ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE
Your new Klipsch THX Ultra2 architectural speakers have been
designed to deliver great sound while remaining unobtrusive
wherever you install them.
The KL -7800- THX is designed for Left, Center or Right channel
use or wherever a monopole speaker is called for, such as
surround back channels in Ultra2 configurations. The result is a
flush-mount speaker that creates a powerful statement in any
application.
The KS-7800-THX features a patent-pending horn array,
consisting of two vertically stacked Tractrix® Horn-loaded tweet~
ers. It is designed specifically for surround use in home theater
applications. 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 from a
flush-mount design.
Minimum Tools Required for Installation

In-Wall Speaker Placement (Refer to Figures 1 and 2)

mounting surfaces to be at least 1 /2" thick.
To maximize performance, install the KL-7800-THX equally
spaced to either side of the video display. When being used. as a
center channel, please locate this speaker as close to the video
display as is practical.

listening position at an equal distance from the listener whenever
possible. You may also install them behind the listening position
