THE KARAOKE PHENOMENON
You’ve watched others, and
now it’s your turn to become a
singing sensation. JBL helps
you to sing your best with the
introduction of the KHM10
karaoke monitor, designed to
highlight your vocals as you
sing along to your favorite
popular tunes. Conventional
loudspeakers are designed
to treat all musical tracks
equally, and many modern
speakers are intended for use
as part of a home theater. But
when used with a compatible
playback
system, the KHM10 is
to make even begin-
designed
ning
singers sound great. Set
up two KHM10 speakers for
stereo imaging, and let the
karaoke party begin!
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
In all cases, it is important to
place the speaker with safety
in mind. Always place the
KHM10 on a sturdy shelf or
credenza, making sure that no
part of the speaker extends
past the edge of the surface.
The speaker should be placed
out of reach of young children
and pets who might topple it,
resulting in serious personal
injury. All wires should be
placed where they will not
present a tripping hazard. If
that is not possible, cover
the wires completely and
securely with duct tape.
Place the speaker so that the
tweeters (located in the upper
portion of the two side panels) are at approximately ear
height and aimed at the lis-
tening position. When two
speakers are used, place
them equidistant from the
main listening position.
The KHM10 monitor is videoshielded and can safely be
placed near a television.
The supplied self-adhesive
rubber pads may be attached
to the bottom corners of the
speaker to protect your
furniture.

MOUNTING
The KHM10 monitor may be
mounted on a ceiling or wall
using appropriate after-market
brackets.
It is solely the customer’
s
responsibility to select proper
hardware and to safely install
the loudspeaker. If you are
uncertain of your ability to
safely mount the loudspeaker
on a ceiling or wall, contact a
professional custom installer
for assistance.
The brackets should be capable of supporting a minimum
weight of 20kg (44 lb), and
should be compatible with the
two 5/16"-18 threaded inserts
on the top of each KHM10
. Each screw should
speaker
be 30mm (1-3/16") long. Note
that the two threaded inserts
are 101mm (4") apart.
When mounting the KHM10
speaker from the ceiling, the
bracket should be installed in a
wood joist. Drywall alone is not
strong enough to support the

when mounting the KHM10
speaker on a wall, the bracket
should be installed in a wood
stud to prevent falling. If the
KHM10 speaker is being
mounted on a brick or concrete
wall, it is recommended that
expansion anchor bolts be used.

It is important to connect both

Wiring “out of phase” results
in thin sound, weak bass and
a poor stereo image when
two speakers are used.
To use the binding-post

the colored collar until the
pass-through hole in the

then screw the collar down

The hole in the center of each
collar is intended for use with
banana-type connectors. To
comply with European CE
certification, these holes are
blocked with plastic inserts at
the point of manufacture. To
use banana-type connectors
requires the removal of the
inserts. Do not remove these
