Important Safety Information
2
These models are supplied with self-stick rubber feet to prevent
surface damage. (See Figure 1 for proper application.)
Bookshelf and Center
Thank you for your purchase of this Icon Series Loudspeaker. In total,
there are five wood finish models within the Icon Series: the WF-35
and WF-34 floorstanding speakers, the WB-14 bookshelf speaker,
the WC-24 center channel speaker and the WS-24 surround channel
speaker.
All of these speakers utilize a new wide dispersion Tractrix® Horn-
loaded tweeter with XT
TM technology. This proprietary design radiates
sound in a smooth, enveloping 80-degree by 80-degree pattern. As
with all Klipsch horn-loaded technology, this version also produces
more output using less energy and delivers the company’s signature
dynamic sound.
Please be sure to fill out the product registration card included with
this manual or online at www.klipsch.com so we are better able to
serve you.
Icon Series Loudspeaker
Your Icon loudspeakers will perform well in a variety of locations,
but best results will be achieved using the following guidelines:
Front Left and Right Speakers (See Figures 2A and 2B.)
• Place on a common wall 6 to 15 feet apart.
• If used in a home theater system, position the speakers
flanking your video display.
• Position them equal distance from the front wall (if they are
not wall-mounted).
• Position them at the same height above the floor
(for non-floor standing models) with the high frequency
drivers at seated ear height.
• Angle speakers toward the listener and even with or forward
of any adjacent obstructions (if they are not wall-mounted).
• Placing them near a corner or wall provides the greatest
amount of bass while moving the speakers away from room
boundaries reduces bass energy.
• Asymmetrical placement of a pair of speakers from adjacent
side walls can smooth room-induced bass unevenness.
• Bookshelf models may be placed on shelves, optional floor stands
or on walls using appropriate brackets.
• Experiment with the above guidelines to suit your taste and to
compensate for your room’s acoustic characteristics.
