ROOM PLACEMENT
Before You Start
-
Some Klipsch
speakers
have feet
and other accessories
that may need to
be
installed prior to use.
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers- For the most spacious sound
KGI suggests placing the G-12, G-16 or G-28 front left/right speakers six
to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart with the listening position about 1 to 1 .5 times the
distance separating the speakers. Excellent sound can still be achieved by
placing/wall-mounting these speakers close to both sides
of
your TV if that is
more aesthetically pleasing.
Center Channel Speakers - Speakers used as center channel speakers are
designed to place dialogue and primary sounds so that they appear to come
from the video screen. These speakers should therefore be placed/
wall-mounted
horizontally,
as close to the screen as
possible,
preferably at least
1" directly below the screen. The G-42 three-channel soundbar should also be
placed/wall-mounted this
way.
Rear Surround Channel Speakers- Speakers used as surround speakers
should be placed approximately
2 feet
above the listening position. Typically this
will be about
5-7
feet above the floor. The surrounds should
be
placed on the
walls directly adjacent to the listening position. Another option would be on the
wall
behind the
listening
position.
The
final
surround speaker placement
depends
on your room's characteristics.
SPEAKER/SOUNDBAR PEDESTAL INSTALLATION
If you place
your
G-12,G-16,G-28 speakers or G-42
soundbar
on a stand, table,
etc.
(vs. mounting on
the
wall), you
will
need to
attach the
provided tempered
glass pedestals with the included
screws.
Before you attach a pedestal, have
the
speaker wire that
will attach
to that speaker
available since attaching the pedestal and connecting the speaker wire to a speaker
are done
at
the same
time (see
"Connecting"
section for proper wire connection).
The
G
-12,
G -16
and G -28
speakers
can be
attached
vertically or horizontally onto
their pedestals
and,
therefore, have threaded inserts in two different positions on
the rear of these speakers. The G-42 soundbar can only be attached horizontally
to its pedestal. Attach the pedestal
as
follows:
1. Insert speaker wires (one set for
G-12, G-16 and G-28
and three sets, left,
right
and center channel
for
G-42 soundbar)
inside hole
in
pedestal back
and pull
through pedestal top
(See
Diagram
2).
2. Position
speaker/soundbar
on ridge on pedestal top, lining up the holes
in
the top
with
the threaded inserts on the speaker (the G -12 has just one
insert
when
in horizontal position and it should lineup with left hole on
pedestal top). (See Diagram
2)
3.
Using a Phillips
screwdriver, screw
the screws partially into the
speaker
inserts,
without
tightening
them.
(See Diagram
2)
4. If vertical mounting,
attach speaker
wires (see Diagram 1
),
adjust wires
to fit in recessed
area
around terminals and tighten Phillips
screws
on
pedestal. If horizontal mounting, route
speaker
wire
from
the rear center
of speaker
through channel(s)
to
the speaker
terminals, attach speaker
wires in
same
manner
as
vertical
mounting, then tighten Phillips
screws on
pedestal.
With the
G
-42
soundbar,
use both
channels to route all
three sets
of wires to the
speaker
terminals.
(See
Diagram
3)
(Note: using speaker
wire larger than 18 gauge on the G-42 may not allow wire(s) to com-
pletely fit in channels). If needed, use the included
adhesive strip
to hold
excess
wire
in place.
To change
the Klipsch logo direction on the
speaker
front gently
pull
out
one side of
it
and rotate
45·.
