JBL TiK Sub Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the JBL TiK Sub designed to produce extended, powerful deep bass in any high performance music or home cinema system. While created as an integral part of the acclaimed JBL TiK loudspeaker range, the TiK Sub is also fully compatible with any make or model of high quality main/satellite loudspeakers for state of the art stereo and surround audio.

To ensure correct installation and optimum performance, please take the time to thoroughly read and follow the instructions in this owner’s manual.

UNPACKING

The packing materials are designed to protect the subwoofer from damage during shipment. We advise you to keep the packing materials for future use.

PLACEMENT

Always start with the subwoofer as close to one of the front corners as possible. It is also recommended that the subwoofer be positioned along the same wall as the front loudspeakers. Corner placement provides substantial bass reinforcement. Placement away from corners, near a single wall offers some reinforcement, while placement away from walls offers minimal bass reinforcement.

If bass response is excessive, use the subwoofer’s Level control to reduce bass output. If excessive bass is limited to a few specific frequencies, it may be necessary to modify the acoustical coupling of the subwoofer to the room boundaries and/or to the room modes by moving the subwoofer to a location which provides more evenly balanced bass response.

CONNECTION

The TiK Sub can be connected to your audio system using either line level or speaker level connections. Do not use both at the same time. If available, use line level connection.

The TiK Sub also includes a special balanced XLR DSP In. This connection may be used (with the Input Select switch not pressed in) as a conventional balanced connection, if your receiver/amplifier has a balanced subwoofer output. With the Input Select switch pressed in, this socket may only be used to connect the subwoofer to a JBL TiK Master Sub.

Note: The push-button controls on the rear of the subwoofer are recessed into the rear panel to prevent accidentally activating an unwanted function. To push a button, use a small pointed object such as a pencil, screwdriver, etc.
