high accuracy, low distortion, and wide dynamic capabilities
will greatly increase your enjoyment of recorded music. JBL

the highest-quality materials. They will provide many years of
excellent performance.
The brief instructions in this manual explain proper
placement and connections to help you realize the full
potential of your JBL loudspeakers.
Placement
a
For the best stereo reproduction, the two loudspeaker
systems
should
be
equally
distant
from
your
listening
posi-
tion and separated so that the angle between them, at the
listening
position,
is
between
40°
and
60°
(See
illustration.)
For example, if your listening position is 8 to 12 feet from
each
speaker,
the
two
systems
should
be
about
8
feet
apart.
Placing the loudspeakers in corners or against a wall will
result
in
the
strongest
(but
not
necessarily
the
most
accurate)
bass.
Compact
systems
will
also
benefit
from
placement
on
a stand or shelf. For the best stereo imaging, we recommend
that
the
systems
be
placed
so
that
the
high
frequency
driv-
ers are as close as possible to the ear level of a seated
listener. Every room is different— don't hesitate to experiment
with placement in yours.
