construction, ceiling and drop ceilings with at least 3/8" wall material

thickness. For stereo or home theater listening, position the loudspeakers

so the tweeters are close to ear-level, and position the left and right

speakers closely with the television. (See Fig 1 &2) For background

listening, position the loudspeakers in any convenient location.

In-Ceiling Speaker placement

JBL B-Series in-ceiling loudspeakers are designed for standard drywall

ceilings and drop ceilings with at least 3/8" thick wall material. In

drop ceiling installations, JBL recommends to replace the ceiling tile

with plywood or medium density ﬁber board to prevent sagging ceiling

tiles. For home theater, position the loudspeakers as in Figure 3. For

background music, position the speakers in any convenient location to

distribute the sound throughout the room. (Figure 4)

Installation

Make sure to allow at least 1” (25.4mm) between the edge of the

supplied installation template and any rafters or other obstructions behind

the wall, so the speaker’s locking mechanism will have room to engage

fully. Be sure that there are no studs, lengths of conduit, pipes, heating

ducts or air returns in any wall/ceiling cavity that will interfere with the

speaker.

1. Use the provided wall cut-out template to mark the location of the

loudspeaker. Use a saw to cut the appropriate size. (Figure 5)

2. Run speaker wiring to the wall openings. Be sure to comply with all

local construction and building codes. Attach the speaker wire to the

loudspeaker’s appropriate speaker terminals. Conﬁrm that each wire

matches the correct color and polarity on the system ampliﬁer. (Figure 6)

3. Insert the loudspeaker into the opening. Use your screwdriver to

tighten the four screws on the loudspeaker front side. The loudspeaker

brackets will clamp down on the wall material. (Figure 7)

4. If needed, paint speaker grill before inserting on the loudspeaker.

Gently remove the cloth before painting and replace after the paint

dries. This loudspeaker grille is designed to support most types of

interior paint.

5. Place the grille into the loudspeaker. (Figure 8)

Note: Once the grille is installed, you may need to use a screwdriver to

remove the grille from the loudspeaker.
