JS43 Owners Manual

Introduction

The Jensen JS43 multi-purpose speakers are designed to deliver accu- rate and powerful high fidelity sound in exterior and interior applica- tions. The versatile weather-resistant construction makes them ideal for temporary or permanent outdoor use. And the full range of sensi- tivity and mounting options makes JS43 equally at home in your home.

For simplicity, we’ll call your AV receiver, stereo receiver or amplifier the receiver.

IMPORTANT- Do not remove the grilles from your speakers. There are no user serviceable parts behind the grille.

Placement Indoors

The Jensen JS43 can be placed horizontally or vertically in any con- venient location in your room - as stereo pairs on either side of your receiver - as surround speakers in home theater surround sound sys- tems that include a subwoofer - in your computer room to enhance the multimedia experience - or as remote speakers in a whole house sound system. For installation ease in wall and ceiling applications, the included Jensen mounting brackets can be used.

You can experiment with various placements, with the knowledge that room acoustics can produce large apparent differences in the sound for small changes in placement location. For example, although the speaker may be located at any height above the floor, locating the tweeter near ear level or angling the entire speaker toward ear level, often provides the most realistic musical imaging.

Another rule to follow is that the amount of bass perceived increases as you move a speaker closer to intersecting room surfaces (walls, ceil- ing, floor) and that the highest level of bass results from placement in a corner at the floor or ceiling.

Placement Outdoors

Note- In some installations, you may find it more convenient to make the speaker wire connections described below before placing the speaker in its final location.

The Jensen JS43 has been tested for environmental usage and is weather resistant. Occasional moisture will not dramatically affect per- formance. To increase speaker life, mount in locations not subject to frequent excessive exposure to water, sun and extreme weather. the speakers should be allowed to ventilate and dry after water exposure.

The Jensen JS43 can be placed permanently outdoors for year-round enjoyment. Popular locations include decks, gazebos, porches, atri- ums, backyards, garages, and spa areas. A particularly practical mounting location is under the eaves of a building adjacent to an out- door recreation area.

For temporary placement, place the speakers in positions that achieve the most satisfying audio performance to your ear.

Speaker Mounting

For ease of installation, the JENSEN JS43 includes a removable mount- ing bracket with each speaker. Once mounted, the bracket allows the Jensen JS43 to be pivoted to its ideal location. The large thumb screws (included), when tightened, will hold the selected speaker position.

Before attempting the installation, carefully evaluate the mounting sur- face, making sure that its composition and construction are strong enough to support the load safely. If you are unsure about the type of mounting hardware for your installation, consult a professional con- tractor or a knowledgeable hardware store. The JS43 bracket is suit- able only for attaching the speaker to walls or ceilings constructed of solid wood, brickwork, concrete, hollow building block or wood studs. Do not mount the bracket to unreinforced plaster or sheetrock (gyp- sum board). Once the bracket is secure, reattach the speaker using the thumb screws included.

Connecting Your Speakers

Speaker Cable-Typical speaker cable has a pair of separate speaker wires with insulating jackets that are molded together. We recommend you use 18-gauge speaker wire for hooking your speak- ers to your receiver.

Polarity- All speakers in a system must be connected with the same polarity. Speaker wire is marked for polarity so that you can identify the individual wires in the molded pair. Polarity is shown by a color stripe on the insulation, by ridges molded into the insulation, or by the colors of the wires–one copper and one silver. See Diagram 1.

Important- Always connect the red (+) terminal on the receiv- er to the red (+) terminal on the back of the Jensen JS43, and the black (-) terminal on the receiver to the black (-) terminal on the back of the Jensen JS43.
