Introduction
For over 60 years, our engineers have sought the ultimate: a loudspeaker that could reproduce recorded music
with all the passion of a live performance. The Palladium™ Series approaches aural perfection, while making a
visual statement that is every bit as elegant and passionate as the sound.
The Palladium Series P-39F floorstander represents the epitome of loudspeaker technology, with remarkable
clarity throughout the dynamic range and bold styling. Today, Klipsch Group, Inc. is a global force, and this
flagship loudspeaker reflects that leadership status; design and engineering teams from the United States
collaborated with colleagues from Germany and China to plan and execute the Palladium project.
In designing the Palladium P-39F cabinet, we first considered the Klipsch heritage and unique approach to
acoustic design. Trends in home interior and furniture were also factored in, as was the current audio market
landscape.
The result is a speaker that flawlessly melds classic
Klipsch® audio with the latest in home furniture trends.
The striking “boat-tail” design hints at the power and
performance inside, while maintaining a high degree of
sophistication and beauty. More importantly, the arched
shape of the P-39F flagship loudspeaker actually
contributes to its remarkable sound by breaking up
standing waves at higher frequencies.
Power. Detail. Emotion. Combined, these qualities are
the embodiment of our core philosophy. And all are
expressed—beautifully—in the brilliant Palladium P-39F
loudspeaker. We invite you, our customer, to share with
us the pride of ownership in this extraordinary product
for many gratifying years.

Preparing the loudspeaker
Connection Procedure:
There is a specific procedure to be followed:
• Switch off and unplug the amplifier/s and all source electronics from the mains power.
• Place both loudspeakers in the general area where you want them.
• Place each loudspeaker on its side, in its partial packing, as described in the unpacking instructions.
• Connect each loudspeaker.
• Attach the spikes following the instructions under the "finalizing the assembly" section of this manual
• Dress the loudspeaker cable between the rear spikes.
• Stand the loudspeaker upright using great care not to damage connecting cables, furniture or the floor.
• Lift off the top packing piece and the protective cloth bag.
• Run both sets of loudspeaker cable to the amplifier
• Connect the amplifier
• Finalize the position of the loudspeakers.
• Finally fit the grilles (if desired)
TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE DRIVE UNITS WHEN YOU MOVE THE LOUDSPEAKERS AROUND.
TO PRESERVE THE FINISH, USE THE PROVIDED GLOVES WHEN HANDLING YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS.
Fitting and Removing the Grilles
The grilles are magnetically attached to the cabinet. Specially designed magnets
are housed inside the front wall of the loudspeaker so that if you wish to operate
the loudspeaker with the grilles removed, no grille mounting hardware is visible.
This preserves the smooth lines of the loudspeaker.
To fit the grilles: Fit the top grille first and line it up with the top and sides of the
cabinet. There is a small lip on the top of the grille that should rest on the top of
the cabinet. Now fit the lower grille lining up the top of the lower grille with the
bottom of the upper grille. You may now remove the top grille if you wish.
Although operating the P-39F loudspeakers with the grilles on or off is a matter
of personal taste, moving or connecting the loudspeakers should always be done
with the grilles removed. Be especially careful not to touch the drive units.
Which Way Round?
The P-39F is manufactured in matched pairs and “handed”. Our preferred
method of positioning is to place the loudspeakers with the ports facing
outward. However this may not be suitable for all rooms, so be prepared to
experiment.
Page 5
Never allow objects of furniture to impede the loudspeaker or place objects between the loudspeakers and
the listening position.
Stereo Positioning
The generally accepted norm is that
the loudspeakers should be as far
away from each other as they are from
the listener. This places the listener
and the loudspeakers at the points of
an equilateral triangle.
Well designed horn loudspeakers
have “controlled directivity” - the
dispersion pattern is tailored to
providing the ideal image at the
listener’s ear. This is in contrast to
conventional speakers where the
sound tends to fire off in all directions.
It follows that when correctly sited, the performance of a well designed horn loudspeaker significantly exceeds
that of conventional “direct radiator” loudspeakers.
Because the bass drivers are in a tuned port enclosure, the loudspeakers must be operated away from walls
and specifically corners. The distances in the above diagram should be considered as minimum distances.
Placing them too close to the walls will cause the bass to become bloated, muddy and indistinct.
The angle at which the loudspeakers are placed relative to the rear wall is called
“toe-in”. Placing the loudspeakers with their backs parallel to the wall will result in
a poor stereo image with the so called ”hole in the wall” effect. Angling the
speakers inwardly too much will restrict the width of the listening seat and also
tend to narrow the stereo image.
In smaller rooms, it is better to place the loudspeakers more closely together and sit
relatively further back. This is preferable to placing the loudspeakers further apart
and sitting too close - the stereo effect will be significantly degraded if you do.
The height of the loudspeaker is important. The midrange should appear to radiate from a point level with the
ears of a seated listener. As these loudspeakers are large, they will sound their best in large rooms, though there
are some adjustments that can be made to redress the position in smaller rooms. These will be discussed in the
section on final positioning.
The above are our recommendations. Be prepared to experiment until the sound is exactly as you want!

Positioning Loudspeakers - Home Theater
The same general positioning rules as for stereo apply but these are some variations.
• The loudspeakers can be placed closer together. Remember that the closer the speakers are to one another
the less spacious the sound will be in Stereo.
• The “toe-in” can be lessened. This will broaden the sound image for more than one listener, but the pinpoint
localization of the speakers will be lessened
• The fronts of the speakers should be in line with the screen and with the front of the center loudspeaker as
far as possible. Placing the TV screen on the wall (and center channel directly above or below) with the main
loudspeakers protruding significantly is not ideal.
• The TV should be placed centrally between the loudspeakers.
General Observations
• Set the size of the speakers on your AV processor to “large”.
• For Stereo listening (if your processor offers the option) set the subwoofers to “off”. Alternatively, set the
subwoofer lowpass crossover point such that it covers only the lowest octave; ~ 50 Hz.
The above are our recommendations. Be prepared to experiment until the sound is exactly as you want!

Cables, Crossovers and Connections
For best results connect your loudspeakers with purpose-designed loudspeaker cable.
The cables to both loudspeakers should be of equal lengths and be of a gauge
sufficient to drive the speakers comfortably without any loss of power in the bass at
high volumes.
We recommend a minimum wire diameter of 14 AWG. if you are in any doubt ask your
Klipsch dealer for advice. Because of the location of the terminal panel you should
connect the loudspeakers before you connect the amplifier. If you are replacing a
existing pair of loudspeakers we suggest you de-wire the amplifier first.
There are two Crossover Networks in the P-39F.
One panel is a dedicated bass network. The second panel is a network for the midrange and treble units . The
networks terminate in a custom designed tri wire terminal panel located above the loudspeaker pedestal
under the loudspeaker. As the bass, midrange and treble elements can be separately connected, three types of
wiring are possible- standard wiring, bi-wiring and tri wiring.
The terminal panel accepts a wide variety of connectors including spade lugs, pins or bare wire. If you have no
preference, your dealer can advise you as to appropriate connectors. The instructions in this user guide relate to
bare wire. If you use alternative connectors consult your dealer or the hardware supplier’s literature.
Standard loudspeaker cable comprises two conductors with one core having a ridge or
stripe. We suggest you connect the striped conductor to the Positive (RED) terminal in all
cases. This will ensure that the loudspeakers are properly connected and in phase.
Split the cable to a depth of 1½”. Strip ½” of insulation. If the wire is stranded, lightly twist
the ends together to ensure no stray ends of cable can short adjacent terminals.
Connecting a terminal
Partially unscrew the terminal.
1: In the base of the terminal there is a hole. Insert the bare end of the wire into the
hole.
2: Tighten each connector hand tight. After connecting all the terminals, check
that there are no stray strands of bare wire that can reach across and short out
adjacent terminals.
3: When you are sure that all the connections are correct, insert the Allen key into
the socket in each terminal head and tighten fully to secure them. DO NOT over-
tighten the terminals or you may damage them. (An Allen key (hex wrench) is
provided in the accessories carton).

The P 39-F Terminal Panel
As supplied positive and negative terminals of the Treble, Midrange and Bass Terminal pairs are strapped
together with a three way strap. A pair of two way straps is provided in the accessories carton for bi-wiring. This
is how you should prepare the terminal panel for each wiring option.
Standard (Single) Wiring
The straps are left in place as supplied. Connection may be made to any pair of terminals.
You will need two loudspeaker cables of equal lengths, one for each loudspeaker.
Partially unscrew one Positive and one Negative terminal Connect the Positive + RED terminal of the
loudspeaker to the striped conductor or (if you are using custom cable) to the conductor designated by the
cable manufacturer. Connect the Negative – BLACK terminal to the plain conductor. Do not connect the
amplifier at this time.
Important Note. After connecting and placing the loudspeaker upright the connections will be hidden from
view. We strongly recommend that you identify each cable to eliminate possible difficulties down the line.

Bi Wiring
Bi-wiring reduces unwanted interactions between the bass drivers and the midrange and treble units.
True bi-wiring is connecting separate cables from the bass terminals and the midrange/treble terminals to a
common connection at the amplifier. Several cable manufacturers produce specialzed cables where one cable
jacket contains four cables thus enabling bi-wiring within one cable cluster. This eliminates the need to run
separate cables and simplifies connection. In any case the method of connection is the same.
Prepare the crossover panel as shown on the previous page. Proceed as for standard wiring but connect one
cable to the bass terminals of the speaker. Connect a second cable to the midrange and treble terminals. Refer
to the diagram. After connection tighten all the terminals with the supplied wrench as shown previously.
Tri Wiring
The logical extension to bi-wiring is tri-wiring where all the elements of the loudspeaker are separately
connected to the amplifier.
To tri-wire, you need to remove all the straps connecting the terminal pairs and then connect three cables as
shown in the diagram below. After connection tighten all the terminals with the supplied wrench as shown
previously.
Important Note. After connecting and placing the loudspeaker upright the connections will be hidden from
view. We strongly recommend that you identify each cable to eliminate possible difficulties down the line.
