SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Figure 1A
Outdoor Placement
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. Use these placement
recommendations as a guide (refer to Placement Figure 1A and 1B
below). Slight variations will not diminish your listening pleasure.
Though these loudspeakers are designed for outdoor use (refer to
note), they may also be used indoors as bookshelf speakers (refer to
Placement Figure 1B below).
NOTE: While the Cat. No. AEN24 is weather-resistant, it is not
designed to be immersed in water. Be selective in your outdoor
placement. Placing these speakers under roof eaves or a patio awning
will offer some shelter and help contribute to years of trouble-free
performance. When installed outdoors, the speakers should be angled
down slightly, using the mounting brackets that are included in the
package.

Indoor Placement
The supplied self-adhesive
felt pads may be attached to
the bottom corners of your
speakers to protect your
furniture.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (–)
terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on
the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the
amplifier. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a
poor stereo image.
With the advent of multichannel surround sound systems, connecting all
of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally
important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of
the program material.
To use the binding-post speaker terminals, unscrew the colored collar
until the pass-through hole in the center post is visible under the collar.
Insert the bare end of the wire through this hole; then screw the collar
down until the connection is tight. The hole in the center of each collar is
intended for use with banana type connectors.
The side of the wire that is Red, with a ridge, or other coding is usually
considered positive polarity (i.e., +). For wire runs inside the wall, be
sure to use a CL2/3 fire rated cable (refer to local codes). Also, consult
the ownerʼs manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to
confirm connection procedures.

WALL MOUNTING
The Cat. No. AEN24 loudspeaker is to be wall-mounted with the
adjustable wall-mounting brackets included, or placed on a shelf.
This product is not intended for ceiling mounting. Note that is the
responsibility of the end user for proper selection and use of mounting
hardware, available through hardware stores, to properly and safely wallmount the speakers. Optional, adjustable, wall-mounting brackets are
available from JBL.
Contact your dealer, or call 800-336-4JBL for a dealer near you, and
order model no. WBN26WHT.

1. Loosen and remove the molded nut (2) by turning it counter clock-
wise. Use the supplied metal bar
(5) if necessary by inserting it in one
of the holes on the molded nut
(2).
2. Pull the ball/shaft (3) out of the wall bracket (4).
3. Slide on the molded nut (2) onto the ball/shaft (3) with threaded
opening facing the ball, and thread on the metal nut (1) all the way
onto the ball/shaft (3), with the nut (1)ʼs “knurled” surface facing away
from the ball.
4. Screw on the ball/shaft (3) into the threaded insert (7) on the back of the
speaker cabinet (8) until it is fully seated against the bottom of the insert.
5. Tighten the “knurled” nut (1) using a crescent wrench until it is firmly
seated against the back of the speaker and has fully locked the
ball/shaft (3) and the speaker cabinet together. Please note that once
this nut is tightened, it may embed some marks on the back of the
speaker where the attachment is made. However, these marks will be
covered by the nut (1).
6. Mount the wall bracket (4) onto a wood stud on the wall, using #10,
minimum 1 inch long, wood screws (6, not included). If necessary,
use a stud finder to locate the studs behind the drywall. Make sure
that all 4 screws are driven into the stud and not in drywall. If the
bracket needs to be mounted on drywall, the use of properly selected
and installed wall-anchors and screws is essential.
7. Holding the speaker cabinet (8) with both hands, reinsert the ball
portion of the ball/shaft (3) into the wall bracket (4).
8. Hand tighten the molded nut (2) while positioning the speaker for the
intended orientation.
9. Once the orientation of the speaker is finalized, use the metal bar (5)
in one of the holes on the molded nut (2) and tighten securely.

TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THERE IS NO SOUND FROM ANY OF THE SPEAKERS:
• Check that receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing.
• Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and
speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the
speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other.
• Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.
IF THERE IS NO SOUND COMING FROM ONE SPEAKER:
• Check the “Balance” control on your receiver/amplifier.
• Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and
speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the
speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other.
IF THERE IS LOW (OR NO) BASS OUTPUT:
• Make sure the connections to the left and right “Speaker Inputs” have
the correct polarity (+ and –).
• Consider adding a powered subwoofer to your system.
• In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor
is correctly configured. When using a subwoofer, make sure the
subwoofer output of the receiver/ processor has been enabled. If
no subwoofer is being used, make sure the left and right front and
rear speakers have been configured as “LARGE.” See your receiver/
processorʼs ownerʼs manual for further information on correct speaker
configuration in Dolby Digital, DTS and other surround sound modes.
IF THE SYSTEM PLAYS AT LOW VOLUMES BUT SHUTS OFF AS
VOLUME IS INCREASED:
• Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and
speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the
speaker wires are frayed, cut , punctured or touching each other.
• If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the
minimum-impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier.
