INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Loudspeaker fidelity depends on the following three factors:

•Loudspeaker accuracy

•Loudspeaker placement

•Listening room acoustics

Advanced JBL design features allow the P81 and P941 to achieve exceptional acoustical precision. However, proper placement and listening room acoustics have a significant impact on the per- formance of the P81 and P941.

CAUTION:

•The P81 and P941 should be installed by a professional.

•Installers must adhere to local build- ing codes to ensure a proper installa- tion. JBL is not responsible for any possible damages caused by improper installation.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT

The P81 and P941 are designed to offer excellent performance in any listening room or home theater system. Abide by the following placement suggestions for optimal results.

2-Channel or Front Left and Front Right in a Home Theater System

The bulleted items that begin below indicate important loudspeaker place- ment considerations for 2-channel or front left and right installations.

•The speakers should be equidistant from the primary listening position and placed at least 4 feet away from the side walls.

•It is recommended that the angle formed between the speakers and the listening area be between 45° and 60.° For example, if the speakers are 8 feet apart, the listening position should be 8 to 12 feet from each speaker. Refer to Figure 6.

•When used as part of a home theater system, excellent results can also be obtained when the speakers must be placed further apart due to a screen.
