Placement

ATX Series loudspeakers are designed to give very good per- formance in a wide variety of placements. Best results, how- ever, will be obtained when the speakers are placed on a strong and sturdy stand at a lit- tle distance from walls and cor- ners. Placement in corners will increase the amount of bass, which can result in a “heavy” or “boomy” sound. If such placement is unavoidable, it is recommended that you use the tone control on the amplifier or receiver to reduce the bass. For good stereo imaging, we suggest that you begin with the two loudspeakers about

2.5metres from your listening position and at a similar distance apart.

1.52 – 1.83m

(5 – 6 ft.)

Every room is different and we strongly recommend that you experiment a little from this basic starting position in order to get the most pleasant results.

Connections

To connect the loudspeaker system to your amplifier or re- ceiver use two-conductor insu- lated wire. For each channel, the red terminal on the loud- speaker should be connected to the red or (+) loudspeaker terminal on the amplifier or receiver and the black terminal on the loudspeaker should be connected to black or (-) termi- nal on the amplifier. We recom- mend 1.3 mm wire as minimum, but longer wire runs might require thicker wire. If in doubt, please consult your authorized JBL dealer who can recom- mend suitable cables.
