PLACEMENT
STEREO
Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room and think
about placement, keeping the following points in mind and using Figure 1
as a guide:
• For best results, place the speakers 6'–8' (1.5m–2.5m) apart.
• Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately at ear level.
• Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a
wall or corner.
• Refer to “Home Theater” below if you also plan to use the speakers for
home theater reproduction.
Figure 1. Experiment with speaker placement to obtain
the best bass level and stereo imaging in your room.
HOME THEATER
For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on the right,
along either side of the television monitor. Since the speakers are magnetically
shielded, you can place them near a CRT TV without worrying about the
magnetic field distorting the TV picture.
Forsurround-channel use, place speakers on bookshelves or stands alongside
the listening position. Control Monitor loudspeakers are also wall-mountable.
Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of space and your
listening preference (Figures 2 and 3).
In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening
position, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
NOTE: A JBL powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both
music and film soundtracks. Contact your JBL dealer for recommendations
on subwoofer models for your particular application.
Figure 2. This overhead view shows a typical home theater plan. Left/right
rear channels are for a 7-channel system. The center rear channel is for
a 6-channel system.
Figure 3. This figure shows an alternate layout, which may be more suitable
for some rooms. Left/right rear channels are for a 7-channel system. The
center rear channel is for a 6-channel system.
INSTALLING FEET
The supplied self-adhesive rubber feet may be attached to the bottom corners
of your speakers to protect your furniture.
