APPLICATION
The AEI65 and AEI80 In-Wall Speakers are an
excellent choice for front (left and right) home
theater installations as well as the best choice
for surround-sound use. Their Elliptical Oblate
Spheroidal™ (EOS™) Waveguide, based on JBL’s
renowned line of professional studio monitors,
improves high-frequency sound dispersion,
allowing speakers to generate a sharply focused
front sound field for precise soundtrack imaging.
FEATURES
• JBL titanium-laminate drivers (AEI65/80) or pure
titanium tweeter and polymer-coated aluminum
woofers (AEI55) maintain musical accuracy and
clarity even at frequency extremes
• Straight-line Signal Path™ (SSP™) crossover
network for minimal signal distortion
• Long-excursion woofers with butyl-rubber
half-round surrounds and extended pole-piece
magnetic structures for maximum bass impact
and dynamic range
• Low-diraction, swivel-tweeter mounting
system for optimum stereo imaging
• Heavy-duty push-type input terminals for
long-term connection integrity
• Integrated dog-ear mounting brackets (optional
rough-in kits available for pre-construction
installs in new homes)
• Acoustically transparent paintable baes
and grilles

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: NOTE THAT THIS MANUAL IS WRITTEN
WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE INSTALLER
POSSESSES SKILL IN THE PROPER USE OF HAND
AND POWER TOOLS, AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE
ENVIRONMENT BEHIND THE SURFACE OF THE
WALL OR CEILING WHERE THE SPEAKERS WILL
BE INSTALLED.
TO INSTALL:
1. Select speaker mounting location. Route
speaker cable from source to this location.
Note: We recommend the use of 16/2 (minimum)
class 3 speaker wires.
2. Attach wings to back plate of Pre-Construction
Bracket (refer to Figures 1A and 1B). Only two
wings are required for each back plate. Select
the mounting arrangement that best suites
your specific application. Note: The wings are
designed to be shortened as required.
3. Attach the Pre-Construction Bracket in the
desired location to the underside of framing
members so that after drywall installation,
the bracket and the wings are sandwiched
between the drywall and the framing member
(ensure “FRONT” is facing into the room) (refer to
Figures 1A and 1B). If the mounting area is too
congested to use both mounting wings you can
drive screws through the back plate directly into
the framing member.
4. Loop the speaker wire and attach it to the wire
management loops on the back of the bracket.
5. After drywall installation install speakers in
holes provided by drywall installer. Follow
instructions included in speaker packaging.
