Thank you for purchasing this JBL Synthesis ® Array ™ Module home theater speaker . This product represents the synthesis of everything that JBL has learned about the emotional power of audio and video in sixty years of preemi- nence in the field.
Positioning your loudspeakers properly is critical in order to achieve the sonic performance of a home theater . Please read the following section for guidance in correct and optimal placement.
N OTE : It is extremely important to place the tweeter/mid-bass arrays for each of the center , left and right speakers at the same height. The horn array containing the tweeter in the center channel speaker should be no more than two feet (0.6 meter) higher or lower than those in the left and right speakers.
6.1-C HANNEL S YSTEMS A 6.1-channel system can be thought of as a 5.1-channel system with the addition of a rear center speaker placed midway between the two surround speakers, and further to the rear than the surrounds. It should be placed at the same height as the side surround speakers (see Figure 5).
7 The different configurations of speaker arrays are accomplished by combining one (1) SAM1HF module with at least one (1) and up to four (4) SAM2LF modules. The configuration of your system depends greatly on room size and at what SPL the system will be used.
8 IMPORT ANT NOTE: Do not place the SAM1HF on its side. It must be mounted with the UHF DRIVER on the top, as shown below . Failure to do this will have a negative impact on the performance of this speaker .
9 Configuration 3: One SAM1HF and two SAM2LF horizontal NOTE: Shown without the trim panel (baffle blocks) installed on the SAM1HF . Configuration 4: One SAM1HF and two SAM2LF vertical NOTE: Shown without the trim panel (baffle blocks) installed on the SAM1HF .
T o connect the Synthesis Array loudspeakers to the power amplifiers or receiver , use two-conductor insulated speaker wire. We recommend #14 A WG wire as a minimum size. Y our JBL dealer can recommend suitable cables. Both the SAM1HF and SAM2LF utilize push-style friction binding posts that can accommodate up to #10 AWG stranded wire.
