OIIDSPEAKERS
1--------
(CA-525T,
CA-650T,
CA-BOOl)
The
Klipsch
Reference
All-Weather
loudspeakers
are
two-way
designs
using
a
high
performance
bass
driver
for
the
low
frequencies.
A
Tractrix
Horn
with
a
90°
x
90°
coverage
pattern
is
attached
to
a
1"
diameter
compression
driver
for
clean
and
efficient
reproduction
of
the
high
and
midrange
frequencies.
(CA-BOO-TSW)
The
CA-BOO-
TSW
is
an
innovative
approach
that
delivers
low
frequency
sound
in
outdoor
applications.
This
subwoofer
has
been
designed
to
complement
any
of
the
indoor
or
CA
speakers
and
deliver
strong
bass
response
in
a
variety
of
applications.
It
incorporates
a
built-in
low-pass
crossover
that
ensures
a
seamless
blend
between
the
subwoofer
and
the
models
used
for
high-frequency
reproduction
and
allows
for
simple
wiring
configurations.
Klipsch
Commercial
All-Weather
loudspeakers
are
constructed
from
UV-resistant,
glass-
reinforced
polypropylene
and
are
remarkably
durable
against
the
elements.
They
can
be
painted
to
match
any
trim
or
siding
color.
~
PLACEMENT
I
The
Commercial
All-Weather
models
are
perfect
for
patios,
decks,
swimming
pools,
porch-
es
or
any
other
place
where
exposure
to
the
elements
makes
conventional
loudspeaker
usage
unsuitable.
(CA-525T,
CA-650T,
CA-BOOl)
To
achieve
the
best
performance
from
your
speakers,
place
the
pair
on
the
same
wall
facing
the
listening
area
and
space
them
six
to
fifteen
feet
apart.
For
a
higher
Quality
stereo
image,
angle
down,
or
toe
in,
the
speakers
toward
the
primary
listening
area.
This
is
especially
important
in
installations
that
place
the
speakers
well
above
ear
level.
Some
additional
bass
will
result
if
you
place
the
speakers
in
a
corner
or
near
a
~all.
This
provides
greater
bass
coupling
due
to
the
additional
reflected
energy
from
the
walls.
(CA-BOO-TSW)
The
CA-800-
TSW
can
be
installed
in
a
large
variety
of
locations
due
to
bass
frequencies
being
less
directional
than
high
frequencies.
You
will
achieve
better
results
if it
is
installed
in
a
corner
or
near
a
wall
where
additional
energy
can
be
reflected
from
the
walls.

WALL
MOUNTING
1 _
Included
with
your
speakers
are
"C"
style
mounting
brackets
constructed
of
weather-
resistant,
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
horizontally.
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
mounting
holes.
Check
the
alignment
of
the
holes
with
a
torpedo
level
before
drilling
the
pilot
hole.
Use
#10-12
2.5"
-
3"
long
pan
head
screws
to
attach
the
bracket
into
a
wall
stUd.
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
consult
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.
Please
see
your
authorized
Klipsch
dealer
to
see
which
model
is
right
for
you.
