6 pce Home Theatre Speaker System.
Congratulations in purchasing one of JENSEN‘s finest Speaker Systems to date.
Read this manual carefully to ensure your system will provide you with many
years of musical enjoyment.
Voltage and fuse. Your Subwoofer has been factory set to 220/240 volts using 1.0 amp
fuse. Fuse compartment is located at power lead input area on amplifier.
Room Placement – Subwoofer: Best positioning for your Subwoofer is against a
wall. Subwoofer Bass frequencies are non directional therefore can be placed anywhere in the room.
Additional subwoofers can be purchased and “daisy-chained” together to operate as one for extra
Setup. You will need 5 Speaker Leads and 1 x RCA to 1 x RCA lead for subwoofer. Lengths
are “room size dependent” and should have been supplied by your dealer upon purchase. Connect
all Maxi and Centre speakers to your Receiver/amplifier ensuring all connections are in phase. Ie:
Positive (+) wires at Receiver/amplifier end connect to Positive wires (+) at speaker end and vice
versa with Negatives (-). See Fig. C. On your Receiver/amplifier, be sure to select “SMALL” when
“telling” your receiver if you are using Large or Small Speakers. For your X-125 Subwoofer, you
will need a 1RCA to 1 RCA lead (not supplied) as these come in varying lengths of 1 to 20 mtrs).
One end connects to your receiver/amplifier and the other into either “L” or “R” Low Level Inputs
on Subwoofer amplifier. There is no need to connect to both “L” and “R” as these are paralleled
internally. See Fig B.
Wall Mounting Maxi speakers: Each smart Wall bracket is
in 2 parts – one part is attached to speaker and the other supplied loose and attaches
to wall. Look closely at this Wall part and you will notice one “C” curve is longer than
the other (Fig. A) this will allow speaker when mounted to angle left or right when wall
mounted. When mounted vertically speaker will aim straight forward and can swivel left. Reverse
the bracket 180 degrees and speaker will then aim forward and can swivel right. Screws supplied and
screw spacing is 131.0 mm.

Mounting of Centre speaker: This smart bracket
allows Centre Speaker to mount 3 separate ways:
Subwoofer amplifier features. LED on front panel is Blue when active and Red
when on standby (standby mode, like on a TV draws next to no power). Switch the Subwoofer
amplifier switch to “AUTO” and this can be left on indefinitely as the Subwoofer automatically
activates when it senses as incoming signal. LED’s will then turn Blue. After signal has been
removed between 15 and 40 minutes, amplifier will revert to Standby and LED will change to Red.
•Gain Knob is your volume knob. This adjusts the output of your Subwoofer to balance
and harmonize with output of your 5 x Satellite speakers. DO NOT set this on maximum. Be
careful not to advance this control too far as overload may occur causing damage to your
Subwoofer speaker (see below setting recommendations).
•Freq Knob. This control adjusts how low (in frequency) you wish your Subwoofer to
operate at. In other words, 70 Hz is a lower and deeper frequency than 90Hz, so if you set at
70Hz you will be amplifying all music information 70Hz and below and filtering out
everything above which is the ideal intention of a powered Subwoofer. Take care not to
advance this control too far as overloading may occur (see below recommendations).
•Phase Switch If you are using one Subwoofer in the room switch this to “NOR”. If you
are game, you can add as many JENSEN Subwoofers as you like within the room all daisy-
chained together. If more than one Subwoofer is used simultaneously, then all Subwoofers
need to be “in Phase” with each other so that “bass canceling” does not occur. If you do this,
connect all your subwoofers up and switch each from “NOR” (Normal) to “REV” (Reverse)
and simply leave on setting that provides the most Bass. This will be the best setting and be
correctly “in phase”.
•Line Output sockets are provided for stringing additional subwoofers using an
additional 1RCA to 1 RCA lead. As mentioned, you may “daisy-chain” as many JENSEN
subwoofers together as you like for massively increased Bass performance. Contact
Where should I set Gain & Freq. Control Knobs ??
Once you have your JENSEN X-125 Subwoofer positioned and connected, we suggest
experimenting with the Level Control knob and Frequency Control knob to suit the Volume and
1. Tabletop –aiming forward:
Peel away adhesive tape on the 25mm Rubber Blocks
(supplied) and by sitting bracket on it will result in
Speaker to aim forward. Conversely, by not using
Rubber blocks Speaker will aim upwards.
2. Wall mount –aiming downward:By
wall mounting bracket horizontally and with long
“C curve” at Top will allow Speaker to aim downwards.
Screws supplied and screw spacing is 124.0 mm.
3. Wall mount –aiming forward: By wall
mounting bracket horizontally and with short “C curve”
at Top will allow Speaker to aim level and forward.
Screws supplied and screw spacing is 124.0 mm.

depth of Bass desired. Initially, for Hi-Fi listening, try setting the Gain knob at 1 o’clock and the
Freq. knob at 100Hz. This is the most popular setting. This setting will boost Bass information
100Hz and below – which is deep, deep Bass at a strong (but not overpowering) level. For Home
Theatre listening (movies), increase the Gain knob to 2 o‘clock and lower the Freq. knob to 80Hz.
This will enormously enhance all Bass information 80Hz and below to a boosted Bass setting so
when dinosaurs, earthquakes and explosions kick-in, they kick in !! Refrain from turning Level
Control beyond 3 o’clock as Bass will then overpower all other music. Also, overpowering may
incur amplifier damage, Cone damage or both.
