Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining

the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommendations are

for the optimum placement of the loudspeakers. Use these placement

recommendations as a guide. Slight variations will not diminish your

listening pleasure.

The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each

other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at

about the same height from the ﬂoor as the listenerʼs ears will be, with

the tweeters aimed toward the listener at ear-level height.

In a home theater conﬁguration, the two surround speakers should

be placed slightly behind the listening position and ideally should face

each other and be at a level higher than the listenerʼs ears. If that is

not possible, they may be placed in a wall (or in the ceiling) behind the

listening position, facing forward.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. They

should provide a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main

program material heard in the front speakers. In Dolby* Digital and DTS®

systems, aim the tweeters toward the listening position at ear-level height.

Dual Tweeter Stereo Speaker, Cat. No. AEM65:

Model AEM65 has the capability of playing two channels through one

loudspeaker, thanks to its dual-tweeter/dualvoice-coil construction. Since

the tweeters are close together, in general they should be aimed away

from each other for best coverage.

For two-channel (stereo) applications, e.g., as a single speaker in a

remote room of a distributed audio system, install the AEM65 stereo

speaker centrally in the ceiling for best stereo imaging, swiveling the

tweeters so that one points toward the left and the other toward the right

of the listening position, aimed at ear level height.

The AEM65 stereo speaker may also be used to play the left and right

surround channels in a 5.1-channel home theater system, in which case

it should be mounted in the ceiling slightly behind the listening position,

centered from left to right and with the tweeters pointing toward the left

and right of the listening position, aimed at ear-level height. For

7.1-channel systems where it is desired to use two AEM65 stereo

speakers, one to play both the left surround and surround back channels

and the other to play both the right surround and surround back

channels, mount each AEM65 stereo speaker in the ceiling, slightly

behind the listening position, one closer to the left side of the room and

the other closer to the right side. Aim the tweeters away from each other,

toward the front and rear of the room.

The wires for both speakers should be

the same length. If one speaker is placed

closer to the ampliﬁer than the other,

Hide the excess wire behind the wall.

Speakers and electronics terminals have

corresponding (+) and (–) terminals.

Most manufacturers of speakers and

electronics, including Leviton Architectural

Edition powered by JBL, use Red to

denote the (+) terminal and Black for the

(–) terminal. It is important to connect both

speakers identically: (+) on the speaker

to (+) on the ampliﬁer and (–) on the

speaker to (–) on the ampliﬁer. Wiring “out

of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass

and a poor stereo image. With the advent

Front and Rear Speaker Output

of multichannel surround sound systems, connecting all of the speakers

in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in

order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program

material. To use the push-type speaker terminals, press the red (+) or

black (–) cap for the desired terminal, insert the bare end of the speaker

wire into the hole below the cap and release the cap. Gently tug on the

wire to make sure that it is fully inserted.

The side of the wire that is Red, with a ridge, or other coding is usually

considered positive polarity (i.e., +). For wire runs inside the wall, be

sure to use a CL2/3 ﬁre rated cable (refer to local codes). Also, consult

the ownerʼs manuals that were included with your ampliﬁer or receiver to

conﬁrm connection procedures.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.

NOTE: LEVITON/JBL IN-WALL AND CEILING SPEAKERS WERE

DESIGNED TO BE EASILY INSTALLED. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE

UNSURE OF YOUR ABILITY TO PROPERLY INSTALL THESE

LOUDSPEAKERS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR A

QUALIFIED INSTALLER.

NOTE: SPEAKER WIRE RUNS SITUATED INSIDE A WALL NEED

TO BE FIRE-RATED. WHEN IN DOUBT, CONSULT YOUR LOCAL

ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR FOR CORRECT WIRE RATINGS.

Step 1:

Remove the grille from the

speaker frame by pulling on

the paper tab. If the tab is

missing, to avoid scratching

the grille or bafﬂe you may

unfold a paper clip, insert the

straight end through one of

the holes in the grille, and

gently pull up.

Step 2:

Determine the correct

speaker location.

NOTE: Remove the inner

template, which is the paint

shield, at the perforation.

Use the outer template when

cutting the drywall.

Step 3:

Always allow at least one-

half inch between a wall stud

and the speaker cutout or

the locking tabs will not be

able to swivel into place.

Step 4:

Cut the drywall.

Step 5:

Connect the speaker wires

to the speaker.

Step 6:

Place the frame assembly in

the wall.

Step 7:

Screw down each of the four

Phillips head screws. The

locking tabs will swivel into

place and secure the unit

to the rear surface of the

drywall.

Step 8:

Replace the metal grille.

The speakers feature unique swivel mounts for the tweeters that enable you to aim the very

directional high frequencies toward the listening position, at ear-level height. Before installing

the speaker grille, gently press on the outer edge of the tweeter mount to adjust the position of

the tweeter. The tweeter will not swivel more than 15 degrees in any direction; do not attempt to

force it to move further. You may also rotate the tweeter to orient the JBL logo as desired.

direction; do not attempt to force it to move further. You may also rotate the tweeter to

orient the JBL logo as desired.

The dual tweeters of speaker, Cat. No. AEM65, may be swiveled independently.

Optimum imaging will be obtained by aiming the tweeters to the left and right of the

listening position, at ear-level height, if your application permits.

Leviton Architectural Edition powered by JBL loudspeakers can be

painted to match any decor. If you wish to change their color, the satin

ﬁnish on the grille and frame will function as a primer coat. Before

painting, install the paint shield (inner section of template in the assembly

kit) securely into the recess in the bafﬂe. This will protect the speaker

components and bafﬂe from paint residue. Use a high-quality spray paint,

and apply a thin coat of color.

Be certain the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with

paint will diminish the sound quality.

NOTE: Gently remove the acoustical foam blanket from the grille before

painting. Reattach the blanket after the paint has dried.

FRAME AND GRILLE

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF THERE IS NO SOUND FROM ANY OF THE SPEAKERS:

• Check that receiver/ampliﬁer is on and a source is playing.

• Check all wires and connections between receiver/ampliﬁer and

speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the

speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other.

• Review proper operation of your receiver/ampliﬁer.

IF THERE IS NO SOUND COMING FROM ONE SPEAKER:

• Check the “Balance” control on your receiver/ampliﬁer.

• Check all wires and connections between receiver/ampliﬁer and

speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the

speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other.

IF THERE IS LOW (OR NO) BASS OUTPUT:

• Make sure the connections to the left and right “Speaker Inputs” have

the correct polarity (+ and –).

• Consider adding a powered subwoofer to your system.

• In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor

is correctly conﬁgured. When using a subwoofer, make sure the

subwoofer output of the receiver/ processor has been enabled. If

no subwoofer is being used, make sure the left and right front and

rear speakers have been conﬁgured as “LARGE.” See your receiver/

processorʼs ownerʼs manual for further information on correct speaker

conﬁguration in Dolby Digital, DTS and other surround sound modes.

IF THE SYSTEM PLAYS AT LOW VOLUMES BUT SHUTS OFF AS

VOLUME IS INCREASED:

• Check all wires and connections between receiver/ampliﬁer and

speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the

speaker wires are frayed, cut , punctured or touching each other.

• If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the

minimum-impedance requirements of your receiver/ampliﬁer.
