JBL SYNTHESIS SCL-1 Owner's Manual

4EnglishsPeaKer PLaCeMenTPositioning your loudspeakers properly is critical in order to achieve the sonic performance of a home theater. Pleaseread the following section for guidance in correct and optimal placement.LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERSThe SCL-1 is a perfect choice to serve as front left and right main speakers in a multi-channel system. Since they havebeen designed for uniform coverage and maximum dispersion of sound, they should be placed with the center of thespeakers at about the same height on screen as the actors to aid in the illusion that the actors’ voices are comingdirectly from their on-screen images. Ideally, the speakers will be placed about 60 degrees apart from each otherviewed from the listening position, so that the distance between the speakers is the same as each speaker’s distancefrom the listener (Figure 1).The recommended mounting of the SCL-1 is vertical with the port at the top. (Figure 2).Figure 1 Figure 260°CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKERThe SCL-1 may be oriented either vertically or horizontally when used as a center channel speaker. If the speakeris being used with a perforated projection screen, it should be mounted behind the center of the screen with thehorizontal center axis aligned as close as possible to the center axis of the Left and Right channel speakers (Figure 3).Center AxisPerforated projection screenFigure 3
