ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE
Your new Klipsch architectural speakers have been designed to
deliver great sound while remaining unobtrusive wherever you
install them. They feature a patent-pending horn array, which is
two vertically stacked Tractrix®Horn-loaded tweeters pointing in
opposite directions. The result is a flush-mount speaker that
creates enveloping ambient sound fields and localizing specific
surround effects through the use of Klipsch’s proprietary Wide
Dispersion Surround Technology (WDST™). The careful
alignment of the two controlled-directivity Tractrix Horn
tweeters, angled opposite one another, yields an incredibly
wide dispersion pattern.
The R-5650-S is designed specifically for surround use in home
theater applications.
Minimum Tools Required
#2 Phillips Screwdriver
Wire strippers
Level
Stud finder
Saw
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.
To maximize performance, speakers should be placed to either
side of the listening postion at an equal distance from the
listener whenever possible. You may also install them behind
or above the listening position and achieve good results.

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" 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
markings as a guide to maintain proper polarity.
4.Insert the speaker assembly into the opening and attach by
tightening the four Phillips screws (see illustration). The frame’s
four “dogs” will swivel out and “sandwich” the wall and frame
together as they are tightened. If you use a power tool to tighten
these screws, please use a low torque setting. Failure to do so
could result in damage to your speaker.
5. At this point, you may paint the speaker grille before attaching
it to the speaker. Klipsch grilles are designed to accept most
types of paint. 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.
Infrared Sensor Mount
All Reference model in-wall speakers feature a 1/2’’ infrared
sensor locator on the baffle.
