1500 ARRAY (serv.man11) - JBL Audio User Guide / Operation Manual. Page 4

The front speakers should be
placed the same distance from
each other as they are from the
listening position, with tweeters
at about the same height from
the floor as the listeners’ ears
will be.

The center channel speaker
should be placed below the
television and no more than two
feet below the tweeters 
of the left and right speakers. 

The two surround speakers
should be placed slightly
behind the listening position
and, ideally, should face each
other. If that is not possible,
they may be placed on a wall

behind the listening position,
facing forward. The surround
speakers should not call atten-
tion to themselves. Experiment
with their placement until you
hear a diffuse, ambient sound
accompanying the main
program material heard in 
the front speakers.

The low-frequency material
reproduced by the subwoofer is
mostly omnidirectional, and this
speaker may be placed in a
convenient location in the
room. However, the best
reproduction of bass will be
heard when the subwoofer 
is placed in a corner along 

the same wall as the front
speakers. Experiment with
subwoofer placement by
temporarily placing the
subwoofer in the listening
position and moving around the
room until the bass repro-
duction is best. Place the
subwoofer in that location.

Important Note: The 800, 1000,
1400 and 1500 Array models
feature spiked feet for optimum
acoustic performance.

However, spikes can damage
certain types of floors, such as
hardwood. In such instances,
place included metal coasters,

between the spiked feet and
the floor.
