INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing JBL
loudspeakers. Their highly accurate,
uncolored and balanced sound char-
acter will greatly increase your
enjoyment of recorded music. JBL
speakers are built with careful atten-
tion to detail, using only the highest
quality materials. They will provide
G SERIESmany years of excellent performance.
LOUDSPEAKERSPLACEMENT
For the best stereo reproduction, the
two loudspeaker systems should be
OWNEROS
placed an equal distance from your
listening position and separated so that
MANUAL
the angle between them, at the listen-
ing position, is between 40 and 60
degrees (see Fig. 1). For example, if
your listening position is 8 to 12 feet
(2.5 to 4 m) from each speaker, the two
systems should be about 8 feet (2.5 m)
apart. Placing the loudspeaker in a cor-
ner or against a wall will result in the
strongest (but not necessarily the most
accurate) bass. If possible, G models
that are ported on the back should not
be placed closer than 12 inches (305
40
mm) from the wall behind it.
For the best stereo imaging, we rec-
ommend that the systems be placed
100
so that the high frequency transduc-
ers are positioned approximately at
ear level of a seated listener. ThatOs
200why smaller loudspeakers will beneŢt
from placement on stands or book-
shelves. Every room is different and
there are different tastes. So donOt
300
hesitate to experiment on your own.
