PLACEMENT
Your Klipsch Jubilee loudspeakers will perform well in a variety of locations, but for best results use the following guidelines:
- Place on a common wall that is 12 to 15 feet away from the main listening position.
- Position them equidistant from the wall behind the speakers, as well as equidistant from the main listening position, creating an equilateral triangle.
- Angle speakers toward the listener and even with or forward of any adjacent obstructions.
- Placing them near a corner or wall provides the greatest amount of bass while moving the speakers away from room boundaries reduces bass energy.
- Asymmetrical placement of a pair of speakers from adjacent side walls can smooth room-induced bass unevenness.
Experiment with the above guidelines to suit your taste and to compensate for your room’s acoustic characteristics.
ACTIVE CROSSOVER
*Power LED will blink yellow anytime clipping/overdriving is occurring.
**When using an unbalanced (RCA) connection, if your preamp signal is causing
consistent clipping, set the pad switch to -9 dB to compensate.

example, you can use XLR connections for the HF, and then use RCA connections
for the LF, or vice versa.
THIS SPEAKER IS ONLY ABLE TO BE CONNECTED VIA A BI-AMP SETUP. DUE TO THIS, YOU

ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE**
Thank you for your purchase of Klipsch Heritage loudspeakers. After reading
this manual and connecting your system, you will hear the result of over 70
years of stringent engineering and class-leading research and development.
Like all Klipsch products, your loudspeakers feature Klipsch Horn-loaded
Technology—the guiding design for the first Klipschorn® developed in 1946 and
for every Klipsch product that has followed. Horn-loading allows your speakers
to deliver very high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low distortion,
controlled dispersion and flat frequency response. This translates to
unequaled power, detail and dynamics, the hallmarks of “The Klipsch Sound.”
Again, thank you for choosing Klipsch and we hope that your speakers bring
life to your music and movies for many years.
