Tweeter Speaker Pair

How to Position Stereo Bookshelf Speakers in a Horizontal Orientation?

Q: I have a pair of 3-way (8″ woofer, 4″ mid & tweeter) stereo speakers that I have to place on book shelves. Since they are too tall to set up vertically, I will have to lay them on their side. My question is when setting them up horizontally on the shelf, what is the best orientation: tweeters toward the outside or tweeters on the inside?

A: This is actually an age old question and the answer is…it probably doesn’t matter too much. I would experiment with the speakers trying it both ways. If you plan on sitting directly equal distance between the speakers, then “tweeters in” would probably give you a little more “high end” response. If you are not listening in one place then just have fun and experiment!

Jbl Control 25T Indoor/Outdoor Background/Foreground Speaker Pair $290

Jbl Control 25T Indoor/Outdoor Background/Foreground Speaker Pair

The Control 25T speaker pair are among the most versatile of JBL Professional’s Control Contractor Series indoor and outdoor loudspeakers. Its robust nature makes the Control 25T speakers a perfect choice for restaurants, health clubs, outdoor theme and water parks or other applications where foreground/background music and paging are required. The Control 25T can be used in either 70.7V or 100V distributed-line sound systems. Taps are provided at 30W, 15W and 7.5W (plus a 3.7W tap for use on 70.7V systems only).The unique InvisiBall mounting hardware makes short work of permanent installation. The InvisiBall mounting method adds the benefit of vertical rotation of up to 37 off-axis and horizontal rotation of up to 44 off-axis. Because InvisiBall adjustments are made through a hidden access behind the logo badge, the grille never needs to be removed and there exists a high degree of theft deterrence as well. The Control 25T speakers readily accept a variety of paints and finishes to match any decor. Weather resistance is maximized in the JBL speaker by coating the woofer cone in polypropylene and terminating its circumference in JBL’s WeatherEdge, a seamless, rubberized extension of the woofer surround that provides added protection to critical transducer elements. The polycarbonate tweeter diaphragm is reinforced with a thin film of titanium for added rigidity and endurance against sun, salt and moisture. Zinc-plated grilles resist rusting in the harshest conditions. You can’t go wrong with speakers from the company whose name is synonymous with cinema sound and was voted number one in the recording industry in 1976 (the heyday of recording) by studio professionals. Today, JBL monitors are used by Grammy winners such as Frank Fillipetti (Ray Charles, Korn, Billy Joel, Kiss) and Nate Kunkel (B.B. King, Sting, Crystal Method, Maroon 5).Isolation transformer for 70.7V/100V distributed-line sound systemsComponents: 5-1/4″ polypropylene-coated woofer, 3/4″ titanium-coated horn-loaded tweeterBuilt-in InvisiBall mounting hardwareWeather-resistant enclosure and transducersReadily paintable90 x 90 high-frequency hornOverload protection circuitry
