EASY SETUP GUIDE

The JBL

®

 Jembe system is the latest innovation from JBL, a long-time leader

in the manufacture of high-end component and computer audio systems. 

JBL’s audio heritage, combined with continuous research, has provided the 

advanced technologies included in the JBL Jembe system. A unique, new 

full-range transducer was designed specifically to fit into small speaker   

enclosures while providing significant low bass. The result is a compact   

and elegant satellite speaker that provides superior low bass, midrange  

and highs.

The JBL Jembe speaker system has a built-in power-saving feature: If no  

audio signal is present for approximately three minutes, the speakers will   

go into power-standby mode and the white LED will turn off. Once the    

JBL Jembesystem detects an audio signal, the speakers will return to   

normal playing mode, and the white LED will light up.
