2. The two satellite speakers should be positioned on each side of your computer monitor. To wall mount, the
pedestal stands may be removed by unscrewing the 1/4" 20-thread bolt, which accommodates a wide
variety of wall brackets available through stereo and appliance stores. Klipsch WB-1 wall brackets are
available at www.klipsch.com.
3. Locate the subwoofer either directly under your computer desk, or close to the satellite speakers. Do not
cover up the side sub driver or front port of the enclosure and be sure to provide enough ventilation to the
rear of the subwoofer. It is normal for this panel to be warm to the touch. The subwoofer should be no clos-
er than 10" to the computer monitor to avoid interference.
4. Speaker or power cables running across an area of heavy foot traffic should be positioned against a wall or
corner and secured with tape.

1. Plug the ProMedia 2.1 control pod input cable into the soundcard output jack on the rear of the PC. Since
the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 has its own internal amplifier, it was designed to hook into the line out connector.
Connection to the speaker level output jack might result in poor sound quality.
2. Connect the control pod output, which is the round multi-pin plug, into the subwoofer "Preamp Input."
3. From the subwoofer, connect the two remaining individual speaker wires to each of the two satellites. Be
sure to observe proper polarity (+/-) for the tinned wire ends that connect to the subwoofer.
