ATX 10C (serv.man3) - JBL Audio User Guide / Operation Manual. Page 4

ATX Series loudspeakers are
designed to give very good per-
formance in a wide variety of
placements. Best results, how-
ever, will be obtained when the
speakers are placed on a
strong and sturdy stand at a lit-
tle distance from walls and cor-
ners. Placement in corners will
increase the amount of bass,
which can result in a “heavy”
or “boomy” sound. If such
placement is unavoidable, it is
recommended that you use the
tone control on the amplifier or
receiver to reduce the bass. 
For good stereo imaging, we
suggest that you begin with the
two loudspeakers about 
2.5 metres from your listening
position and at a similar 
distance apart. 

Every room is different and we
strongly recommend that you
experiment a little from this
basic starting position in order
to get the most pleasant
results. 

To connect the loudspeaker
system to your amplifier or re-
ceiver use two-conductor insu-
lated wire. For each channel,
the red terminal on the loud-
speaker should be connected
to the red or (+) loudspeaker
terminal on the amplifier or
receiver and the black terminal
on the loudspeaker should be
connected to black or (-) termi-
nal on the amplifier. We recom-
mend 1.3 mm wire as minimum,
but longer wire runs might
require thicker wire. If in doubt,
please consult your authorized
JBL dealer who can recom-
mend suitable cables.
