(setup for Bass 15 & 16 are the same) JBL continually strives to improve its products. New materials, production methods and design refinements are introduced into existing models without notice as a routine expression of our design philosophy. For this reason, Bass Series loudspeakers may differ in some respect from their published specifications and descriptions, but will always equal or exceed the original specifications unless otherwise stated.
SERVICE NOTE (120v Version only) Even though the Bass15 and 16 seem to have an on/off power switch, in fact the switch does not switch the main power off to the amp assembly, even in the OFF position. All AC and DC voltages within the amplifier are still active, so for safety concerns the AC power cord should be unplugged before any servicing begins.
