INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Your new JBL loudspeakers have been engineered to provide extremely
accurate performance. However, any speaker’s ultimate performance
will be affected by the speaker’s placement in the listening room and
the acoustics of the room. Not all listening spaces can accommodate
the ideal conditions of these two factors. Therefore, careful attention to
the placement of your JBL in-ceiling loudspeakers will have a significant
impact on the general performance of the loudspeakers.
