Introduction
The Jensen CYCLONE II multi-purpose speakers are designed to
deliver accurate and powerful high fidelity sound in exterior and
interior applications. The versatile weather-resistant construction
makes them ideal for temporary or permanent outdoor use. And
the full range of sensitivity and mounting options makes CYCLONE
II very 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 speak-
ers. There are no user serviceable parts behind the grille.
Placement Indoors
The Jensen CYCLONE II can be placed horizontally or vertically in
any convenient location in your room - as stereo pairs on either
side of your receiver - as center or surround speakers in home
theater surround sound systems that include a subwoofer in your
computer room to enhance the multi-media 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 rooms
surfaces (walls, ceiling, 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 CYCLONE II has been tested for environmental usage
and is weather resistant. Occasional moisture will not
dramatically affect performance. 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 CYCLONE II can be placed permanently outdoors for
year-round enjoyment. Popular locations include decks, gazebos,
porches, atriums, backyards, garages, and spa areas. A
particularly practical mounting location is under the eaves of a
building adjacent to an outdoor 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 CYCLONE II includes a
removable mounting bracket on each speaker. This bracket fea-
tures three sets of mounting holes on three different surfaces
allowing you to mount the speaker horizontally, vertically or at a
45-degree angle. Once mounted, the bracket allows the Jensen
CYCLONE II to be pivoted to its ideal location. The large thumb
screws (included), when tightened, will hold the selected speaker
position. There is also a hex-headed screw molded into the thumb
screws. This allows for loosening and tightening by hand or with
the help of an allen wrench.
Before attempting the installation, carefully evaluate the
mounting surface, 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 contractor or a knowledgeable
hardware store. The CYCLONE II bracket is suitable 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
(gypsum 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 speakers 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
receiver to the red (+) terminal on the back of the Jensen
CYCLONE II, and the black (-) terminal on the receiver to the black
(-) terminal on the back of the Jensen CYCLONE II.
