On shelves.

The customer is responsible
for proper selection and use
of mounting hardware,
available through hardware
stores, to properly and safely
wall-mount the speakers.

On the wall. Wall brackets
are included.

On optional stands.

Separate and strip the ends of
the speaker wire as shown.
Speakers and electronics
terminals have corresponding
(+) and (–) terminals. Most
manufacturers of speakers
and electronics, including JBL,
use red to denote the (+)
terminal and black for the (–)
terminal.

It is important to connect both
speakers identically: (+) on the
speaker to (+) on the amplifier
and (–) on the speaker to (–)
on the amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound,
weak bass and a poor stereo
image.
With the advent of multi-
channel surround-sound
systems, connecting all of the
speakers in your system with
the correct polarity remains
equally important in order to
preserve the proper ambience
and directionality of the
program material.

If you are using the JBL SCS
SATPair178 in a stereo system,
connect them to the Left and
Right speaker outputs of your
amplifier/receiver.

If you are using the JBL SCS
SATPair178 as front or rear
speakers in a surround
system, connect them to the
appropriate front or rear Left
and Right outputs according to
the instructions included with
your surround
amplifier/receiver.
