UNPACKING THE SPEAKER

Carefully unpack the speaker. If you suspect damage from transit, report

it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping

carton and packing materials for future use.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Your new JBL loudspeakers have been engineered to provide extremely

accurate performance. However, any speaker’s ultimate performance

will be affected by the speaker’s placement in the listening room and

the acoustics of the room. Not all listening spaces can accommodate the

ideal conditions of these two factors. Therefore, careful attention to the

placement of your JBL in-wall loudspeakers will have a signiﬁcant impact

on the general performance of the loudspeakers.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR DISTRIBUTED

SOUND

• Since distributed sound is general sound throughout an area, place

the loudspeakers as uniformly as possible for even sound coverage

throughout the area.

• Place the left and right loudspeakers roughly the same distance from

the primary listener locations.

• To avoid “hot spots” where the sound is too loud, plan to use more

loudspeakers, with each set to play at a lower volume.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR TWO-CHANNEL

STEREO

Place the left and right loudspeakers the same distance from the primary

listening area (or as close to the same distance as possible). The distance

from each speaker to its nearest side wall should also be as close to the

same distance as possible.

Equal

Distance

Equal

Distance

Left

Speaker Right

Speaker

Ideally, the distance between the left and right loudspeakers should be

slightly less than their distance from the primary listening area.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR HOME THEATER

The front left and front right loudspeakers should be located on either side

of the video display, with their tweeters as close to ear level as possible.

• The front left and front right loudspeakers should be relatively close

to the sides of the video display. For example, front left and front right

loudspeakers used with a 50-in (1.3m) video display should generally

not be more than 80 in (2m) apart.

• The center loudspeaker should be aligned with the center of the

video display. Its tweeter should be no more than 2 ft (0.6m) above or

below the tweeters of the front left and front right speakers.

• The JBL HDI waveguide will maintain even sound dispersion and a

high-performance listening experience even when the front in-wall

loudspeakers are installed above ear-level. This permits more ﬂexible

speaker placement during installation.

5.1-Channel Speaker Placement

• In a 5.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right

loudspeakers should be located to the sides of the main listening

area, 5 ft – 7 ft (1.5m – 2.1m) from the ﬂoor.

7.1-Channel Speaker Placement

• In a 7.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right

loudspeakers should be located directly to the sides of the main

listening area, 5 ft – 7 ft (1.5m – 2.1m) from the ﬂoor.

• In a 7.1-channel system, the surround back left and surround back

right loudspeakers should be located on the rear wall, 3 ft – 6 ft

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

JBL architectural speakers are extremely easy to install. However, if you

are unable to understand and follow the instructions in this manual clearly

and fully, or if you are unsure of your ability to install these loudspeakers

properly, please contact your dealer or a qualiﬁed installer.

WARNING: HARMAN International assumes

no responsibility for improper installation of

hardware or for any personal injuries or product

damages resulting from improper installation or a

fallen loudspeaker.

CONNECTING TO THE AMPLIFIER

CAUTION: REMOVE POWER

You must connect the speaker wires before the speaker is fully

installed. To protect the audio system and yourself from damage

or injury through accidental electrical shorting and surges during

installation, turn all audio system power OFF before beginning the

speaker installation.

Speaker Wire

Use high-quality speaker wire to obtain the best performance from your

JBL in-wall speakers.

• For wire lengths of less than 50 ft (15m), use at least 16-gauge

speaker wire.

• For wire lengths between 50 ft and 100 ft (15m – 30m), use at least

12-gauge speaker wire.

• For wire lengths of greater than 100 ft (30m), use at least 10-gauge

speaker wire.

Note: All speaker wires must comply with all local building and safety

codes for use in in-wall applications.

Making Connections

Connect each channel’s positive (+) terminal on the back of the ampliﬁer

or receiver to the positive (red) terminal on the corresponding speaker;

connect each channel’s negative (–) terminal on the back of the ampliﬁer

or receiver to the negative (black) terminal on the corresponding speaker.

Do not reverse polarities (that is, do not connect + to –, or – to +) when

making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished

bass response.

Negative Terminal

(Black)

Positive Terminal

(Red)

Press down on the post to open the hole; insert the bare end of the wire

into the hole and release the post to secure the wire.

CAUTION: To avoid short circuits that may damage your

equipment, be certain that positive and negative wire strands do

not touch each other and do not touch metal parts such as the

speaker frame.

MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS

For New Construction

If you wish to pre-install a rough-in frame for the speakers before

the drywall is installed in new construction, you will need to purchase

the correct rough-in frame kit for your loudspeaker model from your

authorized JBL dealer. Detailed mounting instructions are supplied with

the rough-in kit. After the drywall is installed, follow the installation

instructions in For Existing Construction, below.

For Existing Construction

Note: The installation procedure is the same for all models covered by

this manual.

1. Ensure that the drywall, plywood or other wall material is 1/2" – 2"

(13mm – 51mm) thick and capable of withstanding the weight of the

speaker being installed.

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. Perform an obstruction survey to be sure that there are no studs,

lengths of conduit, pipes, heating ducts or air returns in the wall cavity

that will interfere with the speaker.

2. Determine the correct speaker location and use the template included

with the speaker to mark the wall material.

3. Cut the drywall along the mark you made in Step 2 to create the

mounting opening.

4. Connect the speaker to the ampliﬁer as explained in Connecting to the

Ampliﬁer, on page 4.

Speaker Clamps in

Ready-to-Mount Position

5. Make sure all four speaker clamps are in their “ready-to-mount”

position.

6. Insert the speaker straight into the mounting opening. Tighten the

speaker clamp screws on the front of the speaker bafﬂe. The speaker

clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the

speaker.

• When you notice resistance on the screws the speaker has been

clamped successfully.

IMPORTANT: Always use low-torque settings. NEVER over-

tighten the clamp screws

securely hold the grille in place.

Attach Supplied Grille

Painting the Grille

JBL architectural loudspeaker grilles can be painted to match any décor.

If you wish to change the grille’s color, its satin ﬁnish will function as a

primer coat. For the best results follow this procedure:

1. Gently remove the scrim cloth from the back side of the grille before

painting.

2. Use a high-quality spray paint and apply a thin coat of color. Ensure

that the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with

paint will diminish the speaker’s sound quality. If any perforations are

plugged, use compressed air to blow the paint out of the perforations.

Note: If you ﬁnd any grille perforations that are plugged with paint after

the paint has dried, carefully use a straight pin or sewing needle to

remove the paint.

3. We have included replacement scrim cloths. After the paint has dried,

apply a light coat of spray adhesive to the inside of the perforated grille

and attach a new scrim cloth. IMPORTANT: Never spray adhesive on the

cloth.

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTABLE ANGLE TWEETER

The JBL Studio 2 in-wall speaker models allow you to adjust the angle

of the tweeter. To change the angle, press on the tweeter’s outer ring

as shown in the illustration below. Be careful not to touch the tweeter

diaphragm or suspension.

HIGH-FREQUENCY LEVEL CONTROL

The High-Frequency Level control lets you ﬁne-tune the speaker’s high

frequency output to compensate for various acoustical environments. The

control has three settings:

+: Increases high-frequency output. Set the switch to this position if

the room has many features that absorb high-frequency sound energy,

such as thick carpeting, drapes and fabric-covered furniture.

0: Normal high-frequency output. Set the switch to this position for

most installations.

–: Decreases high-frequency output. Set the switch to this position if

the room has many features that reﬂect high-frequency sound energy,

such as large uncovered windows, bare tile ﬂoors and large expanses of

bare walls, or if the speakers are used without grilles.

JBL Studio 2 In-Wall Architectural Loudspeaker

Instruction Manual

English

EXCESSIVE OUTPUT LEVELS

Your JBL loudspeakers feature custom-designed transducers and high-

quality network components featuring high-order ﬁlters with steep cutoffs

that reduce the potential of damage to individual speaker drivers and

help the loudspeakers maintain their performance even under extreme

operating conditions. However, all loudspeakers have limits when it comes

to continuous playback. To extend these limits, avoid playback at volume

levels that result in distorted or strained sound.
