Subwoofer Output

The JBL On Air WEM-1 includes a subwoofer output 

9

on the receiver module.

This output allows you to feed the low-frequency sounds to a separate powered
subwoofer. A powered subwoofer will deliver deeper bass response than is 
possible with speakers alone.

To connect a powered subwoofer to the receiver module, simply connect the 
Sub Out 

9

on the receiver module to the line-in on the rear of the powered 

subwoofer, using a 1/8-inch stereo mini-jack/RCA cable (not included). Please
note that this output is full-range and not filtered or low-passed. Make sure that
your powered subwoofer features a low-pass crossover network and that this
crossover is indeed selected. Do not use the LFE input on a powered subwoofer,
as it is not filtered and you will be hearing a lot of undesirable higher-frequency
information from your subwoofer.

A Word About Wireless Products

The JBL On Air WEM-1 utilizes advanced wireless transceivers operating in the
2.4GHz frequency band. This is the same frequency band that is used for wireless
home networks and high-quality cordless phones. It also allows the transmission of
high-performance, full-spectrum sound to remote locations, wirelessly.

Like all wireless devices, the WEM-1 wireless speaker’s operating range may
vary, depending upon variables such as building construction methods and 
materials, atmospheric conditions and other sources of interference. Please
consult your JBL dealer or distributor, or visit www.jbl.com, for further 
information or assistance.
