Features

Overview: The Klipsch HD Theater 1000 is a compact 5.1ch Home Theater Speaker System which consists of five matching satellite speakers (identical main, center and surround speakers) and a single 10" powered subwoofer which provides powerful deep driving bass. This home theater speaker system is simple to set up and use. It consists of left and right main channel speakers for superior stereo sound, a center channel speaker for precise dialogue, left and right rear speakers for lifelike surround sound, and a subwoofer for deep bass effect. The Klipsch HD Theater 1000 has a frequency response of 35Hz to 20kHz. The speaker systems clean, modern design looks great in almost any room. The system's satellite speakers can be mounted vertically or horizontally.

Maximum Acoustic Output: The HD Theater 1000 has a Maximum Acoustic Output of 114 dB. Maximum Acoustic Output is the loudest volume at which the speakers can play, without significant audible distortion and subsequent damage to the speakers' drivers.

5 Matching Satellite Speakers: All five speakers in this home theater system are identical, creating a seamless blend of sound and style. Inside each modern, high-gloss black ABS enclosure, you will find durable, high-quality components that will providesuperior performances for years to come. Each speaker features a 0.75" aluminum dome tweeter coupled to a MicroTractrix Horn and two 2.5" fiber composite cone woofers housed in a bass-reflex enclosure with a rear-firing port. The MicroTractrix Horn technology, an exclusive design of Klipsch, allows the HD Theater 1000 to deliver genuine lifelike sound and produce more output, using less energy. In other words, it does not require a lot of amplifier power to drive it. The satellites have a frequency response of 150 Hz to 20kHz. The satellite speakers are equipped with spring clips terminals on the rear-panel of the cabinet that will accept up to 15 AWG wire. Each speaker is magnetically shielded, so it will not interfere with your TV picture and can be positioned vertically or horizontally next to your HDTV or other type of flat-panel. The satellite speakers can be placed securely on a stand or shelf using the supplied self-adhesive rubber pads or wall-mounted via its rear-panel 1/4"-20 treaded insert using an optional wall bracket (sold separately).

Powered Subwoofer: This home theater system's subwoofer delivers deep, low-end bass thanks to a powerful 200 watt RMS (420 watt peak) digital hybrid subwoofer amplifier and a front-firing 10-inch fiber-composite woofer cone with rubber surround loaded in a bass-reflex enclosure with a front-firing slot port. The powered subwoofer has a frequency response of 35Hz to 120 Hz. The Klipsch powered subwoofer's enclosure features a sleek black pica vinyl finish wrapped MDF cabinet. This powered subwoofer includes volume, crossover and phase controls, so you can customize the level of bass for your room. The powered subwoofer features line-level (RCA) and high-level (speaker) connections. The subwoofer features the following controls and connections.

• Power On/Off: This is the main A/C power switch for the subwoofer. This switch must be in the "On" position for the subwoofer to operate and for the "Auto/On" switch to function. Set this switch to the "Off" position if the subwoofer will not be used for an extended period of time.
• Auto/On: When this switch is in the "Auto" position, the subwoofer will automatically turn "on" when it senses a signal. It will automatically turn "off" after 20 minutes with no signal. When this switch is in the "ON" position, the subwoofer will remain "on" as long as the "Power" On/Off switch is in the "On" position.
• Power LED Indicator: Located on the rear amplifier panel, this LED indicates the operating status of the built-in amplifier. The
  LED will light red when the amplifier is in standby mode and green when the amplifier is on and receiving a signal.
• Gain: This control serves as a volume control for the powered subwoofer. It is used to match the output level of the subwoofer to the system's speakers. The volume control on your system's main amplifier or pre-amplifier will be the overall volume control for the powered subwoofer and satellite speakers.
• Low Pass Crossover: The powered subwoofer's built-in low-pass crossover allows you to select the upper-frequency cutoff of the subwoofer. The frequency is selectable from 40-120Hz. Frequencies above the control's setting are filtered out, allowing you to blend the subwoofer's output with that of the system's speakers. If the low pass filter function is being provided by your speaker's electronics, set the Low-Pass control to 120Hz.
• Phase: This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer's output to the system's speakers. Select the position, either 0° or 180°, in which your subwoofer has more output at the listening position.
• Line-In: This stereo RCA input is designed as the standard or default input for the subwoofer. It accepts signals from the Left and Right channel pre-amp, subwoofer or LFE outputs of your AV receiver via the RCA jack inputs.
• High Level-In: The powered subwoofer can alternately be connected to the main channel speaker outputs of your AV receiver via the speaker level connectors on the subwoofer's rear panel, using 16-gauge or larger speaker wire.
• High Level Out: You can connect the Left and Right Front channel speakers to these terminals instead of those on your amplifier if it is more convenient than connecting them directly to your amplifier. These outputs pass through a full range (unfiltered) signal. This requires that the subwoofer is connected to your amplifier with the High Level-In speaker level terminals

Amplifier Requirements: The Klipsch satellite speakers are high efficient and will work well with a wide variety of amplifiers up to 100 watts. The suggested crossover point for the satellite speakers is between 120 and 150 Hz.

Speaker Placement: Speaker placement can be critical in the performance of any home theater speaker system. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of the Klipsch HD Theater 1000.

• Front Speakers: For optimum performance, place the front satellite speakers 6 to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart and at least 24 inches (60.8cm) from side walls. They may also be toed-in slightly for better stereo imaging. The listening position should be approximately 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the speakers.
• Center Speaker: One of the satellite speakers is used as the center channel. This speaker is designed to place dialogue and primary sounds into the room so they seem to come from the video screen. The center channel should, therefore, be placed as closely as possible to the screen; preferably directly above or below the screen.
• Surround Speakers: Two satellites are used as surround speakers. These create the sense of space and ambience that today's surround sound technologies provide. Surround speakers can be placed adjacent to, or behind, the listening position. The surround speaker placement is approximately 6 ft. from the floor.
• Powered Subwoofer: The Klipsch Powered Subwoofer is designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that make your movies and music come alive. Typically optimum performance will result if you place the subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers. Corner placement will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the amount of bass output.

Care and Cleaning: The satellite speakers and subwoofer have a durable finish that should only require dry dusting. Avoid use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and harsh detergents. The brush attachment of your vacuum or a damp cloth should remove any dust from the speaker grilles.
