OWNER’S MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing a JL Audio MediaMaster®

Source Unit for your sound system.

This product has been designed and manufactured to exacting standards in order to deliver years of musical enjoyment. For maximum performance, we highly recommend that you have your MM100s installed by an authorized JL Audio dealer. Your authorized dealer has the training, expertise and installation equipment to ensure optimum performance from this product. Due to the complexity of modern vehicle systems, we do not recommend self-installation unless you have extensive experience in automotive and marine electrical systems.

Should you decide to install this product yourself, please take the time to read this manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with its installation requirements and setup procedures.

If you have any questions regarding the instructions in this manual or any aspect of the product’s operation, please contact your authorized

JL Audio dealer for assistance. If you need further assistance, please contact the JL Audio Technical Support Department at [email protected] or call (954) 443–1100 during business hours.

Protect Your Hearing!

We value you as a long-term customer. For that reason, we urge you to practice restraint in the operation of this product so as to not damage your hearing and that of others in your vehicle. Studies have shown that continuous exposure to high sound pressure level can lead to permanent (irreparable) hearing loss. Mobile sound systems are capable of producing such high sound pressure levels. Please limit your continuous exposure at high volumes. While driving, operate your audio system in a manner that still allows you to hear necessary noises to operate your vehicle/vessel safely (horns, sirens, etc.).

Safety Considerations

• Install this product in a dry, well-ventilated location that does not interfere with your factory-installed systems. If a dry environment is not available, a location that is not exposed to heavy splashing may be used.

• While this product is designed to be water-resistant, it should never be submerged under water or subjected to high-pressure water spray.

• Do not mount this product in an engine compartment or areas of extreme heat.

Areas exposed to a heater or hot air should also be avoided.

• Securely mount this product so that it does not come loose in the event of a collision, sudden jolt or as a result of repeated vibrations during normal use.

• Check before drilling to make sure that you will not be drilling into an exterior panel/hull, fuel tank, gas/brake line, wiring harness or other vital system.

• Do not run system wiring outside or underneath the vehicle/vessel. This is an extremely dangerous practice, which can result in severe damage/injury.

• Protect all system wires from sharp edges and wear by carefully routing them, tying them down and using grommets and loom where appropriate. Secure all wiring using cable ties or wire clamps, as needed.

• Do not replace the power wire fuse with one of a different value.

Never bypass the fuse.

• Never make power connections with a “live” wire. Failure to make safe, tight,

high-integrity connections can result in fire and extensive damage.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may

Mounting and Installation

The diagram below shows a typical mounting procedure into a fiberglass panel.

Always follow proper safety procedures. Wear eye-protection at all times with a dust mask and gloves when cutting.

A mounting template is included to aid in measuring and marking the mounting surface before cutting or drilling.

Before drilling or cutting, make sure there is adequate space behind the mounting surface to fit the MM100s, including its wire harness.

1.

Press along the perforation to remove the center section of the mounting template. (Discard the center section.) The template can be used to verify there is sufficient flat surface area for mounting and as a guide for cutting the opening. Tape the template to the mounting location and mark the surface for cutting the opening and drilling pilot holes.

2.

Use a jigsaw or rotary tool to cut an opening in the mounting surface. If necessary, use a file or sandpaper to adjust the opening for proper fitment and smooth the edges.

3.

Place the MM100s into the opening and check that the mounting holes remain aligned with the pilot hole marks taken from the template. If not, adjust and mark new holes as necessary.

4.

Remove the MM100s and drill four (4) pilot holes in the mounting surface at the pilot hole marks.

5.

Peel the adhesive backing from the mounting gasket and affix to the rear of the bezel. Connect all wiring and place the MM100s into the opening.

6.

Secure the MM100s using the four (4) stainless steel screws. Press the trim ring onto the front of the MM100s.

Power Connections

The 4-pin plug with wire leads is used to make power related connections. Make sure to carefully plan the wiring of your system prior to routing wires and making connections. Refer to the table on the next page when making power connections.

Power Connections continued...

Disconnect the NEGATIVE battery post connection and secure the disconnected cable to prevent accidental reconnection. This is an essential safety precaution during installation!

Connection

Connect to a positive (+12V) source. This can be an ignition controlled, accessory circuit or a vessel battery equipped with a main disconnect switch. For added control functionality, we also recommend installing a dedicated toggle switch (not included) at this wire lead’s +12V connection point. Always install an appropriate fuse within 18 inches

(45 cm) of the +12V connection.

If this is the only device using the connection point, use a 5 amp fuse.

Connect to a clean metal chassis ground, if available. If no metal chassis ground is available, it may be necessary to connect this to the NEGATIVE battery post. All ground connections (source unit and amplifiers) should be made at the same location to minimize noise.

Connect to a +12V lighting circuit to automatically switch the illumination to night mode when the lights are activated.

This wire provides a positive (+12V) turn-on voltage to activate aftermarket amplifiers.

Wiring Harness Connections

Harnesses exiting the rear of the unit are used to connect to aftermarket amplifiers/ equipment and media devices. Depending on your specific equipment, you may or may not use all of the connections. Make sure to plan the layout of your system prior to routing wires and making connections. Refer to the table below for additional info.

Audio Zones

Audio signals can be sent to your aftermarket amplifiers/equipment via (4) stereo pairs of low-voltage, line-level RCA outputs. Each output pair delivers full-range, lowdistortion audio, arranged into four zones. Depending on your equipment and vessel, this will allow you to group speakers of an area together for flexibility and control of audio levels at separate zones. For example, you may prefer to reduce the listening level in an interior cabin, while keeping a louder audio level on the main deck.
