SPEAKER PLACEMENT AND LOCATION
Optimum speaker placement depends on personal listening preference and, when used in home theater applications, follow standard listening recommendations for left, center, right andsurround usage.
INSTALLATION
If you are installing in new construction, it is recommended that you use an
install kit. These kits are put in place before the installation of drywall.
The Install kit adds security, and can be used to more accurately cut the hole
for final installation (See illustrations 1-6).
Note: Recommended install kit is WK-8600.
For existing walls, make sure the speaker cutout is placed between two joists
with plenty of clearance. Use a stud finder to locate joists, and mark
locations. Be sure to avoid electrical wires and plumbing when cutting hole
for installation. If you encounter electrical wiring or plumbing, you may have
to consider another location (See illustration below). For additional support
in cases of drywall with thickness of 1/2” or less, shims located on the
vertical points of the install is recommended.
Connect the wires using the provided fasteners by loosening bindin posts and inserting the trimmed, exposed wire into the hole in threaded area. Tighten the nuts, and the wire should be locked into place. Remember, red clip is + and black clip is – (See illustration at below).
Make sure that grille is removed from the speaker. Place the speaker into the hole and press tightly against drywall with one hand, and tighten each of the screws until the speaker is firmly in place. (See illustrations 1-3).
Before placing grille on speaker, make sure there are no vibrations when playing. If so, check the installation screws to see if they need further tightening.
PAINTING THE SPEAKER GRILLE
This speaker grille may be painted. To apply spray paint to the grille, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and remember to remove the scrim before finishing. To paint the outer bezel on press fit speaker chassis, use the cutout template as mask, and paint (See illustration above).
SEISMIC TAB
A seismic tab, locate on the side/top of the speaker, is used as a secondary
means to secure the loudspeaker. Some construction codes may require its use.
To utilize the seismic tab, run a support wire from a secure point and attach
it to the tab. KLH recommends the use of this tab in all installations as a
secondary means of support.
MAINTENANCE
These speakers require little maintenance and, if cleaning is needed, you may use a dry cloth. If the speaker is subject to smoke or grease, a mild detergent and moistened cloth may be used. DO NOT use harsh chemicals or abrasives.
