While JBL has designed the elements of the system to handle installation, we are not responsible for the elements to which our products are installed, nor for the methods utilized to attach to those elements. Install the components of the SMS1 System on sturdy, fixed structures that are capable of supporting not only the overall weight of the component, but also the position of the center of gravity.

And of course, be sure to always follow local, regional and national guidelines and codes that pertain to installation of these products.

Placement

Physical placement of loudspeakers is a combination of Science and Art. It is as much mathematical as it is aesthetic. This section will cover some basic principles and ideas for the placement of Satel- lites and Subwoofers. It is important to decide on the location of the loudspeakers prior to the installation of brackets, wires, and components.

The two primary elements in placement are coverage and balance. Coverage is the amount of physical area that is getting relatively the same volume of sound. Balance is the presence of relatively equal volumes of low, middle and high frequencies across the greatest possible coverage. It is important to know that there is no perfect room and no perfect placement to give complete coverage and complete balance. But, with a few guidelines, both coverage and balance can be maximized.
