Subwoofer Output

The JBL On Air WEM-1 includes a subwoofer output ￿on the receiver module. This output allows you to feed the low-frequency sounds to a separate powered subwoofer. A powered subwoofer will deliver deeper bass response than is possible with speakers alone.

To connect a powered subwoofer to the receiver module, simply connect the Sub Out ￿on the receiver module to the line-in on the rear of the powered subwoofer, using a 1/8-inch stereo mini-jack/RCA cable (not included). Please note that this output is full-range and not filtered or low-passed. Make sure that your powered subwoofer features a low-pass crossover network and that this crossover is indeed selected. Do not use the LFE input on a powered subwoofer, as it is not filtered and you will be hearing a lot of undesirable higher-frequency information from your subwoofer.

A Word About Wireless Products

The JBL On Air WEM-1 utilizes advanced wireless transceivers operating in the 2.4GHz frequency band. This is the same frequency band that is used for wireless home networks and high-quality cordless phones. It also allows the transmission of high-performance, full-spectrum sound to remote locations, wirelessly.

Like all wireless devices, the WEM-1 wireless speaker’s operating range may vary, depending upon variables such as building construction methods and materials, atmospheric conditions and other sources of interference. Please consult your JBL dealer or distributor, or visit www.jbl.com, for further information or assistance.
