User manual JBL L200

[. . . ] This overhead view shows a 6- or 7-channel home theater system arrangement. You may also follow these general placement suggestions when installing the speakers in the ceiling. 2 PLACEMENT STEREO Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room and think about placement, keeping the following points in mind, and using Figure 1, on previous page, as a guide: · For best results, place the speakers 6'­8' apart. · When installing in the wall, position each speaker so that the tweeter is as close to ear level as practical. · Refer to "Home Theater" below if you also plan to use the speakers in a home theater system. SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS HOME THEATER For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on the right along either side of the television. [. . . ] A center channel speaker should go directly above or below the television and can be an in-wall, in-ceiling or freestanding center channel. For left and right surround channels, place one speaker on the left and another on the right, to the side of or slightly behind the listening area. In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown in Figure 3. NOTE: A JBL powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your JBL dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for your application. Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommendations are for the optimal placement of the loudspeakers. Slight variations will not diminish your listening pleasure. Figure 4. Recommended Size 16-gauge 12-gauge INSTALLATION The StudioTM L Series in-wall and in-ceiling speakers were designed to be easily installed. However, if you are unable to clearly and fully understand and follow the instructions in this manual, or if you are unsure of your ability to properly install these loudspeakers, please contact your dealer or a qualified installer. NOTE: Always allow at least a 1/2 inch between a wall stud and the speaker cutout or the locking tabs will not be able to swivel into place. 4. Ensure that the drywall or plywood board or other appropriate wallboard is at least 1/2-inch thick and confirm that the board material is capable of withstanding the weight of the speaker you will be installing. Make sure all four locking tabs are properly positioned against the locking tab stops that are located on the speaker frame (see Figure 6 below). After confirming this, carefully place the frame assembly in the wall and confirm that there is no more than 1/8-inch play between the frame and the wall cutout. After positioning the speaker in the mounting location, back each screw out one full turn (turn counterclockwise). 7. Screw down each of the four Phillips-head screws, alternating between the four screws. The locking tabs will swivel into place and secure the unit to the rear surface of the wall panel. Handtighten with a nonpowered, straight-handle regular screwdriver only. Do not use a socket wrench, a powered screwdriver, a drill or any other powered tool. Confirm that the speaker is firmly and securely held in place and that all four locking tabs are firmly resting against the wall panel. 8.
