General Cautions

• When making or changing any connections to
your system, switch all the electronics OFF.
• Do NOT listen to music for long periods at
extreme volume settings. Doing so can perma-
nently damage your hearing.
• When running loudspeaker cables, do not trail
them over open floor spaces where they could
cause an accident. Cover them or route them
around potential troublespots.
• Before switching on your sound system, turn
the volume level down. After switching the
system on, turn the level up gradually.
• Do not use extreme settings of Treble, Bass or
EQ. Ideally set the tone controls "flat" and turn
any EQ off.

Introduction
For over 60 years, our engineers have sought the ultimate: a loudspeaker that could reproduce recorded music
with all the passion of a live performance. The Palladium™ Series approaches aural perfection, while making a
visual statement that is every bit as elegant and passionate as the sound.
The Palladium Series P-39F floorstander represents the epitome of loudspeaker technology, with remarkable
clarity throughout the dynamic range and bold styling. Today, Klipsch Group, Inc. is a global force, and this flag-
ship loudspeaker reflects that leadership status; design and engineering teams from the United States collabo-
rated with colleagues from Germany and China to plan and execute the Palladium project.
In designing the Palladium P-39F cabinet, we first considered the Klipsch heritage and unique approach to
acoustic design. Trends in home interior and furniture were also factored in, as was the current audio market
landscape.
The result is a speaker that flawlessly melds classic Klipsch®
audio with the latest in home furniture trends. The striking
"boat-tail" design hints at the power and performance in-
side, while maintaining a high degree of sophistication and
beauty. More importantly, the arched shape of the P-39F
flagship loudspeaker actually contributes to its remarkable
sound by breaking up standing waves at higher frequencies.
Power. Detail. Emotion. Combined, these qualities are
the embodiment of our core philosophy. And all are
expressed—beautifully—in the brilliant Palladium P-39F
loudspeaker. We invite you, our customer, to share with
us the pride of ownership in this extraordinary product for
many gratifying years.
