OWNER’S GUIDE

JBL VENUE™
For more than 60 years, JBL has been providing audio equipment for concert
halls, recording studios and movie theaters around the world and has become
the hands-down choice of leading recording artists and sound engineers.
With the JBL Venue Series, innovative technologies such as titanium-laminatedome tweeters, EOS™ waveguides and PolyPlas™ transducer reinforcement are
available to you. Enjoy!
UNPACKING THE SPEAKERS
If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer. Keep
the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.

NOTE: A JBL powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both
music and film soundtracks. Contact your JBL dealer for recommendations
on subwoofer models for your application.

PLACEMENT
NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the spikes, the
feet and/or the wood cabinet itself. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its
new location.
CAUTION: Floorstanding (tower) loudspeakers have a high center
of gravity and may become unstable and tip over during events such as
earthquakes, or if rocked, tipped or improperly positioned. If this is a concern,
these speakers should be anchored to the wall behind them, using the same
procedures and hardware customary for anchoring bookcases and wall
units. The customer is responsible for proper installation and proper selection
of hardware.

STEREO
Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room and think
about placement, keeping the following points in mind, using Figure 1 as a
guide:
• For best results, place the speakers 6'– 8' (1.5m–2.5m) apart.
• Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately at ear level.

Figure 2. This overhead view shows a typical home theater plan. Left/right rear
channels are for a 7-channel system. The center rear channel is for a 6-channel system.

(optional)

• Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall
or corner.
• Refer to “Home Theater” below if you also plan to use the speakers for
home theater reproduction.

Listening Position
Figure 1. Experiment with speaker placement to obtain the best bass level and stereo
imaging in your room.

HOME THEATER
For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on the right,
along either side of the television monitor. Since the speakers are magnetically
shielded, you can place them near the TV without worrying about the field distorting the TV picture.
For surround-channel use, place speakers on bookshelves or stands alongside
the listening position. Tour and Balcony are also wall-mountable. Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of space and your listening preference (Figures 2 and 3).
In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening
position, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

Center Rear

Figure 3. This figure shows an alternate layout, which may be more suitable for some
rooms. Left/right rear channels are for a 7-channel system. The center rear channel is
for a 6-channel system.

INSTALLING FEET
Balcony, Tour, Monitor, Arena
The supplied self-adhesive rubber feet may be attached to the bottom corners
of your speakers to protect your furniture.

WALL-MOUNTING
Tour
The Venue Series Tour may be wall-mounted. The customer is responsible for
proper selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware
stores), to properly and safely wall-mount the speakers. These products are not intended for ceiling mounting.
Adjustable wall-mounting brackets are included.

Balcony
Important Safety Notes
• Proper selection of mounting hardware and installation of the wall brackets
are the responsibility of the customer.

Figure 4. This figure shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals.

• This product is not intended for ceiling mounting.
Two No. 8 round-head or pan-head screws should be used per loudspeaker.
The screw head should be between 5/16 inch (8mm) and 1/4 inch (6.3mm) in
diameter, and the screw should be at least 2 inches (50mm) in length.

STANDARD CONNECTION

When installing screws in any wall, always use properly selected wall
anchors. Attach two of the four self-adhesive rubber pads that came with the
Balcony loudspeaker to the back of the enclosure in the two bottom corners
so that the cabinet is spaced evenly from the wall. Select a suitable mounting
location on a wall. (The ceiling is not a suitable mounting location.)
Drill two pilot holes, appropriately sized for the specific self-tapping screw or
wall anchor that you will be using. The holes should be 8 inches (203mm)
apart. See Figure 1. The holes should be 3/4" (19mm) below where you want
the top of the enclosure to be positioned. Use a carpenter’s level to ensure
that the holes are even and that the speaker will mount on the level.
Install the two screws into either a wooden wall stud or anchor, and tighten
them until the back of each screw head is about 1/8 inch (3mm) from the wall.
See Figure 2. Install the loudspeaker by slowly moving the cabinet toward the
screws so that the screw heads clear the larger circular portion of the two
keyholes. Once both screw heads have entered the keyholes, the loudspeaker
should gently be lowered onto the screw shafts. Check that the loudspeaker is
firmly locked onto the screws by gently pulling the speaker down and forward.

WIRING THE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is
turned off before making any connections.
For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding.
The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive
polarity (i.e., +).
NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and
connection options.
The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors.
The most common connection is shown in Figure 4.
To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier
or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as shown in
Figure 5. Connect the – (black) terminals in a similar way. See the owner’s
guides that were included with your amplifier, receiver and television to
confirm connection procedures.

Figure 5. Wiring diagram shows polarity connections for one channel of a stereo or
home theater system.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Check the speakers for playback, first by setting the system volume control
to a minimum level, and then by applying power to your audio system. Play a
favorite music or video segment and increase the system volume control to
a comfortable level.
NOTE: You should hear balanced audio reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum. If not, check all wiring connections or consult the authorized JBL dealer from whom you purchased the system for more help.
The amount of bass you hear and the stereo-image quality will be affected by a
number of different factors, including the room’s size and shape, the construction materials used to build the room, the listener’s position relative to the
speakers, and the position of the speakers in the room.
Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level. If there is too
much bass, move the speakers away from nearby walls. Conversely, if you
place the speakers closer to the walls, there will be more bass output.

CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM
Each JBL Venue Series enclosure has a wood-grain-vinyl finish that does not
require any routine maintenance. When needed, use a soft cloth to remove
any fingerprints or dust from the enclosure or grille.
NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the cabinet
or grille.

IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities
(i.e., + to – or – to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging
and diminished bass response.
