JBL Northbridge E10 Owner's Manual - Speaker Placement
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Proper placement of the speak-
ers is an important step in
obtaining the most realistic
soundstage possible. These
recommendations are for the
optimum placement of the loud-
speakers. Use these placement
recommendations as a guide.
Slight variations will not dimin-
ish your listening pleasure.
All of the Northridge E Series
loudspeakers referred to in this
guide are video-shielded and
can safely be placed near a
television.
CONNECTION TIPS
Speakers and electronics termi-
nals have corresponding posi-
tive (+) and negative (–) termi-
nals. It is important to connect
both speakers identically: posi-
tive (+) on the speaker to posi-
tive (+) on the amplifier and
negative (–) on the speaker to
negative (–) on the amplifier.
Wiring “out of phase” results
in thin sound, weak bass and
a poor stereo image.
With the advent of multichannel
surround sound systems, con-
necting all of the speakers in
your system with the correct
polarity remains as important as
ever in order to preserve the
proper ambience and direction-
ality of the program material.
To use the binding-post speaker
terminals, unscrew the colored
collar until the pass-through
hole in the center post is visible
under the collar. Insert the bare
end of the wire through this
hole; then screw the collar
down until the connection is
tight.
The hole in the center of each
collar is intended for use with
banana-type connectors. To
comply with European CE
certification, these holes are
blocked with plastic inserts at
the point of manufacture.To use
banana-type connectors
requires the removal of the
inserts. Do not remove these
inserts if you are using the
product in an area covered by
the European CE certification.
