HTi speakers feature unique
swivel mounts for the tweeters
that enable you to aim the very
directional high frequencies
toward the listening position,
at ear-level height. Before
installing the speaker grille,
gently press on the outer
edge of the tweeter mount
to adjust the position of the
tweeter. The tweeter will not
swivel more than 15 degrees
in any direction; do not
attempt to force it to move
further. You may also rotate
the tweeter to orient the JBL
logo as desired.
