How to use

Place the active R-51PM speaker on a stable surface such as a desk, bookshelf or dedicated stand, leaving some space behind the cabinet for bass reflex performance. Connect source devices using Bluetooth for wireless streaming or use USB, optical or analog inputs for direct wired connections. If using a turntable, connect through a phono pre-amp input as required. Adjust volume and source selection on the speaker as needed. For stereo playback, pair with a second R-51PM or compatible Klipsch passive/active speaker according to the manufacturer’s wiring guidelines.

Recommendations

For best sonic balance, position the speaker at ear height when seated and allow a small distance from side walls. Add a Klipsch subwoofer to extend low-frequency output for full-range 2.1 playback in larger rooms or for home-theater-style listening.
