The JBL Control NOW speaker can be wall-mounted or corner-mounted, sit on a shelf or be used with floor stands. Two, three or four speakers can be joined together to create loudspeaker solutions for virtually any application. [. . . ] For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i. e. , +). NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and connection options. 1. Insert bare end; release push connector BLACK = -- RED = + When deciding upon a location for the JBL Control NOW speaker, take care NOT to install the mounting bracket closer than 3" (horizontal) and 8-1/2" (vertical) to the ceiling. Any closer than the minimum measurements will not allow the room needed to position and slide the JBL Control NOW speaker into the mounting bracket. 3"Minimum distance from ceiling (horizontal mount) 8-1/2" Minimum distance from ceiling (vertical mount) The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors. To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as shown. See the owner's guides that were included with your amplifier, receiver and television to confirm connection procedures. IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i. e. , + to ­ or ­ to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.
