Installation

Loosen the two knobs. Remove the bracket from speaker (pic.A). Run the appropriate gauge wire from your amplifier (pic.
B). Mount the C-bracket to the wall surface by running screws through the holes located in the bracket (pic.C).

Install the speaker into the C-bracket. Turn the bracket knobs into the cabinet. Point the speaker toward the listening area
(pic.D). You must respect the connector polarity of both loudspeaker and amplifier. The positive terminal “+” must be
connected to the corresponding amplifier terminal and the negative terminal “-“ to the negative terminal (pic.E).

Running-in period

The drivers used in this speaker loudspeaker are complex mechanical devices and require a run-in period
before they deliver their best performance. They must get adapted to the temperature and humidity conditions of their
environment. This breaking-in period depends on the encountered conditions and can last several weeks. In order to
shorten this period, we advise you to let your loudspeakers operate for about twenty hours at medium level, playing
standard musical programmes, but with a large amount of bass. Once the components of the loudspeakers are completely
stabilized, it is possible to enjoy the real performance of your loudspeakers.

Conditions of guarantee

All Focal-JMlab loudspeakers are covered by guarantee drawn up by the official Focal-JMlab distributor in your country.
Your distributor can provide all details concerning the conditions of guarantee. Guarantee cover extends at least to that
granted by the legal guarantee in force in the country where the original purchase invoice was issued.

Warning!

Long sun and/or bad weather exposure can damage your loudspeakers.
We recommend that you place your OD 108 loudspeakers under a penthouse in summer and to remove them in winter.
