    Instruction manual a. Introduction: although the company's roots extend back to the early days of motion picture sound, it has only been in the last few years that jbl has made a significant impact on the commercial theater market. Some of the reasons for this are the company's preeminence in high-q...

    Table i presents jbl's system recommenda- tions based on general assumptions regarding room ratios and reverberation times. All the theater dealer or contractor has to do is calculate the room volume and go to that entry in the table. The mid-house levels are those calculated by assuming that the re...

    D. Surround channels: 1= genera! Requirements: while there is little consistent practice in specifying and implementing surround channels, we can lay down the following requirements: a. The total acoustical power delivered by the ensemble of surround loud- speakers should be equal to one of the scre...

    Handling, and the remaining three come from mutual coupling, the tendency of two loudspeakers to behave as a single, more efficient loudspeaker. F. Acoustical response: 1. Concept of flat power response: to ship the components complete so that the systems can be readily assembled. It is a wise deale...

    The bi-radial horns require the model 2506 mounting bracket for proper installation. Proper mounting is shown at bracket for proper installa- tion. Proper mounting is shown at d. The bottom of the mouth of the bi-radial horn should be flush with the front of the lf enclosure, and the mount- ing brac...
