K2S4800 (serv.man2) - JBL Audio User Guide / Operation Manual. Page 3

Thank you for selecting a JBL

®

S4800 loudspeaker system. It
represents the sum total of our
research and developmental efforts
in sound reproduction over the last
half-century. We have labored to
create a loudspeaker system with
no acoustical or electrical
limitations whatsoever. While the
S4800 loudspeaker is itself a new
development, the goal behind it
goes right back to the earliest days
of the original James B. Lansing
Sound Company.

But it is your listening pleasure that
ultimately determines how
successful we are in this endeavor.
It is solely in the interest of
ensuring a perfect listening
experience that we ask you to
faithfully follow the setup and
operation procedures outlined in
this owner’s guide.

This guide exists for several
purposes. As your owner’s manual,
it contains all necessary
background information and
detailed instructions for setting up
your S4800 loudspeaker system,
including unpacking the
loudspeaker; selecting the correct
location, speaker wire, wiring
scheme and amplification; and
connecting it to its associated
electronics. This information will be
found in Chapters 2 through 6. In
addition, we have included a
detailed description of the S4800
speaker (Chapter 1) so that you
may become thoroughly
acquainted with its unique design
and technological features.

Although physically and materially
imposing, the setup procedure of
the S4800 loudspeaker system is
relatively simple. We strongly urge
you to read this manual thoroughly
before you begin, and consult it
frequently throughout the process.
Considerations must be made in
placing the speakers; their stature
and weight make it imperative that
you become familiar with the entire
setup process in advance.
