Introduction

The Jensen CYCLONE II multi-purpose speakers are designed to

deliver accurate and powerful high fidelity sound in exterior and

interior applications. The versatile weather-resistant construction

makes them ideal for temporary or permanent outdoor use. And

the full range of sensitivity and mounting options makes CYCLONE

II very equally at home in your home. 

For simplicity, we’ll call your AV receiver, stereo receiver or 

amplifier the receiver.

IMPORTANT

- Do not remove the grilles from your speak-

ers. There are no user serviceable parts behind the grille.

Placement Indoors

The Jensen CYCLONE II can be placed horizontally or vertically in

any convenient location in your room - as stereo pairs on either

side of your receiver - as center or surround speakers in home

theater surround sound systems that include a subwoofer in your

computer room to enhance the multi-media experience - or as

remote speakers in a whole house sound system. For installation

ease in wall and ceiling applications, the included Jensen 

mounting brackets can be used.

You can experiment with various placements, with the knowledge

that room acoustics can produce large apparent differences in the

sound for small changes in placement location. For example,

although the speaker may be located at any height above the

floor, locating the tweeter near ear level or angling the entire

speaker toward ear level, often provides the most realistic 

musical imaging.

Another rule to follow is that the amount of bass perceived

increases as you move a speaker closer to intersecting rooms 

surfaces (walls, ceiling, floor) and that the highest level of bass

results from placement in a corner at the floor or ceiling.

Placement Outdoors

Note- 

In some installations, you may find it more convenient

to make the speaker wire connections described below before 

placing the speaker in its final location.

The Jensen CYCLONE II has been tested for environmental usage

and is weather resistant. Occasional moisture will not 

dramatically affect performance. To increase speaker life, mount

in locations not subject to frequent excessive exposure to water,

sun and extreme weather. the speakers should be allowed to 

ventilate and dry after water exposure.

The Jensen CYCLONE II can be placed permanently outdoors for

year-round enjoyment. Popular locations include decks, gazebos,

porches, atriums, backyards, garages, and spa areas. A 

particularly practical mounting location is under the eaves of a

building adjacent to an outdoor recreation area. 

For temporary placement, place the speakers in positions that

achieve the most satisfying audio performance to your ear.

Speaker Mounting

For ease of installation, the Jensen CYCLONE II includes a 

removable mounting bracket on each speaker. This bracket fea-

tures three sets of mounting holes on three different surfaces

allowing you to mount the speaker horizontally, vertically or at a

45-degree angle. Once mounted, the bracket allows the Jensen

CYCLONE II to be pivoted to its ideal location. The large thumb

screws (included), when tightened, will hold the selected speaker

position. There is also a hex-headed screw molded into the thumb

screws. This allows for loosening and tightening by hand or with

the help of an allen wrench.
Before attempting the installation, carefully evaluate the 

mounting surface, making sure that its composition and 

construction are strong enough to support the load safely. If you

are unsure about the type of mounting hardware for your 

installation, consult a professional contractor or a knowledgeable

hardware store. The CYCLONE II bracket is suitable only for 

attaching the speaker to walls or ceilings constructed of solid

wood, brickwork, concrete, hollow building block or wood studs.

Do not mount the bracket to unreinforced plaster or sheetrock

(gypsum board). Once the bracket is secure, reattach the speaker

using the thumb screws included.

Connecting your Speakers

Speaker Cable-

Typical speaker cable has a pair of

separate speaker wires with insulating jackets that are molded

together. We recommend you use 18-gauge speaker wire for

hooking your speakers to your receiver.

Polarity- 

All speakers in a system must be connected with

the same polarity. Speaker wire is marked for polarity so that you

can identify the individual wires in the molded pair. Polarity is

shown by a color stripe on the insulation, by ridges molded into

the insulation, or by the colors of the wires – one copper and one

silver. See Diagram 1.

Important- 

Always connect the red (+) terminal on the

receiver to the red (+) terminal on the back of the Jensen

CYCLONE II, and the black (-) terminal on the receiver to the black

(-) terminal on the back of the Jensen CYCLONE II.
