    (A flat, fiber gasket is supplied with the D208H.) Loudspeakers that can be rear mounted are provided with a facing gasket to form a seal. An airtight seal must also be maintained where the input wires enter the enclosure.
  • Page 6 Wall M o u n t i n g The D208H and LE8T-H are shallow enough to mount between the studs of most room walls. We recommend that you be certain sufficient depth exists within the wall before cutting an opening.
  • Page 7 Installing A Passive Radiator A passive radiator (unclions like a port. II can be used, where battle space permits, to tune an enclosure to very low frequencies by varying the number of weights attached to the cone assembly. A passive radiator should be used only with the specific low frequency loudspeakers for which it is recommended.

    Fine Tuning An Enclosure If you are using the detailed plans contained in the JBL Enclosure Construction Kit, follow the porting information provided; it has been validated by the JBL engineering stafl. When constructing an enclosure of your own design, use of the porting chart for home entertainment loudspeakers (included in the JBL Enclosure Construction Kit) will result in excellent bass reproduction.

    LEI75.LE85 And 376 Compression Drivers A compression driver musi be bolted to the appropriate high frequency horn, which in turn, will be mounted to the baffle panel or freestanding on top of the enclosure. Bolts (%-20. 'Aè' hex head) supplied with the driver should be tightened evenly, and just enough to achieve a snug fit without overtightening.
  • Page 14 Mounting The HL91, 92 And 93 The lens is affixed to the front surface of the panel with hook-and-pile mounting tape. While the "pile"strips are still attached to the "hook" sections on the lens, remove the paper backing to expose the adhesive, place the lens in position over the baftle cutout, and press the adhesive against the panel.
  • Page 15: Frequency Dividing Networks

    Frequency Dividing Networks JBL dividing networks provide imperceptible distribution of the audio signal among the transducers of the loudspeaker system. All JBL networks are engineered to match the exact characteristics of specific components, including the horn/lens assembly, as shown in the Network Selection Chart.

Rotate the Brilliance control to the minimum position, adjust the Presence control, and then set the Brilliance control. Mounting General application dividing networks are usually mounted on the rear panel of the enclosure.
