PREFACE

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 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.

This 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.

Please take a moment to register
your product online at www.jbl.com.
Registration enables us to keep
you posted on our latest advance-
ments, and helps us to better
understand our customers and
build products that meet their
needs and expectations.
