CONNECTIONS
1 _
The
CA-525T, CA-650T,
CA-800T
and
CA-800TSW
include
a
multi-tap
transformer
for
70
or
100
volt
installations.
There
is
also
a
bypass
position
that
allows
normal
8
ohm
operation
for
installa-
tions
that
do
not
require
a
transformer.
The
switch
is
on
the
back
of
the
speaker
and
can
be
set
using
a
small
ftat
head
screwdriver.

When
making
any
type
of
speaker
wire
connection,
be
sure
to
observe
proper
polarity.
Most
speaker
wire
and
connectors
are
color-coded.
Typically,
red
is
positive
(+)
and
black
is
negative
(-),
or
ground.
It
does
not
matter
which
wire
conductor
is
connected
to
the
positive
or
negative
connection
of
your
equipment
as
long
as
it
is
consistent.
~
BUT
FIRST:lYPES
OF
CONNECTORS
1 _
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
malfunction
or
damage.
An
optional
Weatherization
and
Safety
kit
is
available
from
your
Klipsch
dealer.
You
may
want
to
install
this
in
instances
where
the
speaker
connections
are
directly
exposed
to
the
ele-
ments.
This
kit
also
includes
a
security
cable
that
provides
a
secondary
measure
of
safety.
~
PAINTING
1 _
The
grille
and
cabinet
of
your
speakers
may
be
painted.
For
best
reSUlts,
lightly
sand
all
sur-
faces
to
be
painted
(cabinet
and
grille)
with
300-400
grit
sandpaper.
Wash
these
surfaces
with
a
moistened
cloth
dipped
into
a
mild
detergent
to
remove
any
fingerprints
or
grease.
Allow
speaker
to
dry
before
painting.
Care
must
be
taken
to
mask
off
the
front
of
the
speaker
to
protect
the
tweeter,
woofer
and
front
panel
from
overspray.
This
will
maintain
the
existing
uniform
dark
color
behind
the
grille
and
protect
the
woofer
and
tweeter
from
being
damaged
by
the
paint.
Affix
masking
tape
to
the
inboard
wall
of
the
grille
groove
and
attach
plastic
or
newspaper
to
the
tape
to
cover
the
entire
front
panel
of
the
speaker.
Also
before
painting,
mask
the
speaker
wire
barrier
strips
on
the
rear
of
the
cabinet
to
preserve
their
conductivity.
Remove
the
grille
before
painting.
For
best
reSUlts,
use
several
light
coats
of
paint
instead
of
one
heavy
coat.
This
will
help
prevent
the
perforations
in
the
grille
from
becoming
clogged
with
paint.
