround
channels
in
audio
or
home
theater
applications,
or
as
part
of
a
distributed
sound
system
.

IN-WALL
SPEAKER
PLACEMENT
Designed
to
function
in
any
standard
wall,
ceiling
or
drop
ceiling,
Klipsch
in-wall
speakers
are
engineered
for
years
of
perform-
ance
.
Minimum
construction
requirements
call
for
drywall
or
other
mounting
surfaces
to
be
at
least
3/8"
thick
(figure.1
).
Figure

To
maximize
performance,
speakers
should
be
placed
at
an
equal
distance
from
the
listener
and
along
a
common
wall
to
ensure
the
best
stereo
effect.
For
background
listening
environments
(or
when
the
listening
position
may
vary
widely),
speaker
placement
may
be
wherever
is
most
convenient,
although
in
these
cases
stereo
imaging
may
be
lost.
IN-CEILING
SPEAKER
PLACEMENT
Designed
to
function
in
any
drywall
or
drop
ceiling,
Klipsch
in-
ceiling
speakers
are
engineered
for
years
of
performance.
Minimum
construction
requirements
call
for
drywall
or
other
mounting
surfaces
to
be
at
least
3/8"
thick.
In
drop
ceiling
installations,
typical"drop
in"
2'
x
4'
and
2'
x
2'
ceiling
tiles
are
composed
of
low
density
materials
which
have
the
potential
over
time
to
sag
and
vibrate
audibly.
To
maximize
the
acoustic
per-
formance
of
your
in-ceiling
speakers,
Klipsch
recommends
you
replace
the
original
mounting
panel
with
1
/2"
to
3/4"
plywood
or
medium
density
fiberboard
(MDF)
(figure

SPEAKER INSTALLATION(for New Construction, skip to step #3)
1. Cut the appropriate size opening in the wall or ceiling using
the template provided. If the template is ·not available, cutout
dimensions are provided on the Klipsch website,
www.klipsch.com. Sizes listed are minimum. If accuracy of cut
cannot be achieved, you may add 1/4
11
to each dimension. Be
careful not to cut through any existing wiring or plumbing.
Avoid compromising any fire stops between studs.
2. Run speaker wiring (18 gauge minimum) to the openings. Be
sure to comply with all building codes in your area.
3. Attach the wire to the speaker using the wire's color coding or
marki~gs as a guide to maintain proper polarity.
4. Insert the speaker assembly into the opening and attach by
tightening the four Phillips screws (figure 3). The frame's
"dog" legs will swivel out and "sandwich" the wall and frame
together. (Kiipsch new constroction brackets make this simple
if used prior to drywall installation.)
5. At this point, you may paint the speaker grilles before
inserting them into the speakers. Klipsch grilles are designed
to accept most types of paint. You may wish to remove the
scrim material before painting. It may. be reinserted after the
paint is dry. Care should be taken--to avoid excessive paint
build-up in the grille perforations.
6. Press the grille into place.
See back page for more illustrations.
OPERATING CONTROLS
Mid-Bass and Tweeter Attenuator Switch
(3000 and 5000 Series)
Some models feature a Tweeter switch (3000 series) or both a
Mid-Bass and a Tweeter switch (5000 series) located on the
front baffle. The switch allows a setting of either OdB (normal) or
-3dB in the respective frequency range. If installing in an
acoustically bright room, such as a bathroom or kitchen, you
may want to adjust the Tweeter level switch. If the speaker is
located in a corner and produces too much bass, you may need
to adjust the Mid-Bass level switch. The position of the switch
should always be checked prior to attaching the grille.
Pivoting Horn (In-Wall Models)
The 3000 and 5000 series feature a pivoting horn that allows
the horn to be toed-in. Before the grille is installed, carefully aim
the horn toward the listening area.
Swiveling Horn Tweeter (In-Ceiling Models)
Klipsch Referenc~ in-ceiling models (3000 and 5000 Series)
feature a swiveling tweeter to aim the high frequencies. To aim
sound directly at the listening area, gently adjust the horn to the
desired angle before the grille is installed.
Do not attempt to turn the tweeter stem while adjusting the
swivel tweeter.
Infrared Sensor Mount (In-Wall Models)
The 2000, 3000 and qOOO Series in-wall speakers feature a
1 /2" infrared sensor locator on the baffle.
