INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
JBL architectural speakers are extremely easy to install. However, if you
are unable to understand and follow the instructions in this manual clearly
and fully, or if you are unsure of your ability to install these loudspeakers
properly, please contact your dealer or a qualified installer.
WARNING: HARMAN International assumes
no responsibility for improper installation of

fallen loudspeaker.

CONNECTING TO THE AMPLIFIER
CAUTION: REMOVE POWER
You must connect the speaker wires before the speaker is fully
installed. To protect the audio system and yourself from damage
or injury through accidental electrical shorting and surges during
installation, turn all audio system power OFF before beginning the
speaker installation.
Speaker Wire
Use high-quality speaker wire to obtain the best performance from your
JBL in-wall speakers.
• For wire lengths of less than 50 ft (15m), use at least 16-gauge
speaker wire.
• For wire lengths between 50 ft and 100 ft (15m – 30m), use at least
12-gauge speaker wire.
• For wire lengths of greater than 100 ft (30m), use at least 10-gauge
speaker wire.
Note: All speaker wires must comply with all local building and safety
codes for use in in-wall applications.
Making Connections
Connect each channel's positive (+) terminal on the back of the amplifier
or receiver to the positive (red) terminal on the corresponding speaker;
connect each channel's negative (–) terminal on the back of the amplifier
or receiver to the negative (black) terminal on the corresponding speaker.
Do not reverse polarities (that is, do not connect + to –, or – to +) when
making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished
bass response.

CAUTION: To avoid short circuits that may damage your
equipment, be certain that positive and negative wire strands do
not touch each other and do not touch metal parts such as the
speaker frame.
