JBL 406-000-05970-E Wall-Mounting, Wiring the System, Final Adjustments, Standard Connection

WALL-MOUNTING

NOTE: The customer is responsible for proper selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores), to properly and safely wall-mount the module.

Step 1.

Run the speaker wire through the hole in the center of the bracket, as shown in Figure 4.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE ALL EQUIPMENT IS TURNED OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +).

NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and connection options.

Step 2.

Attach the bracket to the wall in the desired location, using the appropriate screws and anchors, as shown in Figure 5.

Speaker Wire

Figure 8. This figure shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals.

The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors. The most common connection is shown in Figure 8.

To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respec- tive + (red) terminal on each speaker, as shown in Figure 9. Connect the

–(black) terminals in a similar way. See the owner’s guides that were included with your amplifier, receiver and television to confirm connection procedures.

Step 3.

Using the supplied Allen wrench, remove the screws and end caps from the top and bottom of the speaker, as shown in Figure 6.

Step 4.

Connect the speaker wire to the speaker, as described in “Wiring the System.”

Step 5.

Slide the speaker into the bracket, aligning the holes in the bracket with the threaded inserts in the top and bottom of the speaker, and reattach the screws and end caps removed in Step 3, as shown in Figure 7.

Step 6.

Hand-tighten securely. You may angle the speaker up to 15 degrees to the right or the left before final tightening.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT REVERSE POLARITIES

(I.E., + TO – OR – TO +) WHEN MAKING CONNECTIONS. DOING SO WILL CAUSE POOR IMAGING AND DIMINISHED BASS RESPONSE.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS

Check the speakers for playback, first by setting the system volume control to a minimum level, and then by applying power to your audio system. Play a favorite music or video segment and increase the system volume control to a comfortable level.

NOTE: You should hear balanced audio reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum. If not, check all wiring connections or consult the authorized JBL dealer from whom you purchased the system for more help.

The amount of bass you hear and the stereo-image quality will be affected by a number of different factors, including the room’s size and shape, the construction materials used to build the room, the listener’s position relative to the speakers, and the position of the speakers in the room.

Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level. If there is too much bass, move the speakers away from nearby walls. Conversely, if you place the speakers closer to the walls, there will be more bass output.

CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM

Each enclosure has a finish that does not require any routine maintenance. When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or dust from the enclosure or grille.

NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the cabinet or grille.
