Wall-Mounting
The customer is responsible for
proper selection and use of
mounting hardware, available
through hardware stores, to
properly and safely wall-mount
the speakers.
On the wall. Wall brackets
are included.
On optional stands.
Separate and strip the ends of
the speaker wire as shown.
Speakers and electronics
terminals have corresponding
(+) and (–) terminals. Most
manufacturers of speakers and
electronics, including JBL, use
red to denote the (+) terminal
and black for the (–) terminal.
The (+) lead of the speaker wire
is noted with a stripe. It is
important to connect all
speakers identically: (+) on the
speaker to (+) on the amplifier
and (–) on the speaker to (–) on
the amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound,
weak bass and a poor stereo
image.
With the advent of multichannel
surround-sound systems,
connecting all of the speakers
in your system with the correct
polarity remains equally
important in order to preserve
the proper ambience and
directionality of the program
material.
