ATTACHING THE SHELF STAND TO THE SPEAKER
Prepare the speaker wire as
described on page 5. Thread
the two conductors through
the two holes in the stand
bracket. Make sure to preserve the proper polarity
(+ and – connections) by
threading the positive conductor through the hole on
the left, and the negative
conductor through the hole
on the right looking at the
stand from the front. Push
down on the red speaker
terminal and insert the bare
end of the positive wire into
the hole under the red cap.
Release the cap, and tug
gently on the wire to make
sure that the connection
is snug. Follow the same
procedure to connect the
negative wire to its terminal.
Use the larger screw
(Hardware Bag A) in the
upper screw hole, and the
smaller screw (Hardware
Bag A) in the lower screw
hole.
Gently pull the slack out of
the wire and screw the shelf
stand onto the back of the
speaker in two places, as
shown.
MOUNTING THE SATELLITES ON OPTIONAL FLOOR STANDS
Important Safety Note: The
supplied floor stand adapters
facilitate installation with a
variety of general-purpose
floor stands available from
many manufacturers. Since
different stands will have
different weight capacities
and stability characteristics, it
is the customer’s responsibility to check with the stand
manufacturer or dealer to
determine whether that specific stand is capable of handling the weight and proportions of these loudspeakers in
a safe and stable manner. JBL
disclaims any liability for the
selection of suitable floor
stands and/or correct compatibility between the selected
stand and these satellite loudspeakers.
The floor stand adapters are
compatible with floor stands
equipped with a 1/4"-20
threaded insert.
Prepare the speaker wire as
described on page 5. Thread
the two conductors through
the two holes in the floor stand
adapter. Make sure to preserve
the proper polarity (+ and –
connections) by threading the
positive conductor through the
hole on the left, and the negative conductor through the
hole on the right (looking at
the front of the adapter). Push
down on the red speaker terminal and insert the bare end
of the positive wire into the
hole under the red cap.
Release the cap, and tug gently on the wire to make sure
that the connection is snug.
Follow the same procedure to
connect the negative wire to
its terminal.
Gently pull the slack out of the
wire and screw the adapter
onto the back of the speaker in
two places, as shown.
The floor stand adapter
screws may be found in
Hardware Bag B. Use the
larger screw in the upper
screw hole, and the smaller
screw in the lower screw hole.
Screw the floor stand adapter
into the floor stand’s threaded
insert until the speaker is
firmly attached to the stand.
Back off slightly from the fully
tightened position until the
speaker is oriented as desired,
then rotate the thumbwheel at
the bottom of the floor stand
adapter to secure the speaker
to the stand.
