Notes: For the sake of simplicity, throughout this manual we have
used the term "source" when describing connections and operation.
component, computer or portable music player.
The JBL On Air Control 2.4G is designed for use in most countries
worldwide, depending upon local regulations.
transmitter module and the active speaker. While we have included
the two most commonly used AC cords with this product, your AC
electrical outlet may require the use of a different AC cord. For your
safety, it is essential to use an AC cord that is fully compatible with
your local electrical system. When in doubt, please consult your local
JBL dealer or distributor.
The JBL On Air may be connected to your source in several ways.
First, determine how you would like to use the JBL On Air
Control 2.4G; then follow the setup instructions for that application.
Application 1
Adding surround speakers to a home theater system.
Continue reading the instructions for Application 1 below.
Application 2
Adding speakers to remote locations around your home.
Application 1
Adding surround speakers to a home theater system:
Determine if your source contains preamp outputs for rear/surround
channels, usually indicated by RCA-type jacks on the back of the
receiver labeled as "surround preout" (please refer to your source's
owner's manual to confirm whether it includes the preamp outputs). If
your receiver includes these outputs, follow the steps below.
If not, connection is not recommended.
Note: Make sure power is turned off on all components.
Step 1.
Connect the interconnect cable (included) to the left and right
surround/rear preamp outputs on the back of your source and the
input on the transmitter module , as shown in Figure 1.

Step 3. Connect the speaker wire (included) to the push terminals
on the active speaker and the push terminals on the rear of the
passive speaker .
See Figure 3. Please note that the speaker wire supplied features a
polarity stripe to help distinguish its two conductors. Use this polarity
stripe to ensure that you are connecting the positive (+) terminal on
one speaker to the positive (+) terminal on the other, and the negative
(–) to the negative (–). It does not matter whether you use the striped
conductor for connecting the positive (+) terminals or the negative (–)
terminals.

Step 4. Plug the transmitter module and active speaker into the
wall outlet, using the correct power supply and power cord. Make
sure the transmitter's antenna is extended upwards.
Step 5. If necessary, configure your source to activate the preamp
level outputs for the surround/rear channels (consult your source's
owner's manual for specific instructions).
Make sure the ID code setting on the transmitter is set to the
same setting as that on the active speaker . See Page 8 of this
manual for more information on ID codes. When connected properly,
the top LED on the front of the active speaker should be green. When
first plugged in, it will sometimes take several seconds for the Control
2.4G active speaker to initialize and "wake up." Once the top LED is
green, the bottom LED should flash green until the transmitter and
active speaker "lock in." It will then also illuminate in solid green.
This LED will light in orange if the local input on the active speaker is
selected (see Page 8 under Local Input for more details).
Application 2
Adding speakers to remote locations around your home:
receiver or audio receiver, a portable audio player, or a computer
featuring a sound card. First, determine whether your source
contains RCA-type preamp outputs for the front/main channels or a
preamp outputs are usually indicated by RCA-type jacks on the back
of the receiver labeled as "pre-out" (please refer to your source's
owner's manual to confirm whether it includes preamp outputs). If
your source includes these RCA-type outputs, follow the steps in
Connection Option A.
If your source features a 1/8-inch single-pin stereo jack, follow steps
in Connection Option B. If your receiver does not feature either type
of preamp outputs for the front/main channels, it cannot be used with
Control 2.4G. Some computer sound cards feature more than one 1/8-
inch single-pin jack. There is almost always one output that is called
a speaker output. However, some sound cards feature a preamp
output or line output in addition to or instead of speaker outputs. If
your computer does feature preamp or line outputs, we recommend
that they be used instead of speaker outputs.
Some computer sound cards feature preamp outputs in addition to
or instead of speaker outputs. If your computer does feature preamp
outputs, we recommend that they be used instead of speaker outputs.
If you would like to connect the computer to the
JBL On Air Control 2.4G using preamp outputs on your computer,
follow the steps in Connection A.
Connection Option A
Connecting using the preamp outputs on your source:
Note: Make sure power is turned off on all components.
Step 1.
Connect the interconnect cable (included) to the left and right front/
main preamp outputs or zone 2 outputs or REC outputs and the inputs
on the transmitter module , as shown in Figure 4.

Step 2. Place the active speaker in the desired location in your home
near an AC outlet, as it needs to plug in to the wall.
Step 3. Connect the speaker wire (included) to the push terminals
on the active speaker and the push terminals on the rear of
the passive speaker , as shown in Figure 3. Please note that the
speaker wire supplied features a polarity stripe to help distinguish
its two conductors. Use this polarity stripe to ensure that you are
connecting the positive (+) terminal on one speaker to the positive (+)
terminal on the other, and the negative (–) to the negative (–).
It does not matter whether you use the striped conductor for
connecting the positive (+) terminals or the negative (–) terminals.
Step 4. Plug the transmitter module and active speaker into the
wall outlet, using the correct power supply and power cord. Make
sure the transmitter's antenna is extended upwards.
Step 5. Make sure the ID code setting on the transmitter is set to
the same setting as that on the active speaker . See Page 8 of this
manual for more information on ID codes. If necessary, configure
your receiver to activate the preamp level outputs for the main/
front channels (consult your source's owner's manual for specific
instructions).
