STUDIO 2 6IC, STUDIO 2 8IC, STUDIO 2 6ICDT Premium In-Ceiling Architectural Loudspeaker Instruction Manual
DOCUMENTATION CONVENTIONS This document contains general safety, installation and operation instructions for the JBL Studio 2 6IC, 8IC and 6ICDT in-ceiling loudspeakers. It is important to read this document before attempting to use this product. Pay particular attention to: WARNING: Calls attention to a procedure, practice, condition or the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in injury or death.
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR DISTRIBUTED SOUND •• S ince distributed sound is general sound throughout an area, place the loudspeakers as uniformly as possible for even sound coverage throughout the area. •• P lace the left and right loudspeakers roughly the same distance from the primary listener locations. •• T o avoid “hot spots” where the sound is too loud, plan to use more loudspeakers, with each set to play at a lower volume.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTING TO THE AMPLIFIER CAUTION: Do not use the tweeter-mounting baffle as a handle to move, carry or position the speaker. Doing so can damage the baffle. Such damage is not covered by the speaker’s warranty. CAUTION: REMOVE POWER You must connect the speaker wires before the speaker is fully installed.
MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS For New Construction If you wish to pre-install a rough-in frame for the speakers before the drywall is installed in new construction, you will need to purchase the correct rough-in frame kit for your loudspeaker model from your authorized JBL dealer. Detailed mounting instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit. After the drywall is installed, follow the installation instructions in For Existing Construction, below. 4.
7. Insert the speaker straight into the mounting opening. Tighten the speaker clamp screws on the front of the speaker baffle. The speaker clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the speaker. • When you notice resistance on the screws the speaker has been clamped successfully. IMPORTANT: Always use low-torque settings.
EXCESSIVE OUTPUT LEVELS Your JBL loudspeakers feature custom-designed transducers and highquality network components featuring high-order filters with steep cutoffs that reduce the potential of damage to individual speaker drivers and help the loudspeakers maintain their performance even under extreme operating conditions. However, all loudspeakers have limits when it comes to continuous playback. To extend these limits, avoid playback at volume levels that result in distorted or strained sound.
