SPEAKER PLACEMENT

roper placement of the speakers

s an important step in obtaining the

ost realistic soundstage possible.

These recommendations are for

the optimal placement of the loud-

speakers. Use these placement

ecommendations as a guide. Slight

ariations will not diminish your

listening pleasure.

he P36AW loudspeakers are

ideo-shielded and can safely be

laced near a television.

he loudspeakers are weather-

esistant and may be used either

ndoors or outdoors, such as in a

patio area. As noted below, when

using the speakers outdoors, we

recommend mounting them under

n overhang, such as roof eaves,

or added protection. Because

hey are resistant to moisture, the

speakers are also appropriate for

mounting in a bathroom, although

not inside a bathtub or shower

tall.

Although these loudspeakers are

esigned as a mirrored pair, the

decision as to which one is left or

ight will depend on the amount of

space left between them.

A wider stereo image is presented

with the tweeter/midrange array

outboard, and a tighter image is

presented with the array inboard.

Less than 6 – 8 feet

More than 6 – 8 feet

-2 ft.

or stereo-only applications:

For home theater applications:

This placement provides a wide

spread in sound, supplemented

by the center channel speaker.

Do not attempt to mount these

speakers on a ceiling, on the

underside of roof eaves or in a

shower stall.

The P36AW loudspeakers may be

positioned on the wall either hori-

zontally or vertically. The grille logo

on each speaker may be rotated

depending on how the speaker is

positioned. Gently pull the logo

away from the grille slightly, rotate

it to the desired position, and let go.

The logo will snap back into place.

When mounted vertically, the

tweeter array may be positioned

either up or down, depending on

the height of the placement. If the

speakers will be above ear level,

the tweeter array should be posi-

tioned down, preferably no more

than two feet above ear level. If

the speakers will be mounted very

low, it may be best to position the

tweeter array upward so that it will

be no more than two feet below

ear level.

The enclosures are specially

designed to angle the speakers

toward the listener when mounted

flush against the wall.

When mounting the speakers out-

doors, we recommend that you

place them under an overhang,

such as roof eaves, for added pro-

tection, and that you use two of

the supplied special angle-mount

screws per speaker, which angle

the speakers downward at a

greater-than-usual angle, facilitat-

ing water drainage.

NOTE: When using the enclosed

angle-mount screws, always use

the top two screw locations appro-

priate for the specific mounting

orientation of your P36AW. Refer-

ring to the enclosed installation

template, screw locations (1) and

(2) are to be used when mounting

the speaker horizontally so that

these locations are on top. To

mount the loudspeakers vertically,

use locations (2) and (4)

or loca-

tions (1) and (3), depending on the

mounting orientation. Do not mount

the speaker upside down – with

screw locations (3) and (4) on

top – because it won’t be able

to lock onto the screw heads.

Remember that the JBL logo on

the tweeter/mid faceplate can be

rotated with choice of speaker

position (vertical or horizontal).

At least one screw per speaker

should be installed in a wooden

wall stud. Select an appropriate

wall anchor for the other screw.

If the special angle-mount screws

are not being used, size 10 screws

of at least 1-1/2" in length are rec

ommended. If the screws are used

in drywall or other surfaces inca-

pable of holding the screw by

itself, selection of proper anchors

is essential. The customer is solely

responsible for proper selection

and installation of screws, anchors

and other installation hardware.

Further installation details are

included on the installation

template.

WALL-MOUNTING

(When using angle-mount screws,

always utilize the top

two screw holes on the

P36AW, depending on

mounting orientation.)

Horizontal mounting:

Use screwholes (1) and (2).

Vertical mounting: Use

screwholes (1) and (3), or (2)

and (4), whichever are uppermost.
