JBL Northridge N26II Owner's Manual - Speaker Connections

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

These models are shipped with

four self-adhesive nonskid pads

that are to be used when the

loudspeaker is intended to be

placed on a smooth-surfaced

floor, such as tile or hardwood.

Gently lay the speaker on its side

(not its front or back) on a soft,

nonabrasive surface. Attach each

pad to the bottom of its foot in the

widest portion of the recessed

area.

DO NOT attach the pads if 

the speaker will be placed 

on carpeting.

NEVER drag the speaker to move

it, as this will damage the pads,

the feet and/or the wood cabinet

itself. Always lift the speaker and

carry it  to its new location.

CAUTION: Floorstanding (tower)

loudspeakers have a high center

of gravity and may become

unstable and tip over during

earthquakes or if rocked, tipped

or improperly positioned. If this is

a concern, these speakers should

be anchored to the wall behind

them, using the same procedures

and hardware customary for

anchoring bookcases and wall

units. Customer is responsible for

proper installation and proper

selection of hardware.

The supplied self-adhesive felt

pads may be attached to the

to protect your furniture.

CONNECTION TIPS

Speakers and electronics

terminals have corresponding (+)

and (–) terminals. It is important

to connect both speakers

identically: (+) on the speaker to

(+) on the amplifier and (–) on the

speaker to (–) 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, connecting all of the

speakers in your system with the

correct polarity remains equally

important in order to preserve 

the proper ambience and

directionality 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.
