SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommendations are for the optimal placement of the loudspeakers. Use these placement recommendations as a guide. Slight variations will not diminish your listening pleasure.
The Studio Series S36
II and
S36AW
II loudspeakers are video-
shielded and can safely be placed near a television.
The S36AW
II loudspeakers are
weather-resistant and are specifically designed for outdoor use, such as in a patio area. As noted below, we recommend mounting the speakers under an
overhang, such as roof eaves, for added protection. The S36AW
II speakers, because they
are resistant to moisture, are also appropriate for mounting in a bathroom, although not inside a bathtub or shower stall.
Although these loudspeakers are designed as a mirrored pair, the decision as to which one is left or right will depend on the amount of space left between them.
A wider stereo image is presented with the tweeter/midrange array outboard, and a tighter image is presented with the array inboard.
For stereo-only applications:
For home theater applications:
This placement provides a wide spread in sound, supplemented by the center channel speaker.
Do not attempt to mount these speakers on a ceiling, on the underside of roof eaves or in a shower stall.
The S36II and S36AWII loud­speakers may be positioned on the wall either horizontally or vertically. The grille logo on each speaker may be rotated depending on how the speaker is positioned. Gently pull the logo away from the grille slightly, rotate it to the desired position, and let go. The logo will snap back into place.
When mounted vertically, the tweeter array may be positioned either up or down, depending on the height of the placement. If the speakers will be above ear level, the tweeter array should be positioned down, preferably no more than two feet above ear level. If the speakers will be mounted very low, it may be best to position the tweeter array upward so that it will be no more than two feet below ear level.
The S36
II and S36AWII
enclosures are specially designed to angle the speakers
toward the listener when mounted flush against the wall.
When mounting the S36AWII speakers outdoors, we recommend that you place them under an overhang, such as roof eaves, for added protection, and that you use two of the supplied special angle-mount screws per speaker, which angle the speakers downward at a greater­than-usual angle, facilitating water drainage.
NOTE: When using the enclosed angle-mount screws, always use the top two screw locations appropriate for the specific mounting orientation of your S36AW
II. Referring to the
enclosed installation template, screw locations (1) and (2) are to be used when mounting the S36AW
II horizontally so that
these locations are on top. To mount the loudspeakers vertically, use locations (2) and (4)
or locations (1) and (3), depending on the mounting orientation. Do not mount the S36AW
II upside down (with
screw locations (3) and (4) on
top) because it wont be able to lock onto the screw heads. Remember that the JBL logo on the tweeter/mid faceplate can be rotated with choice of speaker position (vertical or horizontal).
At least one screw per speaker should be installed in a wooden wall stud. Select an appropriate wall anchor for the other screw. If the special angle-mount screws are not being used, size 10 screws of at least 1-1/2" in length are recommended. If the screws are used in drywall or other surfaces incapable of holding the screw by itself, selection of proper anchors is essential. The customer is solely responsible for proper selection and installation of screws, anchors and other installation hardware. Further installation details are included on the installation template.
