Your new Klipsch architectural speakers have been designed to deliver
great sound while remaining unobtrusive wherever you install them. For
optimum performance, use the SEW-f. SEW-2 or SEW-3 models as front.
center or surround channels in audio or home theater applications, or as
part of a distributed sound system. Use the SEE-1, SCH-2 or Still-3
models for distributed sound in kitchens, hallways or bathrooms. They
are also suitable for use as surround channels.

lW Speaker Placement

Designed to function in any standard wall. ceiling or drop ceiling, Klipsch
in-wall speakers are engineered for years of performance. Minimum
construction requirements call for drywall or other mounting surfaces to
be at least In" thick.

When planning speaker placement, maximum performance is realized
when speakers are placed at equal distance from the listener and along a
common wall.This helps ensure the best stereo effect. For non-critical
listening environments (or when the listening position may vary widely)
speaker placement may he wherever is most convenient. although in these
cases stereo imaging maybe lost. If this option is used, Klipsch
recommends using the "mono" setting on the system's preamplifier.

Tweeter Switch

lf installing in an acoustically bright room, such as some bathrooms and
kitchens, you may want to adjust the tweeter level located on the front
baffle. The position of this switch should always be checked prior to
speaker module installation.

The SEW-2 and SEW-3 feature a rotatable horn which allows the horn to
be toed-in. Before the grille is installed, carefully aim the horn toward the
listening area.
