KLIPSCH Forte-IV Floor standing Loudspeaker User Manual
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
PLACEMENT
Your Klipsch Forte loudspeakers will perform well in a variety of locations but the best results will be achieved using the following general guidelines:
- Place on a common wall 6 to 15 feet apart.
- Position them equidistant from the wall behind the speakers.
- Angle speakers toward the listener and even with or forward any adjacent obstructions.
- Placing them near a corner or wall provides the greatest amount of bass while moving the speakers away from room boundaries reduces bass energy.
- The Forte features a rear-firing 15” passive radiator that requires the loudspeaker to be placed at least 1” away from the back wall. For optimal low-bass performance, it is recommended the loudspeaker be placed within 2 to 10 inches of the back wall.
- Asymmetrical placement of a pair of speakers from adjacent side walls can smooth room-induced bass unevenness.
- Experiment with the above guidelines to suit your taste and to compensate for your room’s acoustic characteristics.
- Self-stick rubber pads are supplied for attachment to the bottom of the riser for use on hard floors.

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 70 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.” Again, thank you for choosing Klipsch and we hope that your speakers bring life to your music and movies for many years.
