CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS TO THE REST OF YOUR SYSTEM

To connect the
Synthesis Three loud-
speakers to the
receiver or power
amplifiers, use two-
conductor insulated
speaker wire.  We rec-
ommend #14 AWG
wire as a minimum
size.  Your JBL dealer
can recommend suit-
able cables, or you
can buy this type of
wire at most hardware
stores.  

The terminals on the back of the speakers accept both bare wire and dual banana
plugs, either of which will provide easy, secure connections.

PREPARING THE HOOKUP WIRE

1.  First determine the distance between your amplifier and the most distant speaker in
each group (fronts, surrounds, subwoofers).

2.  Now make the hookup wires for all speakers in each group this length, even if one
speaker is much closer to your amplifier than the other.  This will help maintain proper
signal balance.

3.  Strip of 3/8” of insulation from both ends of each conductor.

4.  Twist each set of thin wires into a tightly-bunched spiral.

5.  Now find a visual difference between the two conductors of each molded pair of
speaker wire.  Differentiating marks can be a different color wire (copper or silver); a
strand of yarn in one conductor; thin, raised ribs on one part of the outer insulation; or
a printed marking on one part of the outer insulation.  It doesn’t matter which of the two
strands go to the (+) and (-) on the speakers and amplifiers, as long as all speakers
