KPT-801
The Klipsch KPT-801 is a two-way design using a high perfor-
mance bass driver for the low frequencies. A Tractrix Horn
with a 90° x 90° coverage pattern is attached to a 1” diam-
eter compression driver for clean and efficient reproduction
of the high and midrange frequencies.
WALL MOUNTING
Included with your speakers are “C” style mounting brackets
constructed of powder-coated zinc. These brackets attach to
the speaker with the supplied 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 alignment of the holes with a torpedo
level before drilling the pilot hole. Please observe local and/
or federal codes in securing the bracket, especially when
suspending objects above people’s heads. Once the bracket
is secured, affix the speaker to the bracket with the supplied
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 contractor in
these situations.
You may also use an optional wall or ceiling mount that will
fit the provided 3/8” – 16 inserts.
PLACEMENT
CONNECTIONS
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
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 consistent.
TYPES OF CONNECTORS
Your speaker is equipped with 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 malfunc-
tion or damage.
SCREEN
Last 25% of wall or 25 ft.
The first surround 1.5 meters from the back wall.
Last surround within .25 (25%) of the length of the side.
Each surround (after first on back wall 1.5 meters from wall)
placed 3 meters from each other.
100 ft. Wall
On the back wall, the first surrounds are
placed 1.5 meters from the side walls, then
each surround is placed 3 meters from each
other until they meet in the middle. (Even
space them) so you are as close to 3 meters
distance between them as possible.
