JBL SC305 owner manual Placement, Connections, Preparing the hookup wire

Magnetic Shielding: prevents stray magnetic fields from creating any interference or distortion of the video picture. This allows placement of the SC305 directly on top of, or directly below the video monitor.

Cabinet Design: the multi-angled cabinet provides options of locating the SC305 directly on top of the video monitor or on the floor in front of the monitor.

PLACEMENT

As the center channel contains the dialog and other central action sounds, the speaker should be locat- ed very close to the video monitor centered with the monitor's center line. The SC305 can be placed in two loca- tions:

1)On top of the video monitor. Place the large flat bottom of the speaker directly on top of the monitor, with the front edge of the speaker grille flush with the edge of the moni- tor. The speaker grille/baffle should be pointing directly at the listener. See Fig. 1.

2)On the floor directly in front of the monitor. Place the angled side of the cabinet on the floor so that the speak- er grille/baffle is pointing directly

at the listener. The grille can be removed and re-installed so the JBL Logo is oriented properly. See Fig. 2.

CONNECTIONS

To connect the SC305 to the center channel output of your AV receiver or amplifier, use two-conductor insulated wire. Your JBL dealer can recommend suitable cables, or you can buy wire at most hardware stores. We recom- mend #16 AWG wire as a minimum size. If your speaker is more than 30 feet (10 m) from your AV receiver or amplifier, use larger diameter wire. Connections are made at the termi- nals located on the back of the SC305 speaker. The terminals accept bare wire or dual banana plugs, either of which will provide easy, secure con- nections.

Preparing the hookup wire

1.First determine the distance between the most distant speaker.

2.Now make the hookup wires for both speakers this length, even if one loudspeaker is much closer to your amplifier than the other. This will help maintain proper signal balance.

3.Strip off 3/8" of insulation from both ends of each conductor.
