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 and surround 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 1-7).
Note: It is recommended that install Kit CK-8600 be used for the M-8602-C.

For existing ceilings, 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 holes for installation. If you encounter electrical wiring or plumbing, you may have to consider another location (See illustration below).
Make sure that grille is removed from the speaker. Connect the wires using the provided Phoenix connector. Insert stripped wire ends and tighten screws, and the wire should be locked into place. Positive and negative leads are marked on the connector. (See illustration top of next column) .
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. Before placing the grille on the speaker, make sure there are no vibrations when playing. If so, check the installation screws to see if they need further tightening (See illustration below).
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 the press-fit speaker chassis, use the
cutout template as a mask, and paint (See illustration below).
SEISMIC TAB
A seismic tab, located on the rear 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.
