UNPACKING

Place the package on the floor or tabletop with the box flaps up. Cut the tape with a utility knife to open the package. Fold the carton flaps back and carefully slide the speaker and packaging from the box, or turn the box over with flaps open and remove the box. Stand the speaker and pack upright, making sure the speaker is right side up, and remove the packing material.

CONNECTING YOUR CENTER CHANNEL

The Story center channel has quality nickel-plated binding posts that will accommodate stripped wire, spade connectors, or banana plugs. Be sure to use quality speaker cables, up to 12 gauge (AWG). The lowest gauge possible is recommended. Before using banana plugs, be sure to remove the black and red inserts on the binding posts. See the following diagrams in the AMPLIFICATION section for further instruction.

AMPLIFICATION

Conventional amplification involves a single stereo amplifier wired to a single set of binding posts with straps connecting the second set of posts as seen in the diagram above. Simply attach the positive wire + to the red post and the negative wire – to the
black post.

ROOM POSITION

The placement of your center channel is very important in regard to home theater usage. The center channel produces most of the dialogue, and 60% of the total sound in a home theater application. It is recommended that the center channel speaker be placed below the viewing screen or monitor (see diagram). The Story center channel speaker is sonically matched to work seamlessly with all other KLH speakers and will deliver optimum performance in all home theater applications.

CENTER CHANNEL PLACEMENT

Place the center channel below the monitor in both wall-mount and stand applications, as seen in the diagram below.

NOTE: When the center channel is positioned below ear level, it should be angled upward as seen in the diagram above.

PORT TUNING

If you are placing your center channel speaker 6 inches or closer to a wall, the bass output can be controlled by reducing the amount of airflow from the rear ports. You can “tune” the bass output by using the room tuning stops provided with your speaker by inserting as shown.
