For more than 60 years, JBL has been providing audio equipment for concert halls, recording studios and movie theaters
around the world and has become the hands-down choice of leading recording artists and sound engineers. The 4319 is a
new member of the family of JBL bookshelf studio monitor speakers that dates back to 1968 with the original model 4310
Control Monitor. To get the best performance from your new studio monitor, please read these instructions thoroughly.
2. Package Contents
Each JBL 4319 box contains one (1) JBL 4319 studio monitor speaker. 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.
3. Placement
CAUTION: The 4319 weighs 35.9 lb (16.3kg). Before placing the speaker on a shelf or platform, be sure that it is
sturdy enough to support the speaker’s weight.
Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room and think about placement, using the illustration below
as a guide.
•Avoidplacingthespeakersnearpowerampliers,heatregisters
or other objects that generate large amounts of heat.
•Donotplacethespeakersinveryhumidordustyplaces.
•Donotplacethespeakersindirectsunlightorwheretheywillbe
exposed to other strong light.
•The4319isnotvideo-shielded,andmaycausepicturediscoloration
or distortion if placed close to some types of TVs. If this occurs,
move the speakers away from the TV until the discoloration or
distortion disappears.
•Forbestresults,placethespeakers6–8feet(1.5m–2.5m)apart.
If you place the speakers farther apart than this, angle them toward
the listening position.
•Thespeakerswillproducethemostaccuratestereosoundstage
when the angle between the listener and the speakers is between
40 and 60 degrees.
•Positioneachspeakersothatitstweeterisapproximatelyatearlevel.
•Generally,bassoutputwillincreaseasthespeakerismovedclosertoawallorcorner.Forbestperformance,
 werecommendthatyouplacethespeakersatleast20inches(50cm)awayfromthesidewalls.
4. Connections
CAUTION: Make sure that all of the system’s electrical components are turned OFF (and preferably unplugged
from their AC outlets) before making any connections.
Speakersandampliershavecorrespondingpositiveandnegative(“+”and“–”)connection
terminals.The4319hastwosetsofconnectionterminalsthataremarked“+”and“–”onthe
terminalassembly.Additionally,the“+”terminalshaveredrings,whilethe“–”terminals
have black rings. See the illustration on the right.
The4319isdesignedsothatapositivevoltageatthe“+”(red)terminalwillcausethespeaker
drivers to move outward (toward the room).
We recommend using a high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire
witharidgeorothercodingisusuallyconsideredpositivepolarity(“+”).
