Wiring diagram shows polarity connections for one channelof a stereo or home theater system.BI-WIRINGThe outer connection panel and internal dividing network of the TS models aredesigned so that separate sets of speaker cables can be attached to the low-fre-quency transducer and midrange/high-frequency transducer portions of this divid-ing network. This is called bi-wiring. Bi-wiring can provide several sonic advan-tages and considerably more flexibility in power amplifier selection.Figure 6.SINGLE-STEREO AMPLIFIERFigure 7.DUAL-STEREO AMPLIFIERFigure 8.FINAL ADJUSTMENTSCheck the speakers for playback, first by setting the system volume controlto a minimum level, and then by applying power to your audio system.

If there is toomuch bass, move the speakers away from nearby walls. Conversely, if youplace the speakers closer to the walls, there will be more bass output.CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEMEach JBL TS Series enclosure has a finish that does not require any routinemaintenance.
