Amazon.com Product Description
Hungry for senses-tingling surround sound but tight on space or funds? You can still get the most from your DVD player and audio/video receiver with this full-range surround-sound speaker system from JBL. The SCS135SI's quartet of stylish silver satellite speakers (left/right front and left/right surround) and center-channel speaker fill a room with sound, while the 100-watt subwoofer rounds out the bottom end, delivering the floor-shaking bass supplied by a program's low-frequency-effects channel (the ".1" in a 5.1-channel presentation).

All speakers are video shielded to allow distortion-free placement on or around a television, and the satellite speakers may be mounted on optional stands, shelves, or the wall (via supplied wall-mount brackets). JBL recommends powering the satellites with 10 to 100 watts per channel--that's enough to enjoy exciting home-theater sound, but those seeking bigger thrills will want larger amplifiers and heavier-duty speakers.

Each satellite houses a 3-inch driver and 1/2-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeters, and the center-channel uses the same transducers as the satellites for seamless blending, but has two midrange drivers for extra power and clarity, since the center channel carries up to 70 percent of a film's sound (including most dialogue). The ported subwoofer uses a large, 8-inch woofer for bass reaching down to around 35 Hz.

The subwoofer offers versatile hookup options: you can feed it a dedicated LFE signal from your compatible surround receiver; you can feed it left/right stereo outputs from an extra pair of audio outs on your receiver or integrated amplifier; or you can wire it directly inline with two of the supplied satellite speakers or even your existing left/right stereo speakers. (JBL provides speaker wire for this purpose, and the detailed instruction book describes the precise hookup procedure.)

What's in the Box
Four satellites, a center-channel speaker, a powered subwoofer, four speaker-mounting brackets, requisite speaker cabling, and a user's manual.
