n
The Bass15/16 powered subwoofer is part of the SCS
115 or MUSIC 15 System.
n
100 watt output.
n
Variable level control.
n
Speaker level inputs, outputs for full range satellite
speakers.
FEATURES
n
User friendly auto on circuit. Signal sensing
automatically turns the subwoofer on so you don’t have
to; the subwoofer is meant to be left on without
continual use of the power switch.

BASS 15 POWERED SUB WOOFER TEST SETUP
(setup for Bass 15 & 16 are the same)
JBL continually strives to improve its products. New materials, production methods and design refinements are introduced into
existing models without notice as a routine expression of our design philosophy. For this reason, Bass Series loudspeakers
may differ in some respect from their published specifications and descriptions, but will always equal or exceed the original
specifications unless otherwise stated.

n
Speaker cables
n
UUT = Unit Under Test
General Function
1. Connect two pairs of speaker cables to high level input terminal on UUT. Cables should be co
Driver Function
1. Remove one or both drivers from cabinet; remove + and - wire clips.
2. Check DC resistance of driver.
Bass15 should be approximately 5.5 ohms.
Bass16 should be approximately 5.8 ohms.
3. Connect a pair of speaker cables to driver terminals. Cables should be connected to an integrated amplifier fed
by a signal generator. Turn on generator and adjust so that speaker level output is 5.0V.
4. Sweep generator from 20Hz to 1kHz. Listen to driver for any rubbing, buzzing or other unusual noises.
SERVICE NOTE (120v Version only)
Even though the Bass15 and 16 seem to have an on/off power switch, in fact the switch does not switch
the main power off to the amp assembly, even in the OFF position. All AC and DC voltages within the
amplifier are still active, so for safety concerns the AC power cord should be unplugged before any
servicing begins.
