Setting Up Your System; What's Included; Unpacking; Placement - JBL 705P Owner's Manual

Section 3: Setting Up Your System
Each 7 Series box includes the following items:
• One 7 Series Master Reference Monitor
• One Power Cord
• Quick Set Up Guide

UNPACKING

When removing a speaker from its packaging, we
recommend the following procedure, which will prevent
damage of the high frequency transducer located near
the top of the cabinet on the front of the speaker:
1. Place the inner carton on the floor with the top
facing upwards.
2. Open the top of the box.
3. Remove the power cord from the tray. Gently
rotate the carton so the open end rests on the
floor and the bottom of the carton is facing you.
4. Gently lift the carton allowing the speaker and
the end-cap tray to slide out of the carton and
remain on the floor.
5. Remove the speaker from the protective sleve.

PLACEMENT

7 Series speakers are designed to deliver exceptional imaging in any room. To get the most out of your speakers,
follow these recommendations:
• Position each 705P and 708P speaker in a vertical orientation with the high frequency transducer on the top.
• Ideally the speakers should be placed on suitable speaker stands, rather than on the work surface. This will
reduce resonance caused by mechanical interaction of the speaker with the work surface.
• For optimum imaging, the left speaker and the right speaker should be placed symmetrically in the room, so
each speaker is located the same distance from adjacent walls and reflective surfaces.
• The speakers should be placed so the position of the listener and the two speakers form an equilateral
triangle. Adjusting the distance between the speakers will affect the quality of bass heard at the listening
position. You can experiment with speaker positioning to find the placement that produces the preferred
bass response, imaging, and when listening to stereo material, produces a strong "phantom" center in which
vocals and some instruments seem to originate from a point between speakers.
• The listening distance can be determined according to
your preference, the acoustics of your room and the SPL
(Sound Pressure Level) you desire at the listening position.
You can find the speaker's maximum SPL at 1 Meter
in the Specifications Section at the end of this manual.
Each doubling of listening distance will reduce the SPL at
the listening position as much as 6 dB in an acoustically
absorptive room, but only 3 or 4 dB in an acoustically
reflective room.
