SPEAKER PLACEMENT
In all cases, it is important to
place the speaker with safety
in mind. Always place the
KHM10 on a sturdy shelf or
credenza, making sure that no
part of the speaker extends
past the edge of the surface.
The speaker should be placed
out of reach of young children
and pets who might topple it,
resulting in serious personal
injury. All wires should be
placed where they will not
present a tripping hazard. If
that is not possible, cover
the wires completely and
securely with duct tape.
Place the speaker so that the
tweeters (located in the upper
portion of the two side pan-
els) are at approximately ear
height and aimed at the lis-
tening position. When two
speakers are used, place
them equidistant from the
main listening position.
The KHM10 monitor is video-
shielded and can safely be
placed near a television.
The supplied self-adhesive
rubber pads may be attached
to the bottom corners of the
speaker to protect your
furniture.

JBL Consumer Products
You’ve watched others, and
now it’s your turn to become a
singing sensation. JBL helps
you to sing your best with the
introduction of the KHM10
karaoke monitor, designed to
highlight your vocals as you
sing along to your favorite
popular tunes. Conventional
loudspeakers are designed
to treat all musical tracks
equally, and many modern
speakers are intended for use
as part of a home theater. But
when used with a compatible
playback system, the KHM10 is
designed to make even begin-
ning singers sound great. Set
up two KHM10 speakers for
stereo imaging, and let the
karaoke party begin!
THE KARAOKE PHENOMENON
WALL AND CEILING
MOUNTING
The KHM10 monitor may be
mounted on a ceiling or wall
using appropriate after-market
brackets.
It is solely the customer’s
responsibility to select proper
hardware and to safely install
the loudspeaker. If you are
uncertain of your ability to
safely mount the loudspeaker
on a ceiling or wall, contact a
professional custom installer
for assistance.
The brackets should be capa-
ble of supporting a minimum
weight of 20kg (44 lb), and
should be compatible with the
two 5/16"-18 threaded inserts
on the top of each KHM10
speaker. Each screw should
be 30mm (1-3/16") long. Note
that the two threaded inserts
are 101mm (4") apart.
When mounting the KHM10
speaker from the ceiling, the
bracket should be installed in a
wood joist. Drywall alone is not
strong enough to support the
