SINGLE-CHANNEL WIRING
1. Use the cable assembly provided. Run the cable assembly down the drop
tube; run the four sets of paired wires out through the wire access holes,
as shown.
NOTE: This procedure is applicable for both large- and small-diameter
drop tubes. A large-diameter drop tube is shown here.
Single-channel wiring.
NOTE: This procedure is applicable for both large- and small-diameter
drop tubes. A large-diameter drop tube is shown here.
2. Connect the wires to the terminal assembly of each speaker as shown.
Place the speaker on the mounting bracket, as shown in step 6 of the mounting-
bracket-installation procedures. Return to the installation procedures and
continue.
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making
any connections. For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire
with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is
usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +).
NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and
connection options.
The speakers have coded terminals that
accept a variety of wire connectors. The most
common connection is shown in the diagram
to the left. To ensure proper polarity, connect
each + terminal on the back of the amplifier
or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal
on each speaker, as shown. Connect the
– (black) terminals in a similar way. See
the owner’s guides that were included with
your amplifier, receiver and television to
confirm connection procedures.
IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making
connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.
