INTRODUCTION
THANK YOU for purchasing the JBL ® S4700 3-way floorstanding loudspeaker. For more than 60 years, JBL engineers
have been providing audio equipment for homes, concert halls, recording studios and movie theaters around the
world, and JBL products have become the hands-down choice of leading recording artists and sound engineers.
The S4700 is a new member of the family of JBL floorstanding loudspeakers designed for home use. To get the best
performance from your new loudspeakers, please read these instructions thoroughly.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
EACH JBL S4700 BOX CONTAINS:
• One (1) JBL S4700 floorstanding speaker
• Four (4) spike inserts to be installed on the speaker’s feet
• Four (4) metal coasters for use on tile, wood and linoleum floors
If you suspect that there has been shipping damage, report it immediately to your dealer. We recommend that you
keep the box and packing materials for future use.
UNPACKING THE SPEAKER
CAUTION: The S4700 weighs 54.5kg (120 lb). To avoid personal injury or damage to floors or the speaker,
we strongly recommend that at least two people unpack and move the speaker.
The speaker has stainless-steel feet that accept the supplied spiked inserts installed on the bottom of its cabinet. To
avoid damage to your floor, we strongly advise that you unpack the speaker on a well-protected surface, such as a
thick carpet or a thick piece of cardboard.
TO UNPACK THE SPEAKER:
1. Open the box flaps and, while standing on the box’s lower flap, gently rock the speaker and its packing back and
forth while pulling it out of the carton. In this way you can “walk” the speaker out of the carton. It helps to have a
second person hold the carton steady from the back side.
2. Once the speaker is out of the carton, remove the upper and middle pads. The speaker’s accessories are packed
on the top end of the upper pad, so be careful not to discard them.
3. Remove the cloth bag covering the speaker.
4. With another person’s help, carefully tilt the speaker on its side onto a thickly carpeted or well-padded surface and
remove the bottom pad.
5. Tilt the speaker back up on its feet.
