The JBL P52OWS speaker is  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The set of driv-  
ers closer to the monopole setting  
indicator in Figure 3 should be  
installed toward the front of the  
room. It does not matter whether  
or not the tweeter is positioned  
above or below the woofer. This  
will ensure proper operation and  
performance should the Monopole  
or Dipole position on the surround  
mode configuration switch be  
selected.

wall. Each speaker has four key-  
holes in the rear to allow either  
left- or right-side placement. Each  
speaker will require two 1-1/2"  
(38mm) #8 wood screws fastened  
to a wall stud. If a wall stud is  
unavailable, install an anchor  
appropriate for a 1-1/2"(38mm) #8  
screw. Use the supplied template  
to accurately position the screws  
on the wall and refer to the dia-  
grams for more assistance.

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., +). Heavier-gauge  
wire should be used when more  
than 50 feet (15m) of speaker wire  
is required. The wire channels  
on the rear of the P52OWS will  
accommodate most types of  
14- to 18-gauge wire.

receivers/processors allow you to  
adjust the high-pass frequency for  
the “small” or “high-pass” setting.  
If your receiver/processor has this  
capability, it is recommended that  
you set the high-pass frequency to  
between 80Hz and 120Hz. Consult  
your receiver/processor manual  
for more information about these  
adjustments.
