JBL’s SVA Series takes advantage of our latest technology
to deliver incredibly clean,
detailed sound. Incorporating
JBL’s Symmetrical Vertical
Array™ and exclusive
Bi-Radial® horn, these loudspeakers deliver sound that is
distributed over a wide soundstage with pinpoint imaging.
Because the horn should be
directed at ear level in order
to maximize the imaging
characteristics, JBL developed
an exclusive cast-aluminum
adjustable spike foot that can
be adjusted while the speaker
is in position. The Bi-Radial
horn design – which greatly
reduces room reverberation –
along with video-shielding,
allows greater placement flexibility within the room. Ultrawide frequency response and

Preparing the Speaker Cable
1. Determine the length of
wire necessary to connect
your amplifier to the speaker
that is farthest away.
Remember to allow for extra
cable to be able to conceal it
under baseboards, or run it
around corners.
2. Keep both cable lengths
the same in order to help
maintain proper signal
balance and imaging.
3. Separate about one inch of
the two conductors that make
up each cable. Then strip off
about 3/8" of insulation.
4. Twist each conductor’s thin
wires into a tightly bunched
spiral.
5. Identify a difference
between the two conductors.
This may be done in various
ways, depending upon the
type and brand of cable you
are using.
Some of the More Common Differentiating Marks for Conductors Are:
• Different color wire
• A strand of thread in one
conductor
The terminals on the SVA Series
loudspeakers can accept several
types of speaker cable connections.
Remember to connect the red (+)
terminal on the receiver/amplifier
to the red (+) terminal on the
speaker and the black (–) terminal
on the receiver/amplifier to the
black (–) terminal on the speaker.
