connection tips

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.

three. Wall-Mounting

The Control 1X loud­speakers may be wall­mounted. This product is
not intended for ceiling
mounting. Optional

adjustable wall-mount
brackets are available from
JBL. Contact your dealer or
call 800-336-4JBL for a
dealer near you.

Troubleshooting

A Harman International Company

If there is no sound from any
of the speakers:

• Check that receiver/
amplifier is on and a source
is playing.

• 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 or punctured.

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 or punctured.
