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

l

istening

position

about

1

to

1

.5

times

the

distance

separating

the

speakers.

Excellent

sound

can

st

ill

be

achieved

by

placing/wall-mounting

these

speake

rs

close

to

both

sides

of

your

TV

if

that

is

more

aesthe

t

ically

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

speake

rs

should

therefore

be

placed/

wall-mounted

horizontally,

as

close

to

the

screen

as

possib

le,

preferably

at

least

1"

directly

be

l

ow

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

opt

i

on

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

"Co

n

necting"

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

f

or

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

wi

th

left

hole

on

pedestal

top).

(See

Diagram

2)

3.

Using

a

Phillips

screwdriver,

screw

the

screws

partially

into

the

speaker

inserts,

wi

thout

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

Ph

ill

ips

screws

on

pedestal.

If

horizontal

mounting,

route

speaker

wire

f

rom

the

rear

center

of

speak

er

through

channel(s)

to

the

speaker

terminals,

attach

speaker

wires

in

same

manner

as

vertica

l

mounting,

then

tighten

Phillips

screws

on

pedestal.

With

the

G-42 s

oundbar

,

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

wir

e

in

place.

To

change

the

Klipsch

logo

direction

on

the

speaker

front

gently

pull

out

one

side

of

it

and

rotate

SPEAKER/SOUNDBAR

ON-WALL

INSTALLATION

If

you

mount

your

G-12,G-16,G-28

speakers

or

G-42

soundbar

on

a

wall,

do

not

attach

the

pedestals.

Determine

a

suitable

location

for

each

speaker

to

wall-mount

and

complete

all

wiring

to

all

speaker

positions

before

mounting

speakers

to

the

wall.

Do

not

ceiling-mount.

1.

If

you

have

the

G-28

or

G-42,

use

included

template

and

choose

mount

position

for

the

speaker

(horizontal

or

vertical).

template

to

wall,

mak-

ing

sure

it

is

level

(when

horizontally

mounting)

or

plumb

(when

vertically

mounting)

and

positioned

correctly,

centered

with

the

TV's

center

points

for

example.

Mark

on

wall

the

pilot

hole

locations

through

the

template

and

remove

template.

If

you

have

the

G-12

or

G-16,

mark

on

wall2

pilot

hole

points

9.26"apart

for

the

G-12

or

13.25"apart

for

the

G-16

(make

sure

the

points

are

lined

up

so

that

the

speaker

hangs

straight

up

and

down

verti-

cally

or

level

horizontally).

For

all

speakers,

Leave

a

minimum

of

one

inch

space

between

speaker

cabinet

and

TV.

Keep

in

mind

that,

when

mounted,

the

speaker

will

"lock"

into

position

5/16"

lower

than

where

the

pilot

holes

are

drilled.

2.

Pre-drill

pilot

holes

in

marked

locations.

If

drilling

into

a

wall

stud

(ideal)

it

is

recommended

to

use

#1

0

mounting

screws

(not

included)

to

mount

the

speaker

bracket

(G-28

and

G-42)

or

the

speaker

itself

(G-12

and

G-16).

If

there

is

no

stud

where

a

pilot

hole

is

located,

install

wall

anchors

(not

included)

into

the

pilot

holes

to

hold

the

bracket

or

speaker

instead.

Wall

anchors

should

be

rated

to

at

least

6

pounds

(G-12

and

G-16)

or

12

pounds

(G-28

and

G-42).

3.

If

vertical

wall-mounting,

feed

speaker

wire

into

speaker

bottom

area

and

attach

each

wire

to

appropriate

screw-terminal

binding

post

(See

Diagram

2)

.

If

horizontal

wall-mounting,

feed

speaker

wire

to

channel(s)

that

start

on

the

back

center

part

of

the

speaker,

then

continue

run-

ning

wire

through

the

channel(s)

and

attach

each

wire

to

the

appropri-

ate

screw-terminal

binding

post

the

same

as

if

vertical

mounting

.

(See

Diagram

3)

(Note:

using

speaker

wire

larger

than

18

gauge

may

not

allow

wire(s)

to

completely

fit

in

channels).

If

needed,

stick

the

included

adhesive

strip

on

a

point

over

the

channel

to

hold

the

wires

in

place

in

the

channel.

To

change

the

Klipsch

logo

direction

on

the

speaker

front

gently

pull

out

one

side

of

it

and

rotate

45·.

4.

Gently

push

the

speaker

onto

the

two

tabs

on

the

mounted

bracket

through

its

keyholes

(G

-

28

and

G-42)

or

onto

the

two

screws

in

the

wall

(G-12

and

G-

16)

and

push

5/16"

down

to

lock

into

position.

CONNECTING

Connection

-

Using

16-gauge

or

larger

speaker

wire

,

con-

nect

the

RED

"positive"

(+)

terminal

of

the

LEFT

speaker

to

the

RED

"positive"

(+)terminal

of

your

amplifier's

LEFT

channel.

Connect

the

BLACK

"negative"(-)

place

by

magnets

imbedded

in

a

slot

on

each

side

of

the

rear

of

the

cabinet.

Carefully

pull

the

metal

rod

away

from

one

side,

then

the

other

to

remove

grill.

The

grill

is

designed

to

be

as

lightweight

and

acoustically

transparent

as

possible

so

there

is

no

rigid

framework

behind

it.

Because

of

this,

it

might

be

necessary

to

"smooth"

the

cloth

once

the

grill

is

attached

to

the

cabinet

by

us-

ing

two

thumbs

to

pull

the

cloth

taught

from

top

to

bottom

(or

side

to

side

if

unit

is
