UNPACKING

The package should be placed 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 BEACON SURROUNDS

The Beacon surround speakers have 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.

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 surround speakers is very important in regard to home theater usage. The surround speakers complete the theater listening experience with ambient effects that put the listener in the middle of the action.

The Beacon surround speakers are sonically matched to work seamlessly with all other KLH speakers and will deliver optimum performance in all home theater applications.

MOUNTING

The Beacon surround speakers can be placed behind or to either side of the main listening area. Mounting options are provided with the keyhole mount, which is used for conventional flat wall mounting, or the threaded insert which fits most standard mounting hardware, offering more flexible positioning. Be sure to install any additional mounting hardware according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
