Introduction

Because more JBL speakers than any other manufacturer can be found in film recording studios and behind the screens of the top movie theatres in the world, JBL systems are held to a higher level than “home” cinema. Advanced crossover networks for signal purity, cutting-edge driver materials for clarity and definition, and “overbuilt” magnetic structures for maximum output and long-term dependability are just a few of the professional features and technologies that set Leviton Architectural Edition powered by JBL apart from the competition in professional applications. Even the acoustically transparent grilles that cover this speaker technology were influenced by JBL’s many years of expertise with behind-the-screen theatrical sound systems.

Leviton Architectural Edition speaker systems, powered by JBL, are certain to raise the bar for home entertainment enjoyment. Leviton/AEM65 JBL’s Two- Channel Stereo Speaker has a distinctive shape that makes it ideal for surround-sound setups that call for the least amount of ceiling holes possible. With this device, left and right surround-sound channels can be produced from a single speaker placement. Through the use of a dual tweeter array and twin voice coils, the AEM65 “sums” two stereo channels in a single speaker. JBL 6.5-Inch Two Channel and Single-Location Two-Way In-Ceiling Loudspeaker powered by Leviton Architectural Edition.

HOW IN-WALL SPEAKERS WORK

In-wall speakers only affect the quality of the sound in one way: their restricted depth and width limit the cabinet’s volume to that which can be adjusted by adjusting the enclosure’s height. Even some in-wall speakers use “infinite baffle” designs, in which the wall acts as the speaker box.

HOW TO CONNECT TO TV

Use an RCA jack on the speaker end and a 3.5mm audio jack on the TV end. You can utilize a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable if your speakers’ input interface is also 3.5mm (rather than RCA connectors).

HOW TO KNOW IF WALL SPEAKERS WORK

Lightly contact the speaker wire to the battery using a battery and the other end of the wire. A positive sign is when you hear noise. Check to see whether everything is connected correctly before trying again with a different cable if you can’t hear anything.
