S26/38/310/312 O/G S26, S38, S310, S312 D E S I G N G O A L : Bring the thrill of live performance and movie sound to the home environment by calling on JBL's professional engineering leadership. [. . . ] Slight variations will not diminish your listening pleasure. All of the Studio Series loudspeakers are videoshielded and can safely be placed near a television. MODELS: S310, S312 MODEL: S26 As Front Speakers As Surround Speakers 5 ­ 6 ft. MODEL: S38 The S38 can be oriented either horizontally or vertically; however, best performance will result from For stereo-only applications: Less than 6 ­ 8 feet horizontal placement. Although these loudspeakers are designed as a mirrored pair, the decision as to which one is left or right will depend on the amount of space left between them. More than 6 ­ 8 feet A wider stereo image is presented with the tweeter/midrange array outboard, and a tighter image is presented with the array inboard. This placement provides a wide spread in sound, supplemented by the centerchannel speaker. For Home Theater applications: 0-2 ft. 3 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (­) terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (­) on the speaker to (­) on the amplifier. Wiring "out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. RIGHT LEFT ­ + ­ + ­+ ­ + Speaker Outputs MODELS S310 & S312 Without pad With pad These models are shipped with four self-adhesive nonskid pads that are to be used when the loudspeaker is intended to be placed on a smoothsurfaced floor, such as tile or hardwood. Gently lay the speaker on its side (not its front or back) on a soft nonabrasive surface. Attach each pad to the bottom of its foot in the widest portion of the recessed area. DO NOT attach the pads if the speaker will be placed on carpeting. NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the pads, the feet and/or the wood cabinet itself. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its new location. 4 TROUBLESHOOTING If there is no sound from any of the speakers: · Check that receiver/ amplifier is on and that a source is playing. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier. If there is no sound coming from one speaker: · Check the "Balance" control on your receiver/amplifier. · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. · Make sure all wires are connected. [. . . ] · Check all connections between processor/ amplifier and the center speaker. 5 S P E C I F I C AT I O N S S26 Description: Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power*: Nominal Impedance: Sensitivity (2. 83V/1m): Frequency Response (­3dB): Crossover Frequency: High-Frequency Transducer: 2-Way 6" bookshelf S38 3-Way 8" horizontal, mirror-image bookshelf 175W 8 Ohms 89dB 45Hz ­ 20kHz 800, 3200Hz 1" Pure-titanium dome, with rubber surround, shielded; Elliptical Oblate SpheroidalTM (EOS) waveguide 4" PolyPlasTM (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone, rubber surround, shielded; Linear Field ProximityTM (LFP) bezel 8" PolyPlasTM (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone, rubber surround, SFGTM magnetic , shorting rings, high-temp oversized Kapton® voice coil, HeatScapeTM motor structure, cast-aluminum baskets, shielded Low Diffraction, IsoPowerTM FreeFlowTM flared Straight-Line Signal PathTM (SSP) All-metal, gold-plated, 5-way binding posts 11-1/2" x 17-1/2" x 12-7/8" 292mm x 445mm x 327mm 28lbs, 12. 7kgs 150W 8 Ohms 87dB 48Hz ­ 20kHz 2000Hz 1" Pure-titanium dome, with rubber surround, shielded; Elliptical Oblate SpheroidalTM (EOS) waveguide NA Midrange Transducer: Low-Frequency Transducer(s): 6" PolyPlasTM (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone, rubber surround, SFGTM magnetic , shorting rings, high-temp oversized Kapton® voice coil, HeatScapeTM motor structure, cast-aluminum baskets, shielded Low Diffraction, IsoPowerTM FreeFlowTM flared Straight-Line Signal PathTM (SSP) All-metal, gold-plated, 5-way binding posts 17" x 10" x 10" 432mm x 254mm x 254mm 22lbs, 10kgs Baffle: Port: Network: Terminals: Dimensions (H x W x D): Weight per Speaker: 6 S310 Description: Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power*: Nominal Impedance: Sensitivity (2. 83V/1m): Frequency Response (­3dB): Crossover Frequencies: High-Frequency Transducer: 3-Way 10" floorstanding 200W 8 Ohms 91dB 40Hz ­ 20kHz 850, 3500Hz 1" Pure-titanium dome, with rubber surround, shielded; Elliptical Oblate SpheroidalTM (EOS) waveguide 4" PolyPlasTM (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone, rubber surround, shielded; Linear Field ProximityTM (LFP) bezel 10" PolyPlasTM (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone, rubber surround, SFGTM magnetic , shorting rings, high-temp oversized Kapton® voice coil, HeatScapeTM motor structure, cast-aluminum baskets, shielded Low Diffraction, IsoPowerTM FreeFlowTM flared Straight-Line Signal PathTM (SSP) All-metal, gold-plated, 5-way binding posts 34-1/2" x 13" x 12" 876mm x 330mm x 305mm 50lbs, 22. 7kgs S312 3-Way 12" floorstanding 250W 8 Ohms 92dB 35Hz ­ 20kHz 750, 3000Hz 1" Pure-titanium dome, with rubber surround, shielded; Elliptical Oblate SpheroidalTM (EOS) waveguide 4" PolyPlasTM (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone, rubber surround, shielded; Linear Field ProximityTM (LFP) bezel 12" PolyPlasTM (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone, rubber surround, SFGTM magnetic , shorting rings, high-temp oversized Kapton® voice coil, HeatScapeTM motor structure, cast-aluminum baskets, shielded Low Diffraction, IsoPowerTM FreeFlowTM flared Straight-Line Signal PathTM (SSP) All-metal, gold-plated, 5-way binding posts 41" x 16" x 12-7/8" 1041mm x 406mm x 327mm 68lbs, 31kgs Midrange Transducer: Low-Frequency Transducer(s): Baffles: Port: Network: Terminals: Dimensions (H x W x D): Weight per Speaker: *The maximum recommended amplifier power rating will ensure proper system headroom to allow for occasional peaks.
