PLACEMENT

STEREO

Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room and think about placement, keeping the following points in mind and using Figure 1 as a guide:

•For best results, place the speakers 6'– 8' (1.5m– 2.5m) apart.

•Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately at ear level.

•Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall or corner.

•Refer to “Home Theater” below if you also plan to use the speakers for home theater reproduction.

HOME THEATER

For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on the right, along either side of the television monitor. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them near a CRT TV without worrying about the magnetic field distorting the TV picture.

For surround-channel use, place speakers on bookshelves or stands alongside the listening position. Control Monitor loudspeakers are also wall-mountable. Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of space and your listening preference (Figures 2 and 3).

In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

NOTE: A JBL powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your JBL dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for your particular application.
