Speaker Setup Considerations
Front speakers typically sound best
when their tweeters are at approxi-
mately ear height for seated listeners.
If this isn’t possible, it is sometimes
beneficial to tilt the speaker down or
up slightly so that it is aimed into the
listening area.
If possible, position the speakers the same distance apart as they are
from the listening position.
Speakers should be pointed straight forward. Do not place the
speakers at an angle.
If you are putting speakers in a cabinet, on a rack or a table, try to
bring them out far enough so that they are at least flush with the
cabinet’s front edge.
When practical, arrange each speaker so that it is at somewhat
different distances from the floor, the wall behind it, and the wall
beside it. It can also help to have the left and right front speakers
at different distances from their nearest side walls. This staggering
helps smooth the bass range. Each speaker can be set on its bottom
or side. If you set them on the side and want to turn the Klipsch logo,
carefully pull the logo forward, turn and release it.
The subwoofer’s output will increase as it is moved closer to walls,
with maximum
output when it is placed in a corner. If practical,
always place the subwoofer near a wall. Additionally, a subwoofer will
deliver the smoothest bass response when placed near a wall away
from openings, such as doors.
Naturally, there are exceptions to the rules, since no two rooms or
systems are exactly alike. Experiment with positioning to get the
best sound.

After you uncoil the speaker cable, connect one speaker to the RIGHT
(Red) connector on the back of your Klipsch system. This speaker will
be to your left when you are behind the system connecting, but it will
be on the right when you are facing the system. You can connect either
speaker to the
LEFT or the RIGHT OUTPUT, you just need to place them
properly.
Connect the other speaker to the
LEFT (White) OUTPUT on the back of
the Klipsch system. The speaker connected to the LEFT OUTPUT will be
to your right when you are behind the system connecting, but it will be
on the
left when you are facing the system.
Rubber pads have been included in the Accessory box. These self
adhesive pads can be applied to the bottom of the speakers.
The CS-700 wirelessly transmits the subwoofer signal from the A/V
Center to the subwoofer. (If you wish to connect the subwoofer with a
standard RCA cable, simply connect one end of the cable to the black
“LFE” OUTPUT on the rear of the A/V Center and the other end to the
“LFE” INPUT on the rear of the subwoofer. Cable not included.)
Plug the power cord into the subwoofer and an AC outlet and turn the
subwoofer
ON.
For best results, the antenna on the rear of the CS-700 A/V Center
should be pointed up.
