Professional Division Warranty 

Every JBL Professional Series transducer is guaranteed 

against defects in material and workmanship for a period of 
five years. JBL electronic products are warranted for a 

period of two years. JBL will replace defective parts and 
make necessary repairs under this warranty if our exam-
ination reveals evidence of faulty workmanship or material. 

The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, 
accident or neglect. JBL retains the exclusive right to make 
such determination on the basis of factory inspection. 

Moreover, because we believe that a fine loudspeaker, 

like a fine musical instrument, should never wear out, we 

will repair any JBL transducer free of charge without time 

limitation if factory inspection discloses evidence of an 

original manufacturing defect. 

If it is impractical to return the product to the factory, 

please write JBL describing the difficulty or malfunction. 
JBL may, at its option, establish alternative repair proce-

dures or furnish replacement parts as appropriate. 

Products returned to the factory must be shipped prepaid 

and will not be accepted unless written authorization has 

first been obtained. 

The warranty on JBL products shall remain valid only 

if repairs are performed by JBL or under its authorized 
procedures, and provided that the serial number on the 

unit has not been defaced or removed.

N o t e : Unlike many "theatre type" loudspeaker systems that exhibita rise in the 

midrange region, the 4311 is a true monitor providing substantially the same 

sensitivity through the full range of audible frequencies. Measured sensitivity 

below 500 Hz or above 2000 Hz may be considerably greater than that of 

other systems with higher EIA sensitivity ratings. 

3

Since the major portion of the energy reproduced by the low frequency loud-

speaker lies below 800 Hz, this specification has been developed by using a 

test signal warbled from 100 to 500 Hz, rather than the conventional 1-kHz 

sine wave test signal on which the EIA sensitivity is based.
