JBL STUDIO180 manual Connections, Basic SINGLEWIRE Connection

CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: Make sure that all of the system’s electrical components are turned OFF (and preferably unplugged from their AC outlets) before making any connections.

Speakers and amplifiers have corresponding positive and negative (“+” and “–”) connection terminals. All Studio 1 series speakers have connection terminals that are marked “+” and “–” on the terminal-cup assembly. Additionally, the “+” terminals have red markings, while the “–” terminals have black markings.

To ensure proper polarity, connect each “+” terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective “+” (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the “–” terminals in a similar way. Do not reverse polarities (i.e., “+” to “–” or “–” to “+”) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished bass performance.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the (+) and (–) wires or connectors do not touch each other or the other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your receiver or amplifier.

BASIC SINGLEWIRE CONNECTION

Connect the amplifier to each speaker as shown in the illustration below.

For the Studio 190 and Studio 180 speakers, you can use either set of terminals on the connector panel.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the metal jumpers from between the two sets of terminals when connecting the speaker wires.
