WALL-MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS USING
INCLUDED WALL BRACKETS
Adjustable wall brackets are included for the JBL Control X speakers.
The included brackets are for wall-mounting only.
Ceiling-mounting these JBL Control X speakers is not recommended,
regardless of the bracket used.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Proper selection of mounting
hardware not included herein, and proper assembly and
installation of brackets, in cluding, but not limited to, selection
of appropriate weight-bearing support and bracket use with
the specified speaker only is the exclusive responsibility of the
customer. Manufacturer disclaims any liability for the selection of
mounting hardware and/or bracket installation.
A. Loosen and remove the molded nut (2) by turning it counterclockwise.
Use the supplied metal bar (5) if necessary by inserting it in one of the
holes on the molded nut (2).
B. Pull the ball/shaft (3) out of the wall bracket (4).
C. Slide the molded nut (2) onto the ball/shaft (3) with threaded opening
facing the ball, and thread on the metal nut (1) all the way onto the
ball/shaft (3), with the nut’s (1) “knurled” surface facing away
from the ball.
D. Screw the ball/shaft (3) into the threaded 3/8"-16 insert (6) on the
back of the speaker cabinet until it is fully seated against the bottom
of the insert. Back out the ball-shaft assembly one half turn and
tighten the nut against the speaker. If the ball and shaft assembly
is not backed out before tightening the nut, performing Step G
below may dislodge the threaded insert in the speaker housing and
permanently damage the speaker.
E. Tighten the “knurled” nut (1) using a crescent wrench until it is firmly
seated against the back of the speaker and has fully locked the ball/
shaft (3) and the speaker cabinet together. Please note that once
this nut is tightened, it may embed some marks on the back of the
speaker where the attachment is made. However, these marks will be
covered by the nut (1).
F. The security cable (8) is provided as an additional measure to prevent
the speaker from falling in case the speaker becomes detached from
the wall bracket. One of the two lower screws (9) that attach the wall
bracket (4) to the wall will need to go through the eyelet (11) at the
end of the cord before going through the wall-bracket hole. Make sure
that the screw head is at least 0.36" (approximately 3/8") or larger in
diameter so that it can properly hold the backup cord eyelet (11).
G. Mount the wall bracket (4) onto a wood stud on the wall, using #10,
minimum 1", panhead wood screws. Make sure that all four screws
are driven into the stud, not drywall.
If the bracket needs to be mounted on drywall, the use of properly
selected and installed wall anchors and screws is essential.
H. Securely attach the other end (10) of the security cable (8) to the
Control X by engaging it through the bar (12) on the back speaker,
as shown in the illustration.
I. Connect your speaker wire to the terminals (13) on the rear of
the speaker. Be sure to leave enough cable if mounting speakers in
horizontal position.
J. Holding the speaker cabinet (7) with both hands, reinsert the ball
portion of the ball/shaft (3) into the wall bracket (4).
K. Hand-tighten the molded nut (2) while positioning the speaker for the
intended orientation.
L. Once the orientation of the speaker is finalized, use the metal bar (5) in
one of the holes on the molded nut (2) and tighten securely.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE MOLDED NUT (2).

Note: Be sure to rotate the JBL grille badge 90 degrees if you are
mounting these speakers in the horizontal position. Simply
remove the grille, push the badge from the inside and rotate
it accordingly.

WALL-MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS USING
THIRD-PARTY WALL BRACKETS
Each JBL Control X speaker contains a 3/8”-16 threaded
insert on the back to facilitate the use of third-party wall
brackets. Please consult your JBL dealer or distributor
for recommendations. Note: Customer is responsible for
proper selection and installation of appropriate third-
party wall brackets.
DISTANCE BETWEEN EACH SPEAKER
For optimal stereo imaging, 6–8 feet (1.8m – 2.4m) is
recommended between each speaker. If you require a
wider space or distance, be sure to run a L + R (summed
mono) signal from your amplifier or receiver to each
speaker if your equipment oers this option.
