5. The mounting bracket is designed to trap the flange of the JBL Control NOW

speaker by securing the mounting-bracket cap with two screws through the
bottom of the mounting bracket. Run the loose end of the multiunit wiring
adapter through the rear cable-management hole in the mounting bracket,
and rest the JBL Control NOW speaker’s rear flange in the mounting bracket,
as shown. This will support the weight of the speaker. Now slide the mounting-
bracket cap over the assembly. Secure the mounting-bracket cap by
inserting two #10-32 x 2" screws (provided) in the bottom of the mounting
bracket and tightening.

6. Place the large end of the multiunit wiring adapter into the second speaker

to be installed. Slide the multiunit wiring adapter into the rear of the speaker
at a slight angle and rotate clockwise.

7. Connect the terminal assembly to the back of the multiunit wiring adapter.

It will snap securely into place.

8. Now connect the wires to the terminal assembly.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making
any connections. For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire
with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is
usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +).

NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and
connection options.

The speakers have coded terminals that
accept a variety of wire connectors. The most
common connection is shown in the diagram
to the left. To ensure proper polarity, connect
each + terminal on the back of the amplifier
or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal
on each speaker, as shown. Connect the
– (black) terminals in a similar way. See
the owner’s guides that were included with
your amplifier, receiver and television to
confirm connection procedures.

IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making
connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.

polarity connections for
one channel of a stereo or
home theater system.

9. To orient the JBL logo into the correct position, pull the JBL logo slightly

outward from the speaker grille and rotate. The JBL logo is held in place by
a spring. Peel the adhesive cover off the mounting-bracket covers and
attach to the top and bottom of the mounting assembly.
