User manual JBL SP6C II

[. . . ] In Dolby® Digital and DTS® systems, aim the tweeters toward the listening position at ear-level height. MODEL SP6CSII Model SP6CSII has the capability of playing two channels through one loudspeaker, thanks to its dual-tweeter/dualvoice-coil construction. Since the tweeters are close together, in general they should be aimed away from each other for best coverage. For two-channel (stereo) applications, e. g. , as a single speaker in a remote room of a distributed audio system, install the SP6CSII speaker centrally in the ceiling for best stereo imaging, swiveling the tweeters so that one points toward the left and the other toward the right of the listening position, aimed at earlevel height. [. . . ] To use the push-type speaker terminals, press the red (+) or black (­) cap for the desired terminal, insert the bare end of the speaker wire into the hole below the cap and release the cap. Gently tug on the wire to make sure that it is fully inserted. WIRE LENGTH RECOMMENDED SIZE Up to 20 ft.
