Therefore, bass output is maximized when the subwoofer is placed in a corner. • It is also recommended that the subwoofer be positioned along the same wall as the front loudspeakers. Low-frequency sounds are normally omnidirectional, meaning the listener can’t tell where they are generated from. However, frequencies between 75Hz – 150Hz can be localized, especially at higher volume levels. Positioning your subwoofer as recommended will provide the most natural soundstage and imaging from your loudspeaker system. Remember that these are just guidelines. Since every listening room is different, JBL strongly recommends experimenting with the positioning of your subwoofer to obtain the most pleasing results in your room. One technique that can help you find the ideal subwoofer location is to temporarily place the subwoofer near the main listening location. Then move around the room and determine where you hear the most pleasing bass performance. This would then be the ideal location for the subwoofer. SPEAKER CONNECTION When we designed the PB10 and PB12 powered subwoofers, our goal was to offer the user the best possible performance combined with the most flexible and complete installation options.

When a signal is present, the LEDs will turn green. Note: It will take several minutes for the LEDs to turn from green to red after the input signal to the subwoofer is removed. Due to JBL’s unique, high-output, highefficiency amplifier design, power consumption is minimal when the subwoofer is not receiving a signal. Of course, the PB12 subwoofer can be turned off, whenever desired. The PB10 must be unplugged if you do not wish to leave it in auto (standby) mode. The Phase Control determines whether the subwoofer’s piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the main speakers or opposite the main speakers. There is no correct or incorrect setting. Proper phase adjustment depends on several variables such as subwoofer placement and listener position. Adjust the phase switch to maximize Level Control The subwoofer Level Control adjusts the volume of the subwoofer relative to the rest of the system. Proper level adjustment depends on several variables such as room size, subwoofer placement, type of main speakers and listener position. Adjust the subwoofer level so that the volume of the bass information is pleasing to you. If you used the high-level (speaker) inputs and there is no sound from any of the speakers: LEVEL • Check that receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing. • Check that powered subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet and is switched on. • Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. • Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.

There are no right or wrong settings; this switch offers the added flexibility to adjust your subwoofer for optimum performance for your specific listening conditions without having to move your speakers. If at some time in the future you happen to rearrange your listening room and move your speakers, you should experiment with the phase switch in both positions, and leave it in the position that maximizes bass performance. TROUBLESHOOTING Crossover Adjustments The Crossover Frequency Control determines the highest frequency at which the subwoofer reproduces sounds. If your main speakers can comfortably reproduce some low-frequency sounds, set this control to a lower frequency setting, between 50Hz – 100Hz. This will concentrate the subwoofer’s efforts on the ultradeep bass sounds required by today’s films and music. If you are using smaller bookshelf speakers that do not extend to the lower bass frequencies, set the low-pass crossover control to a higher setting, between 120Hz – 150Hz.

If there is low (or no) bass output: • Make sure the connections to the left and right “Speaker Inputs” have the correct polarity (+ and –). • Make sure that the subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet and (PB12 only) switched on. • Adjust the crossover point. • Flip the Phase Control switch to the opposite position. • If you are using a Dolby Digital/DTS receiver or processor, make sure that the subwoofer adjustments on the receiver/processor are set up correctly. • Slowly turn the Level Control clockwise until you begin to hear the desired amount of bass. If you used the line-level inputs and there is no sound from the subwoofer: • Check that receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing. • Check that powered subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet and is switched on. • Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and subwoofer. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the wires are frayed, cut or punctured. • Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier. • Slowly turn the Level Control clockwise until you begin to hear the desired amount of bass. • Make sure that you have configured your receiver/ processor so that the subwoofer/LFE output is on. PowerBass PB12 CAUTION CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN 8 7 Phase Control O P E R AT I O N Power When the unit is plugged in and (for the PB12 only) the power switch is on and no signal is received, the LEDs on the front of the unit will turn red. When a signal is present, the LEDs will turn green. Note: It will take several minutes for the LEDs to turn from green to red after the input signal to the subwoofer is removed. Due to JBL’s unique, high-output, highefficiency amplifier design, power consumption is minimal when the subwoofer is not receiving a signal. Of course, the PB12 subwoofer can be turned off, whenever desired. The PB10 must be unplugged if you do not wish to leave it in auto (standby) mode. Level Control The subwoofer Level Control adjusts the volume of the subwoofer relative to the rest of the system. Proper level adjustment depends on several variables such as room size, subwoofer placement, type of main speakers and listener position. Adjust the subwoofer level so that the volume of the bass information is pleasing to you. If you used the high-level (speaker) inputs and there is no sound from any of the speakers: LEVEL LEVEL Max Min LFE PHASE LFE PHASE 180º CROSSOVER FREQUENCY NORMAL 0º 180º CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 150Hz 50Hz 150Hz 50Hz PowerBass PB10 PowerBass PB12 L L R LINE LEVEL IN R LINE LEVEL IN For LFE use L or R For LFE use L or R L L HIGH LEVEL IN HIGH LEVEL IN R + – R + – L L HIGH LEVEL OUT HIGH LEVEL OUT R R 120V 60Hz, 160W ON OFF 120V 60Hz, 160W POWER PowerBass PB10 6 Max Min NORMAL 0º bass output at the listening position. Remember, every system, room and listener is different. There are no right or wrong settings; this switch offers the added flexibility to adjust your subwoofer for optimum performance for your specific listening conditions without having to move your speakers. If at some time in the future you happen to rearrange your listening room and move your speakers, you should experiment with the phase switch in both positions, and leave it in the position that maximizes bass performance. TROUBLESHOOTING Crossover Adjustments The Crossover Frequency Control determines the highest frequency at which the subwoofer reproduces sounds. If your main speakers can comfortably reproduce some low-frequency sounds, set this control to a lower frequency setting, between 50Hz – 100Hz. This will concentrate the subwoofer’s efforts on the ultradeep bass sounds required by today’s films and music. If you are using smaller bookshelf speakers that do not extend to the lower bass frequencies, set the low-pass crossover control to a higher setting, between 120Hz – 150Hz. This control is not used when the LFE switch is in the “LFE” position. The Phase Control determines whether the subwoofer’s piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the main speakers or opposite the main speakers. There is no correct or incorrect setting. Proper phase adjustment depends on several variables such as subwoofer placement and listener position. Adjust the phase switch to maximize PowerBass PB12 CAUTION CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN • Check that receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing. • Check that powered subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet and is switched on. • Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers.
