JBL Consumer Products SPEAKER PLACEMENT · As a general rule, bass response increases as a subwoofer is placed closer to a wall. Therefore, bass output is maximized when the subwoofer is placed in a corner. · It is also recommended that the subwoofer be positioned along the same wall as the front loudspeakers. Low-frequency sounds are normally omnidirectional, meaning the listener can't tell where they are generated from. However, frequencies between 75Hz and 150Hz can be localized, especially at higher volume levels. Positioning your subwoofer as recommended will provide the most natural soundstage and imaging from your loudspeaker system. Remember that these are just guidelines. Since every listening room is different, JBL strongly recommends experimenting with the positioning of your subwoofer to obtain the most pleasing results in your room. Connect the free end of the (+) lead for the left input on the subwoofer to the left binding-post terminal. Repeat this process for the (­) connections for the left front Left Front speaker and left input on the subwoofer, and then for the (+) and (­) connections for the right front speaker and right high-level inputs on the subwoofer. Connect your receiver or amplifier's center and surround speaker terminals to the corresponding terminals on the back of your center and surround speakers. + ­ Center Right Front + ­ + ­ Subwoofer L HIGH LEVEL IN + Left Front ­ Receiver Center R Right Front + ­ Twist Here + ­ Twist Here + ­ Left Surround Right Surround + ­ + ­ Left Surround Right Surround + ­ + ­ To front left (+) terminal on receiver/amplifier 4 Analog Receiver/Processor ­ Line-Level Connections Use this installation method with an analog receiver/ processor that does not have digital processing or bass management, and that is equipped with a full-range subwoofer output or a volumecontrolled preamp (line-) level output: Use RCA-type interconnect cables to connect the linelevel subwoofer outputs on your receiver or amplifier to the line-level inputs on the subwoofer.
