REPLACEMENT—
Reverse
the
removal procedure
to
replace
the
loudspeaker system components. Mounting
screws should
be
tightened evenly
to
avoid
the
possibility
of
frame warpage, and just enough
to
prevent
air leaks between
the
components and
the
enclosure.
Avoid
excessive
force.
Although
JBL
loudspeakers
are
extremely
ragged,
the
cone
and other moving parts
are
subject
to
accidental
damage.
Exercise
extreme
caution when using
a
screwdriver
or
other tools
in
their
immediate
vicinity.
The
Decade
36
enclosure, embodying
the
advanced
principles
of
fine
furniture
design and construction that
have made
JBL
leader
of
the industry, complements
the
acoustic characteristics
of
the
loudspeaker system.
It
utilizes
a
ducted port extending through
the
baffle
panel
to
restrict
air
flow,
providing
the
proper load
on
the
loudspeaker
cone
for improved efficiency
and
dynamic
range.
To
achieve maximum strength
and
resistance
to
vibration, all panels
are
constructed
of
3
/4-inch
stock; side and
back
panels
are
lined
with
acoustic padding;
and
all joints
are
hand
fitted,
lock
mitered
and wood welded.
The
continuous search for refreshing visual
approaches
led
JBL to
pioneer
the use of
new finishes —in this
case
natural
oak. The beauty
of
its light tone
and
distinctive
grain
structure
is
brought out
by a
hand-rubbed oiled
finish.
The contrast between
the
rich color
accent
provided
by
the
contemporary grille and
the
natural
finish
reflects
the
most recent international design
trends,
suggesting that the L36
will
become
an
important
decorative element
in
any listening room.
The
grille cloth
is a
double
knit
polyester fabric
selected
for acoustic transparency, beauty, physical
strength,
color
fastness
and
soil resistance.
It can
be
cleaned
by
gently dusting
it
with
a
vacuum cleaner.
Stains
can
be
removed
by
using aerosol cleaners, such
as Texize
K2r,
Goddard's Dry
Clean,
or
Pen Champ
Quick 'n Easy,
according
to
each
manufacturer's
instructions.
Warning:
Cleaning fluids
or
other solvents should not
be used.
Although
they may appear
to
remove
a
stain,
liquid
cleaners
will
dissolve the
base
paint
on the
grille
frame
beneath
the
cloth, resulting
in
permanent
discoloration
of
the
material.
Occasional dusting
with
a
clean, soft cloth
will
maintain
the
original beauty
of
the
oak
finish.
Since
moisture
cannot penetrate
the
oiled surface, most
household
stains
can
be
removed
with
a
damp cloth.
