INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing JBL GHE
Series Loudspeakers. Their high efficiency
and bass response will greatly increase
your enjoyment of recorded music. JBL
speakers are built with careful attention
to detail, using only the highest quality
materials. They will provide many years 
of excellent performance.
Your GHE Series Loudspeakers are very
easy to set up. We recommend that you
take a few minutes to read this owner's
manual before you begin, and follow the
instructions carefully.
ENGINEERING FEATURES
1.
High Efficiency. 
Modest amplifiers or
receivers will be able to produce acoustic
levels normally associated with amplifiers
of substantially higher power ratings.
2.
Video Shielding. 
The GHE Series 
incorporates magnetic shielding to allow
use on or next to video monitors and TVs.
The magnetic shielding prevents the 
powerful GHE speaker magnets from 
creating any interference or distortion of
the video picture.
3.
Bi-wiring Capability.
The GHE Series
speaker terminals are designed so that
separate sets of speaker cable can be
attached to the woofer and midrange/
treble portions of the crossover network. 
4.
Polypropylene Cone Midrange.
Pro-
vides clean, lifelike, accurate reproduction
of the human voice and other sounds
revealed by midrange frequencies.
5.
Tuned Port Bass Design. 
Extends low-
frequency response, reduces distortion
and improves power handling capacity.
PLACEMENT
The GHE Series cabinet height and driver
placement allow for speaker placement
directly on the floor. The video shielding
allows for the option of placement very
close to a video monitor/TV. When used
as Left and Right Channel speakers in a
Dolby Pro Logic AV system, the shielding
allows the speakers to be placed up
against the sides of the monitor/TV for a
compact AV system profile (see Fig. 1). If
you desire better stereo imaging when
using your speakers for both video and
audio, the speakers should be moved fur-
ther apart from each other, approximately
2 to 3 feet (.75 to 1m) from the sides of
the monitor/TV.
Fig. 1
For the best audio stereo reproduction,
the two loudspeaker systems should be
an equal distance from your listening posi-
tion and separated so that the angle
between them, at the listening position, is
between 40 and 60 degrees (see Fig. 2).
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 loudspeakers 
in corners or against a wall will result in
the strongest (not necessarily the most
accurate) bass. Since the GHE Series are
ported on the front panel so you can place
the rear of the speaker up against a wall 
if desired.
