PREFACE
T
hank 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 elec-
trical 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 success-
ful 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.
T
his guide exists for several
purposes. As your owner’s manual,
it contains all necessary back-
ground information and detailed
instructions for setting up your
S4800 loudspeaker system, includ-
ing 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.
