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 direc-
tion; do not attempt to force it
to move further. You may also
rotate the tweeter to orient the
JBL logo as desired.
