ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE

Thank you for your purchase of Klipsch Heritage loudspeakers.

After reading this manual and connecting your system, you will

hear the result of over 60 years of stringent engineering and

class-leading research and development. Like all Klipsch

products, your loudspeakers feature Klipsch Horn-loaded

Technology—the guiding design for the first Klipschorn

developed in 1946 and for every Klipsch product that has

followed. Horn-loading allows your speakers to deliver very

high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low distortion, controlled

dispersion and flat frequency response. This translates to

unequaled power, detail and dynamics, the hallmarks of

“The Klipsch Sound.” Please be sure to fill out the warranty card

at the back of this manual or online at www.klipsch.com so we

are better able to serve you. Again, thank you for choosing

Klipsch and we hope that your speakers bring life to your music

and movies for many years.

PAUL W. KLIPSCH

The Klipsch Heritage loudspeakers are the direct result of the

engineering design genius of Paul W. Klipsch. The technology

incorporated into these loudspeakers is as valid today as it

was in 1946 when Paul started Klipsch and Associates with

the launch of the Klipschorn®. The founder of our company

has been lauded as a pioneer and visionary in the audio

industry. Paul has had a remarkable career, the pinnacle of

which was his induction into the Engineering and Science Hall

of Fame in 1997. This honor puts him in such distinguished

company as Thomas Edison, George Washington Carver and

the Wright brothers, among others. Paul’s life was filled with

notable distinctions, including the 1994 dedication of the

Klipsch Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at

New Mexico State University, Paul’s alma mater. In 1978, Paul

was awarded the prestigious Silver Medal by the Audio

Engineering Society of America as well as being inducted into

the Audio Hall of Fame. These are but a few of the achieve-

ments of a great audio engineer and an even greater man.

Hi-Fidelity magazine said about Paul that he was, “the image

of one who pushes toward the frontier and reestablished it

wherever he arrives.” The November 1986 issue of Audio

magazine sums up Paul W. Klipsch and his influence on the

industry, ”. . . the Klipschorn along with its designer Paul

Klipsch, are true legends in the field of high-fidelity sound.

Nothing I could write would do complete justice to its

description.”

KLIPSCHORN

Paul Klipsch’s design goal was to reproduce the dynamics and

excitement of a live symphony orchestra performance in

his living room. An engineering breakthrough when it was

introduced, the Klipschorn®remains one of the most highly

praised loudspeakers in the world and is the only loudspeaker

that has been in continuous production for over 60 years. The

Klipschorn is a testament to design that stands the test of

time. With extremely high sensitivity, this three-way, fully horn-

loaded loudspeaker features a folded tri-hedral bass horn that

utilizes the walls and corners of the listening room as part of

its design. This combination of attributes enables it to span

more than nine full octaves with dynamic, smooth, ultra low

distortion sound.

LA SCALA II

The La Scala was developed as a more portable Klipschorn to

serve as a public address speaker for the 1963 gubernatorial

campaign of Winthrop Rockefeller. Like the Klipschorn, it

displays extremely high sensitivity and is a fully horn-loaded,

three-way speaker featuring a shorter, two-fold bass horn that

can operate independently of listening room corners. As a

result, the La Scala’s only sonic compromise as compared to

the Klipschorn is a slightly higher bass cutoff.

CORNWALL III

The Cornwall was introduced in 1959 as a larger full range

alternative to the Heresy as a center channel speaker in a

English

three-speaker stereo array. It provides the full range bass

response of the Klipschorn with sensitivity and output

approaching the fully horn-loaded models. Like the Heresy, the

Cornwall is a three-way design utilizing horn-loaded compres-

sion drivers for midrange and treble frequencies and a direct

radiating 15-inch woofer for the low frequencies.

HERESY III

First introduced in 1957, the Heresy started life as a compact

center channel speaker for the Klipschorn in three-speaker

stereo arrays. The Heresy is a compact, three-way design that

uses horn-loaded compression drivers for midrange and treble

reproduction and a direct radiating 12-inch woofer for the low

frequencies.

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY

Heresy III and Cornwall III

The Heresy III and Cornwall III models are large, heavy speak-

ers. It is recommended that two people unpack and install

these models. Open the top carton flaps, invert the carton and

pull it up and off of the speaker. Remove the internal packing

and save for future use.

Klipschorn and LaScala II

The Klipschorn and La Scala II low and high frequency

cabinets are shipped in two separate cartons. These are large,

heavy speakers. Unpacking and setup will require two people.

The Klipschorn and LaScala II high and low frequency

cabinets are matched by serial number for proper

acoustic performance. Please take care to match upper

and lower cabinet serial numbers when assembling these

loudspeakers.

Klipschorn

Open the flaps of the larger low frequency carton labeled

“Open This End”, invert the carton and lift it off of the speaker

cabinet and remove the inner packing. The top of the cabinet,

with its three rubber spacers, should be facing up (See Figure

1). Slide the bass cabinet into the corner where it will be

placed for a test fit and make note of any obstructions that

interfere with a tight fit. Remove the cabinet from the corner to

install the high frequency cabinet. Position the speaker near,

but not tight into, the corner and remove the low frequency

grille (two wing nuts) on the input panel side of the cabinet

and set aside until the connection process is complete.

Open the top flaps of the smaller high frequency carton

marked “Open This End” and remove the packing pad. Lift the

high frequency cabinet out of the carton and set it on top of

the low frequency cabinet. Align the three rubber bumpers on

the top of the low frequency cabinet with the three recesses

on the underside of the high frequency cabinet. Thread the

high and mid frequency driver leads in the upper cabinet

through the hole in the cabinet’s lower panel. Connect the

Green (+) tagged pair of wires to the pair of binding posts

labeled “Tweeter Out.” Take care to match the Red (+) and

Black (-) binding posts with the Green (+) and Black (-)

sleeves on the ends of these wires. Follow this same proce-

dure to connect the Yellow tagged pair of wires to the pair of

binding posts labeled “Mid Out.” (See Figure 5.)

La Scala II

Open the flaps of the larger low frequency carton labeled

“Open This End.” Invert the carton, lift it off of the speaker

cabinet and remove the inner packing. The top of the cabinet,

with its three rubber spacers, should be facing up (See

Figure 2).

For the La Scala II high frequency cabinet, open the top flaps

of the smaller carton marked “Open This End,” and remove the

inner packing pad. The bottom of the cabinet should be facing

up with the low frequency connection cable attached to it. Free

this cable, invert the carton and lift it off the cabinet. With

assistance, lift the high frequency cabinet off the floor and

place it on top of the low frequency cabinet while placing the

low frequency cable toward the rear and out the gap between

the cabinets. Align the recesses on the bottom surface of the

high frequency cabinet with the rubber bumpers on the top of

the low frequency cabinet. Connect the low frequency cable to

the two screw barrier strip on the rear of the low frequency

cabinet. Be sure to observe proper polarity by connecting the

wire with the Red Indicator to the terminal with the Red mark-

ing and the wire with the Black indicator to the other terminal.

PLACEMENT

Your Klipsch Heritage loudspeakers will perform well in a

variety of locations but best results will be achieved using the

following general guidelines:

• All: Place on a common wall 6 to 15 feet apart.

• La Scala, Cornwall, Heresy: Position them equidistant from

the wall behind the speakers.

• Heresy: Equidistant height above the floor with the high

frequency drivers at seated ear height if wall or cabinet

mounted.
