Page 4: Getting Started
• There is a pair of gloves located in a pocket in the side of the packing carton under the Owner’s manual. Identify all the components. If any item is missing or damaged, report this immediately to your Klipsch dealer and the transport contractor for action. - Page 5 Preparing the Loudspeaker Connection Procedure: There is a specific procedure to be followed: • Switch off and unplug the amplifier/s and all source electronics from the mains power. • Place both loudspeakers in the general area where you want them. • Connect each loudspeaker following the instructions under the “connecting the loudspeakers” section of this manual.
- Page 6 Positioning Loudspeakers - Stereo Never allow objects of furniture to impede the loudspeaker or place objects between the loudspeakers and the listening position. Stereo Positioning (P-38F / P-37F / P-17B) The generally accepted norm is that the loudspeakers should be as far away from each other as they are from the listener.
- Page 7 Positioning Loudspeakers - Home Theater LFE 2 The same general positioning rules as for stereo apply but these are some variations. • The loudspeakers can be placed closer together. Remember that the closer the speakers are to one another, the less spacious the sound will be in stereo. •...
- Page 8 Positioning Center and Surrounds Center Channel Positioning The P-27C is a dedicated center channel speaker that should be placed as close as possible to the center of your video display. In installations with large projection or display screens, the speaker is traditionally placed immediately below the screen and positioned with an upward tilt.
- Page 9 Cables, Crossovers and Connections For best results, connect your loudspeakers with purpose-designed loudspeaker cable. The cables to both loudspeakers should be of equal lengths and be of a gauge sufficient to drive the speakers comfortably without any loss of power in the bass at high volumes.

Page 10: Connecting The Loudspeakers
Connecting the Loudspeakers - 2 The Terminal Panel As supplied, positive and negative terminals of the high and low frequency terminal pairs are strapped to- gether with a two-way strap. This is how you should prepare the terminal panel for each wiring option. Standard (Single) Wiring The straps are left in place as supplied. - Page 11 If any of the above conditions are not met, separate amplification will be significantly worse than ordinary bi- wiring. If you are unsure about these concepts or unsure if your amplifiers meet these criteria, it is essential that you consult your Klipsch specialist dealer before proceeding further. AMPLIFIER...

Page 13: Final Adjustments
Final Adjustments The Palladium Series loudspeakers have a phenomenal frequency response and superb dynamics, so playing large orchestral or rock music will be an awesome experience, but may not necessarily be the best guide in setting up the speakers. Your listening tests should be performed with a wide range of music, including unac- companied vocal and solo instrumental recordings with as little processing on the source as possible. - Page 14 Klipsch products are evaluated against similarly priced competitive models. It is only in this manner that Klipsch can truly rely on the quality of feedback received, eliminating skewed data that may result due to influ- ences caused by price, brand recognition, or visual appeal.
- Page 15 Midrange - “The midrange is where we live” Paul W. Klipsch The inverted dome midrange driver operates from 500 Hz to 3.5 kHz and is a unique design, not found on any previous Klipsch product.
- Page 16 Low distortion, high sensitivity, wide bandwidth and neutral tonality have been, in this ground-breaking design, pushed beyond the standards for any previous Klipsch driver. Built around a .75-inch titanium dome, the tweeter makes use of two very large high temperature N35H neodymium magnets in an unconventional configura- tion.
- Page 17 Tractrix® Horn Design Horn-loaded technology is the driving force behind the remark- ably accurate Klipsch sound. Horns offer high efficiency, low distortion, controlled directivity and flat frequency response, allowing them to more closely reproduce the quality and tonal characteristics of live sound.
