JBL CONTROL® CRV LOUDSPEAKERS
JBL Control CRV speakers are perhaps the most fl exible and
versatile loudspeakers ever developed. There are numerous
mounting options. The JBL Control CRV speaker can be wallmounted or corner-mounted, or two, three or four speakers
can be joined together to create loudspeaker solutions
for a wide variety of coverage, appearance and mounting
requirements.
This owner’s guide will cover the installation and wiring
procedures for each mounting option. Simply decide how
you will mount and use the speakers, and then follow the
instructions for your specifi c application.
Please note that while the JBL Control CRV speaker is
a general purpose indoor/outdoor loudspeaker, it is not
waterproof. The speaker should not be submerged or
directly exposed to excessive amounts of water, ice, snow or
sustained moisture.
UNPACKING THE SPEAKERS
If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to
