3.1 Розміщення

Proper speaker placement is crucial for accurate monitoring. Follow these guidelines:

1. Attach the four supplied pads to the bottom of each speaker to protect the finish of the surface.
2. Розташуйте кожен динамік у вертикальній орієнтації, високочастотний динамік угорі.
3. Angle the speakers so the high-frequency drivers of each speaker are aimed directly towards your ear.
4. The speakers should be placed so the listening position 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. Experiment with different positions to find the placement that produces the preferred bass response and stereo image.

3.2 Аудіопідключення

The JBL 308P MkII offers balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs. Use the appropriate cable for your audio source.

1. Connect professional equipment with balanced outputs to the XLR or 1/4-inch TRS input of the speaker using balanced cables. Connect consumer equipment with unbalanced outputs to the 1/4-inch TRS input of the speaker using unbalanced signal cables.
2. Set the INPUT SENSITIVITY switch to the +4 dBu setting for most applications. Set the switch to the -10 dBV setting if the content is distorted or if you find it is too loud.
3. When connecting 3 Series MkII speakers to professional equipment with a +4 dBu nominal output level, to determine the nominal output level of the connected equipment, consult the documentation supplied with the connected equipment.
