SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

CONNECTION TIPS

Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown. The wires supplied with the system may already be stripped and tinned for easy insertion into the speaker terminals. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and

(–) terminals. Most manu- facturers 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 both speakers identically:

(+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the ampli- fier. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

With the advent of multi- channel 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.

To connect the supplied speaker wires to the speaker terminals, press the red or black plastic tab for the desired terminal, insert the bare end of the wire into the hole and release the tab. Gently tug on the wire to make sure that it is fully inserted.
