POSITIONING YOUR SYNERGY SERIES SPEAKERS
Before You Start — Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other accessories that may need to be installed prior to use.
Please refer to Diagrams 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for installation.
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers — For optimum performance, Klipsch suggests placing your speakers six to 15
feet (2 to 4.5m) apart and at least 24 inches (60.8cm) from the back and side walls. They may also be toed-in
slightly for better stereo imaging. The listening position should be about 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the
speakers. Refer to Figures 1, 2 and 4 for connection and placement.
Center Channel Speakers — Center channel speakers are designed to place dialogue and primary sounds so that they
appear to come from the video screen. The speakers should therefore be placed as close to the screen as possible,
preferably directly on top of or below the screen. Refer to Figures 2, 3 and 4 for connection and placement.
Rear Surround Channel Speakers — Klipsch WDST™ surround speakers should be placed on the walls directly adja-
cent to or on the wall behind the listening position. They are designed to recreate the sense of space and ambience
that many of today’s surround sound technologies provide. Refer to Diagram 5 and Figures 2 and 4 for connection
and placement.
CONNECTING YOUR SYNERGY SERIES SPEAKERS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER
Conventional Connection — Using 16-gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the RED "positive" (+) terminal of the
LEFT speaker to the RED "positive" (+) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel. Connect the BLACK "negative"
(–) terminal of the LEFT speaker to the BLACK "negative" (–) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel. Repeat
this procedure for connecting all remaining speakers to the appropriate amplifier channels. Refer to Figure 4. Make
sure that no bare wires from any of the connections touch any other terminals as this could cause a short and dam-
age your equipment.
Amplifier Requirements — Klipsch speakers are highly efficient and will operate easily on a wide variety of ampli-
fiers. All Klipsch speakers are 8-ohm compatible and can be driven to very high levels with low distortion. Due to the
high output levels Klipsch speakers are capable of reproducing, exercise caution with the volume control. Excessive
volume over long periods can permanently damage your hearing. Overdriving your amplifier could also damage your
speakers. Check with your dealer to make sure your particular amplifier is best suited to your application. We want
you listening for a lifetime.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR SYNERGY SERIES SPEAKERS
The only thing you should ever need to do to your speakers is dust them occasionally. Never apply any abrasive or solvent-
based cleaner or any harsh detergent. You can clean the grilles with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
