CONNECTION TIPS

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

Separate and strip the

ends of the speaker wire

as shown. The wires sup-

plied with the system may

already be stripped and

tinned for easy insertion into

the speaker terminals. You

may need to separate the

two conductors further in

order to thread them through

the shelf stand or floor stand

adaptor. Speakers and elec-

tronics terminals have corre-

sponding (+) and (–) termi-

nals. Most manufacturers of

speakers and electronics,

including JBL, use red to

denote the (+) terminal and

black to denote the (–)

terminal.

The (+) lead of the speaker

wire is noted with a stripe. 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.

With the advent of multi-

channel surround sound

systems, connecting all of

the speakers in your system

with the correct polarity

remains equally important in

order to preserve the proper

ambience and directionality

of the program material.

To use the binding-post

speaker terminals, unscrew

the colored collar using the

supplied wrench until the

pass-through hole in the

center post is visible under

the collar. Insert the bare

end of the wire through this

hole; then screw the collar

down until the connection is

tight. The hole in the center

of each collar is intended

for use with banana-type

connectors. To comply with

European CE certification,

these holes are blocked with

plastic inserts at the point of

manufacture. To use banana-

type connectors requires the

removal of the inserts.
