The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the users to the presence of impor-
tant operating and maintenance (servicing) instruc-
tions in the literature accompanying the product.
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol, within
an equilateral triangle, is to alert the user to the
presence of insulated “dangerous voltage” within the
products enclosure that may be of sufficient magni-
tude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The SRX700 speakers covered by this manual are not intended for fixed installation in outdoor or high moisture
environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and cause corrosion of electrical contacts
and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to direct moisture. Keep speakers out of extended or intense direct
sunlight. The driver suspension will prematurely dry out and finished surfaces may be degraded by long-term
exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV) light.
SRX700 speakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood
or linoleum, the speaker may move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should be taken to assure
that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.
Stand mounting safety precautions
Some SRX700 models include a 35 mm receptacle cup to allow mounting on tripod stands or on a pole over
subwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions:
;Check the stand or pole specification to be certain the device is designed to support the weight of the
speaker. Observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer.
;Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer / pole) is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface and be sure to
fully extend the legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs do not present a trip hazard.
;Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip and topple the speakers over.
;Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with worn,
damaged, or missing parts.
;Do not attempt to place more than one SRX700 speaker on a stand or pole.
;Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight (i.e. sand
bags) on the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners or similar items to any part of a
speaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system.
;Unless you are confident that you can handle the weight of the speaker, ask another person to help you get
it onto the tripod stand or pole.
Hearing damage, prolonged exposure to excessive SPL
SRX700 loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause perma-
nent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken to avoid
prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.

Infrasonic Filter Settings
It is a good practice to use a High Pass Filter (HPF) to prevent frequencies below the system tuning frequen-
cy from reaching the speaker. Inputting these frequencies to the speaker will not result in any appreciable
acoustic output but will put needless mechanical stress on the woofer and reduce available amplifier head-
room. A High Pass Filter will protect your SRX700 system from excess infrasonic energy with little, if any
loss of significant program content. Refer to the above chart for infrasonic filter settings.
Processor Tunings
System tunings for dbx DriveRack processors have been developed for the SRX700 series. If your
DriveRack was manufactured prior to the release of SRX700, you may obtain the settings from the dbx web-
site at http://www.dbxpro.com/downloads.htm, or from the JBL Pro website at www.jblpro.com/pages/soft-
ware_downloads.htm. The tunings are available in digital format and may be loaded directly into your
DriveRack processor (except DriveRack PA).
The settings are also provided in a .PDF document for owners of the DriveRack PA. For other processors or
for analog crossovers and equalizers, the PDF tunings may be used as a starting point. Be aware that all
digital processor models may not respond identically to a particular setting.
DuraFlex™ Finish
The DuraFlex finish used on your SRX700 series speakers is one of the most rugged finishes ever applied
to a speaker. However, all speaker finishes are subject to damage. Should the DuraFlex finish require repair,
a touch-up kit (Part Number 30052) is available from JBL Professional Parts.
Removable JBL Logo Badge
For applications requiring a more unobtrusive appearance, the JBL badge may be peeled off exposing a
JBL logo that is cut into the grille. Note that the badge may not adhere properly if reattached.

FLYING AND SUSPENSION
JBL SRX700 series offers 4 models with suspendable capabilities: SRX715F, SRX722F, SRX725F and
SRX738F. Before attempting to suspend your speakers, read and understand the following safety information.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING!
The information in this section has been assembled from recognized engineering data and is intended for infor-
mational purposes only. None of the information in this section should be used without first obtaining competent
advice with respect to applicability to a given circumstance. None of the information presented herein is intended
as a representation or warranty on the part of JBL. Anyone making use of this information assumes all liability
arising from such use.
All information presented herein is based upon materials and practices common to North America and may not
directly apply to other countries because of differing material dimensions, specifications, and/or local regulations.
Users in other countries should consult with appropriate engineering and regulatory authorities for specific

Are You New to Rigging?
If you are new to rigging, you should do the following:
;Read and study JBL Technical Note Volume 1, Number 14: Basic Principles for Suspending
Loudspeaker Systems (available at http://www.jblpro.com/pub/technote/tn_v1n14.pdf).
;Know the rules for safe rigging.
;Attend a safe rigging seminar, such as that presented by professionals like Rigging Seminars™ or by
Chain Motor Hoist manufacturers like Columbus McKinnon Corp. (manufacturers of the C/M Lodestar).
;Meet and establish a relationship with a licensed mechanical or structural engineer. Get in the habit of
asking them questions instead of guessing about their answers. Learn from what they tell you.
;Meet and discuss this aspect of your business with your Insurance Agent.
;Research and understand the codes, practices, and requirements in the venues where you intend to
operate your sound system.
General Hardware Information
Any hardware used in an overhead suspension application must be load rated for the intended use. Generally,
this type of hardware is available from rigging supply houses; industrial supply catalogs and specialized rigging
distributors. Local hardware stores do not usually stock these products. Hardware that is intended for overhead
suspension will comply with ASME B30.20 and will be manufactured under product traceability controls.
Compliant hardware will be referenced with a working load limit (WLL) and a traceability code.
Attachment to Structures
A licensed Professional Engineer must approve the placement and method of attachment to the structure prior to
the installation of any overhead object. The following performance standards should be provided to the
Professional Engineer for design purposes; Uniform Building Code as applicable, Municipal Building Code as
applicable, and Seismic Code as applicable.
The installation of the hardware and method of attachment must be carried out in the manner specified by the
Professional Engineer. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death.

Inspection & Maintenance
Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, they require regular inspection and rou-
tine maintenance to insure proper function ability. JBL SRX700F loudspeakers must be inspected for fatigue at
least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of all corners and load bearing surfaces for signs of
cracking, water damage, de-lamination, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the loudspeaker
enclosure. Accessory rigging hardware provided with or for the JBL SRX700F loudspeakers must be inspected
for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of the material for signs of corrosion,
bending or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the fastener. Additionally, any eyebolts shall be
checked for possible spin-out of the enclosure. For all other hardware and fittings, refer to the hardware manufac-
turer's inspection and maintenance guidelines for process.
JBL is not responsible for the application of its products for any purpose or the misuse of this information for any
purpose. Furthermore, JBL is not responsible for the abuse of its products caused by avoiding compliance with
inspection and maintenance procedures or any other abuse.
Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in flying speaker systems should inspect all
rigging parts and components.

Safe Rigging
The JBL SRX700 suspendable version loudspeakers are supplied with built-in internal brackets. The system is
designed to facilitate the suspension of the loudspeaker by a qualified person familiar with rigging hardware and
industry practices. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death.
Working Load Limit
The working load limit (WLL) of any JBL SRX700 suspendable loudspeaker will be maintained as long as no
more than 136 kg (300 lb) is suspended by a minimum of TWO (2) PRIMARY SUSPENSION points (Track
Suspension), or 46 kg (100 lb) is suspended by TWO (2) of the SECONDARY SUSPENSION points (M10
Forged Shoulder Eyebolts).
Flying for Portable Applications (Primary Suspension)
For portable, temporary suspension of SRX700F models, order the JBL SRX-FF3. This kit includes three detach-
able fly-clips. For additional suspension components, contact a professional rigging hardware supplier.
WARNING
Before lifting any speaker using fly-clip attach-
ments, be certain that the latch mechanism of all
fly-clips is fully and properly engaged with the
track. An audible click will be heard.
Latch mechanism must be
down and fully engaged
Latch mechanism must be
down and fully engaged
Suspension in Fixed Installations (Secondary Suspension)

WARNING
Suspension of SRX700 speakers must employ
both top attachment points. When "bridling" an
SRX700,two (2) legs of equal length must be used.
The rear attachment point is a pull-back point and
is intended only for use in adjusting the down-
angle of the speaker enclosure. Only the top and
bottom attachment points are intended for use as
suspension points.
