INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the JBL TiK Sub designed to produce
extended, powerful deep bass in any high performance music or
home cinema system. While created as an integral part of the
acclaimed JBL TiK loudspeaker range, the TiK Sub is also fully
compatible with any make or model of high quality main/satellite
loudspeakers for state of the art stereo and surround audio.
To ensure correct installation and optimum performance, please
take the time to thoroughly read and follow the instructions in this
owner’s manual.
UNPACKING
The packing materials are designed to protect the subwoofer from
damage during shipment. We advise you to keep the packing
materials for future use.
PLACEMENT
Always start with the subwoofer as close to one of the front corners
as possible. It is also recommended that the subwoofer be
positioned along the same wall as the front loudspeakers. Corner
placement provides substantial bass reinforcement. Placement away
from corners, near a single wall offers some reinforcement, while
placement away from walls offers minimal bass reinforcement.
If bass response is excessive, use the subwoofer’s Level control to
reduce bass output. If excessive bass is limited to a few specific
frequencies, it may be necessary to modify the acoustical coupling
of the subwoofer to the room boundaries and/or to the room modes
by moving the subwoofer to a location which provides more evenly
balanced bass response.
CONNECTION
The TiK Sub can be connected to your audio system using either
line level or speaker level connections. Do not use both at the same
time. If available, use line level connection.
The TiK Sub also includes a special balanced XLR DSP In. This
connection may be used (with the Input Select switch not pressed
in) as a conventional balanced connection, if your receiver/amplifier
has a balanced subwoofer output. With the Input Select switch
pressed in, this socket may only be used to connect the subwoofer
to a JBL TiK Master Sub.
Note: The push-button controls on the rear of the subwoofer are
recessed into the rear panel to prevent accidentally activating an
unwanted function. To push a button, use a small pointed object
such as a pencil, screwdriver, etc.
