CP-T SERIES
Thank you for your purchase of the Klipsch CP-T Series 70/100
Volt speakers! They are designed to both withstand the rigors of
outdoor use while also complimenting any indoor décor. The 90°x
90° horn dispersion pattern assures wide, even coverage with
either horizontal or vertical placement. The long-throw woofers are
combined with front-firing ports for tight, musical bass no matter
how they are mounted or placed. The included, unique speaker
bracket allows for not only quick vertical or horizontal mounting but
also allows for tight, wall/wall or wall/ceiling corner mounting for a
highly aesthetic look that allows for increased overall bass output.
The CP-4T contains a high quality, built-in 70/100 Volt transformer
with a single, fixed 5/10 watt tap while the CP-6T contains a 70/100
Volt transformer with multiple tap settings of 3.75/7.5 watts, 7.5/15
watts, 15/30 watts and 30 watt taps. The CP-6T also has an 8 ohm
bypass setting for 8 ohm operation.

Connect speaker wires to terminals (in parallel with all
speakers) with Phillips screwdriver or LOW TORQUE drill/bit.
CP-6T SPEAKER ONLY
Select desired wattage tap setting on speaker front for either
70 or 100 Volt operation.

STEP 7
STEP 8
Once speaker is positioned as desired push back all the way
back on bracket arms until flush with bracket caps and screw
two partially inserted screws all the way in to lock position.
TEST SOUND: Play music/test signal through speaker to
make sure connections are tight, and, IF USING CP-6T, tap
setting is correct for desired volume.

STEP 9
Once speaker is in the final position and tested,
attach grill by pressing grill into channel encircling
speaker front
*SPEAKER GRILL REMOVAL: Use included grill removal tool, insert
into a top corner and gently pull out. Repeat on a corner next to
first one pulled, then pull out grill gently with hand. NOTE: the grill
is designed to fit snug on speaker to both remain on and to remain
tight. Continued removal/reinsertion of grill may make it loose and
subject to either vibration or slippage.
USING A DIFFERENT MOUNTING BRACKET
All CP Series speakers have a 1/4”, 20-thread insert on the back
bottom that you can attach a different, compatible mount.
There is an additional 1/4”, 20-thread insert a safety cable can be
mounted to.

PAINTING THE SPEAKERS
1. 2.
3. 4.
Paint speaker and bracket top/
bottom caps separately.
1. First, clean speaker cabinet
and bracket top/bottom caps
with mild solvent or mild
detergent/water
2. Then create a paint mask for
speaker front (baffle) by tracing
speaker grill on sheet of thicker,
non-porous paper then cutting
paper around tracing.
3. Place grill paper mask on front
of speaker (over baffle) making
sure to also cover grill channel;
secure with double sided tape.
Do not put tape on woofer. Mask
around bracket top/bottom caps
making sure not to paint bracket
arm and swivel mechanism.
Mask logo on grill front.
4. Use a spray paint that is made
for plastic and spray speaker
cabinet, bracket caps and grill
front. Make sure not to cover
grill holes. Allow all parts to dry
before re-assembling speaker.

To maintain consistent volume levels across an area, space speakers on wall based on their
90 coverage patterns aimed down to listening area.
To reduce phasing issues affecting sound quality, in areas up to 30 feet (9.1M) wide where
speakers are mounted on opposite walls, stagger speakers so none directly face ones on
the opposite wall.

Pole Mounting
Using the 1/4”, 20-threaded
inserts on the rear of the Klipsch
CP speakers and pole mount
brackets from a third party
provider, the speakers can be
mounted to light poles, etc. to
cover a 360° pattern for areas
such as parking lots indoor/
outdoor malls, etc.
Inverse Square Law
For every doubling of distance
from a speaker SPL is reduced by
6dB (-6dB)
EXAMPLE
Speaker Sensitivity:
91 dB@1 watt, 1 meter
X (1m) = 91 dB
Y (2m) = 88 dB
Z (4m) = 85 dB
Other Guidelines:
• Mount speakers at same height for clearest sound quality
• Sending a mono (left + right) signal to each speaker is typical
in a distributed audio system and gives the best coverage for
large areas
• Maintain an unobstructed “line of sight” between speakers and
listening area
• Rooms with hard surfaces (bare walls, hard floors and ceilings)
are considered “live” or reverberant and are best covered with
more speakers at lower output levels
• Rooms with soft surfaces (drapes, wall hangings, carpet,
upholstered furniture) are considered “dead”, absorbing sound,
and may require additional speakers placed closer together
Ambient Noise Levels: Measure at peak business hours to determine highest level
Background Music Levels: Usually 3-6 dB above the ambient noise level of a room
Foreground Music Levels: 10 dB+ above the ambient noise level of a room

LA SÉRIE CP-T
Merci d’avoir acheté les enceintes Klipsch 70/100 V de la série
CP-T ! Elles sont conçues autant pour endurer les rigueurs d’une
utilisation en extérieur que pour agrémenter un décor intérieur. Le
profil de dispersion du pavillon 90°x 90° assure une couverture
large et uniforme, aussi bien en position horizontale que verticale.
Les woofers longue portée sont associés à des ports frontaux pour
produire des graves précis et mélodieux quelle que soit la position
où ils sont montés ou placés. Le support spécial qui est fourni pour
l’enceinte assure non seulement un montage vertical ou horizontal
rapide, mais permet également un montage serré en angle ou
à l’intersection d’un mur et d’un plafond, pour une apparence
extrêmement esthétique qui augmente le volume global des graves.
Le CP-4T contient un transformateur 70/100 V intégré de haute
qualité, muni d’une sortie unique fixe de 5/10 W, tandis que le CP-
6T contient un transformateur 70/100 V offrant plusieurs options
de sorties : 3,75/7,5 W, 7,5/15 W, 15/30 W et 30 W. Le CP-6T offre
également une option de dérivation de 8
Ω pour un fonctionnement
en 8 Ω .
