KPT-801 The Klipsch KPT-801 is a two-way design using a high \Rperfor- mance bass driver for the low frequencies. A Tractrix Horn with a 90° x 90° c\Roverage pattern is attached to a 1 diam- eter compression driver for clean and efficient reproduction of the high and mid\Rrange frequencies. WALL MOUNTIN\b Included with your speakers are C style mounting brackets constructed of powder-coated zinc. These brackets attach to the speaker with the suppli\Red low profile knobs that thread onto the top and bottom studs protruding from the cabinet. This allows the speaker to be angled to the left or right when mounted vertically, or up and down when mounted horizon- tally. When mounting horizontally, lock nuts are provided for both studs for optimum speaker stability. After determining the desired location and orientation of your speakers, remove the bracket from the loudspeaker and use it as a template to mark the location of the mount - ing holes. Check the alignm\Rent of the holes with a torpedo level before drilling the pil\Rot hole. Please observe local and/ or federal codes in securing the bracket, especially when suspending objects above people\fs heads. Once the bracket is secured, affix the speaker to the bracket with the supplie\Rd knobs. Be sure to leave enough clearance between the end of the bracket and any adjacent wall or ceiling for installation of the knobs. If a wall stud is not available, use the appropriate type of drywall or masonry anchor to support the weight of the speaker, allowing for a generous safety margin. Please con- sult your dealer, custom installer or building \Rcontractor in these situations. You may also use an optional wall or ceiling mount that will fit the provided 3/8 -“ 16 inserts. PLA\fEMENT \fONNE\fTIONS When making any type of speaker wire connection, be sure to observe proper polarity. Most speaker wire and connec- tors are color-coded. Typically, red is positive (+) and black is\R negative (-“), or ground. It does not matter which wire con- ductor is connected to the positive or negative connection of your equipment as long as it is\R consistent. TYPES OF \fONNE\fTORS Your speaker is equipped wit\Rh barrier strip connectors for inputs. Make sure that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two lugs. Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in amplifier m\Ralfunc- tion or damage. S\fREEN Last 25% of wall or 25 ft. The first surrou\fd 1.5 meters from the \back wall. Last surrou\fd withi\f .25 (25%) of the le\fgth of the side. Each surrou\fd (after first o\f \back wall 1.5 meters from wall) placed 3 meters from each other. 100 ft. Wall O\f the \back wall, the first surrou\fds are placed 1.5 meters from the side walls, the\f each surrou\fd is placed 3 meters from each other u\ftil they meet i\f the middle. (Eve\f space them) so you are as close to 3 meters dista\fce \betwee\f them as possi\ble.
