Bass Management
When using your speakers in a home theater system, consult
the owner’s manual of your surround electronics for proper
application of bass management settings.
On Wall Placement
• Klipsch Icon bookshelf models may be wall-mounted using
the 1/4-20 threaded insert on the rear of the speaker. Be sure
the mounting hardware you are using has the necessary load
bearing capabilities before hanging any speaker. If you use
a bracket, see the bracket owner’s manual for mounting details.
• As a general rule, compact speakers (Bookshelf, Center
Channel and Surrounds) are set to the “Small,” or bass-
limited setting.
• Floorstanding speakers are typically set to the “Large,” or
full-range setting.
• Also refer to the electronics instructions for adjusting the
relative volume levels of the speakers so they are at the same
level when listened to from the primary listening position.
Never use the wall bracket for mounting the speaker to
the ceiling.
Care and Cleaning
Connecting
• Occasional dusting or wiping of the cabinet with a cloth
is all that is required. Never use abrasive or solvent type
cleaners or harsh detergents.
• A vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment may be used
to clean the grille fabric.
Turn your amplifier off before making any
connections.
• Your loudspeakers are equipped with positive (Red) and negative
(Black) connection terminals on the rear of the cabinet. These
correspond to the positive and negative terminals on the

appropriate channel (left, right, center, rear etc.) of your amplifier.
Standard Connections (See Figure 4.)(All Models)
• All speakers in your system must be connected in phase with
the positive speaker terminal connected to the positive
amplifier terminal. Repeat this for the negative speaker
terminal and amplifier terminals. Most speaker wire has
distinguishing markings on the insulation of one of the
conductors to assist in correct hookup.
• Use 16 gauge (AWG), two conductor, copper wire at a
minimum and larger gauge wire for longer runs. The
connection terminals on your loudspeaker will accommodate
bare wire, spade terminals, and banana plugs.
With all connection types, take care that there is no
contact between the positive and negative terminals
at the speaker and amplifier. Damage to your equipment
may result.
WF-35 and WF-34 Standard Connections
• Use either pair of positive and negative terminals keeping the
metal coupling straps in place.
