OWNER’S MANUAL

RECOMMENDED RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER POWER TO USE WITH KLIPSCH CP SPEAKERS

A speaker can be damaged just as easily with too little power as

with too much power. A general rule is when you raise the volume

level on a receiver/ampliﬁer past the “one half” (or “12 o’clock”

position with a marked volume knob), that receiver/ampliﬁer is now

starting to work beyond its capabilities, sending harmful distortion

that can damage any speaker, no matter how many watts that

speaker is rated to accept. This is true for any speaker and receiver/

ampliﬁer combination. The recommended wattage to use on your

new Klipsch CP speaker depends on which one you have you have:

CP-4: up to 50 watts continuous (for an extended period of time);

200 watt “peaks” (very short bursts/surges)

CP-6: up to 75 watts continuous (for an extended period of time);

300 watt “peaks” (very short bursts/surges)

HOOKING SPEAKERS UP TO AN AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER

When connecting speakers to an ampliﬁer/receiver, always

make sure speaker polarity is correct and the best sound is

obtained by connecting amp/receiver positive (+) to speaker

positive (+) and amp/receiver negative (-) to speaker negative

(-). The CP speaker terminals are designed to accept up to 16

gauge wire.

One pair of Klipsch CP Series speakers, 8 Ohms, can connect to

the left/right speaker terminals of any 8 Ohm rated ampliﬁer/

receiver as shown:

IF YOU WISH TO USE TWO PAIRS OF KLIPSCH CP

SERIES SPEAKERS ON ONE AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER

WE RECOMMEND ONE OF TWO METHODS:

Method 1 (Preferred): IF your amp/receiver has both A

and B speaker terminals, connect one pair to A and one

to B. Depending on your amp/receiver’s capability you

can then either play Speaker pairs A and B together or

separately or Speaker pair A OR Speaker pair B only.

Method 2: IF YOUR AMP/RECEIVER IS RATED TO 4

OHMS OR LESS make a parallel wire connection as shown

from the amp/receiver’s right and left speaker terminals.

Your amp/receiver may output more power to the

speakers this way (check amp/receiver speciﬁcations).

OTHER POSSIBLE SPEAKER CONNECTION OPTIONS:

Series Wiring of Two Pairs to one Amp/Receiver:

Instead

of a parallel connection using a series connection as

shown has the amp/receiver work at 16 Ohms but this cuts

the power going to each of the speakers usually in half.

If you are using a surround (7/9/11 channel) receiver

that receiver MIGHT allow connection of an additional

pair of speakers to unused surround channels for use in a

different listening area or may have a “Zone 2” capability

to connect those speakers (check your receiver manual)

Using an outboard speaker switcher:

Several types of

available selector boxes allow hookup of multiple pairs

of speakers to one ampliﬁer/receiver and allow switching

between them. Some models allow simultaneous play of two

pairs of speakers. (see your audio dealer for availability).

SUGGESTED SPEAKER PLACEMENT (CONTINUED)

If speakers are covering a very

large listening area (i.e. large

patio/deck) you may be able

to send a mono signal (L+R

channel) to both speakers so

that all listeners hear everything

even if far from one speaker. See

ampliﬁer/receiver manual to see if

it allows this.

(It is recommended when mounting CP

speakers outdoors to shield them from

direct rain, etc. by mounting under eaves

or another type of cover.)

Other Mounting/Placement Tips:

• Mounting a speaker in a corner or wall/ceiling

c o r n e r w i l l i n c r e a s e i t s b a s s r e s p o n s e a n d l o u d n e s s

make sure a speaker is not mounted/placed where an

obstruction is in front of it that blocks sound

• Aiming a speaker at the main listening area reduces

reﬂections from walls/ceilings and improves sound quality

• When covering a large area such as a deck or patio, you

can send a mono signal (left + right channel) if your amp/

receiver allows through each speaker instead of stereo so

if listeners are spread out they hear all of the music.

CP SERIES

Thank you for your purchase of the Klipsch CP Series speakers!

They are designed to both withstand the rigors of outdoor use

while also complimenting any indoor décor as either a stereo pair

or surround speakers in a home Theater system. The included,

unique wall bracket provides for easy horizontal or vertical wall-

mounting and even allows for a tight mounting tucked into a corner

for a highly aesthetic look that also adds bass output. Shelf or

table placement is an added option. The exclusive Klipsch 90°x

90° Tractrix® Horn not only provides controlled coverage, reducing

reﬂected sound which harms overall sound quality, but also gives

you more sound output from the same amount of power input

compared to other designs. The long-throw woofers are combined

with front-ﬁring ports for tight, musical bass no matter how they

are mounted or placed.
