Good Times

GOOD TIME. THE GOOD TIMES GREAT. That rock concert that was still replaying in your head the next morning? That was the work of JBL® engineering. The popcorn-scattering action movie that pushed your seat into full recline? Courtesy of JBL home theater speakers. Your all-time-favorite CDs, adrenaline-pumping video games and attitude-altering car audio? Yes, JBL products are with you for all your good times.

AUTHORITY IN AUDIO REPRODUCTION FOR sixty YEARS. Wherever you are, wherever you’re going and everywhere in between, no brand has more ways to engage your senses and entertain your brain than JBL. JBL technology and experience bridge the worlds of consumer and professional sound. Building the equipment that music and movie professionals need and critical listeners demand is rigorous, exacting work, involving lots of math and engineering. But don’t let that take the fun out of it for you. All you have to do is enjoy.

THE HISTORY OF JBL

6

1940s

1950s

FILM NOIR, BIG BANDS, THE BABY BOOM. James B. Lansing, who led the team that first brought high-quality sound to movie theaters, strikes out on his own, founding James B. Lansing Sound, Incorporated. Among the first products: a highfrequency transducer that audio professionals still use today. What other high-tech product can claim to have survived unchanged for sixty years? The mind boggles.

ROCK ’N’ ROLL, SCHLOCKY SCI-FI, THE COLD WAR. JBL, Inc., establishes itself as the clear leader in studio and theater sound. Leo Fender chooses the JBL D130 transducer to amplify his electric guitar. And the pioneering JBL Hartsfield loudspeaker introduces true high fidelity to homes everywhere, ­signaling listeners to relax and turn up the music.


history

Project Array. See page 24.

SOUND. 1960s

CARNABY ST., JAMES BOND, THE SPACE AGE. The now legendary JBL 4320 loudspeaker is the definitive studio monitor of its day. And after a major appearance at Woodstock in 1969 (it was in all the papers), JBL speakers become standard equipment at rock concerts around the world.

1970s

POLYESTER, STAR WARS, DIGITAL WATCHES. Billboard magazine ranks JBL studio monitors number one. And the L100 – a consumer version of the 4320 – brings JBL Pro technology home for the first time. The L100 goes on to become one of the best-selling speakers of the decade and is more fondly remembered today than bell bottoms and platform shoes combined.

1980s

1990s

TODAY

VCRs, PAC-MAN, MUSIC VIDEOS ON TELEVISION. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences chooses JBL components to introduce 70mm Dolby® stereo in showcase theaters. And JBL titanium diaphragms and Bi-Radial® horns transform professional studio monitors. At this point in history, can realistic home theater be far behind?

E-MAIL, DVDs, ONLINE TRADING. JBL speakers corner the market for THX® theater installations. JBL near-field studio monitors take the lead in 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel sound mixing and mastering. And JBL Simply Cinema® systems revolutionize home theater. The hits just keep coming.

PLASMA TVs, THE iPod. Clean, powerful sound goes to places where it has never been before. JBL On Time™ and JBL On Tour™ systems join the award-winning line of innovative JBL multimedia products. You’re spending a lot of time with your iPod and other digital devices. Why shouldn’t it be quality time?

James Bond, Star Wars and Pac-Man are trademarks of their respective companies in the U.S. and/or other countries and are not associated or affiliated with Harman International Industries, Incorporated. 7


PURE-TITANIUM DOME TWEETERS. Driven by neodymium magnets, JBL tweeters are faithfully literal to the highest-frequency sounds and fast enough to reproduce them effortlessly – even the highs that you can sense but only your dog can actually hear.

EOS WAVEGUIDES. First developed for JBL Professional LSR studio monitors, Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal™ waveguides evenly disperse high frequencies over a wide area. So sit wherever you’re comfortable. The great sound will come to you.

BI-RADIAL® HORN. The patented JBL horn design achieves constant directivity, delivering smooth midrange and high frequencies over a wide listening area. The result is astonishingly clear, uncolored sound.

HEATSCAPE™ PRECISION MOTOR TECHNOLOGY. Heat is the enemy of good bass, but the proprietary JBL motor assembly dissipates heat, protecting the sensitive voice coil. So turn the volume up and keep it there. JBL products can handle it.

ADVANCED JBL SOUND PROCESSING.

8

POLYPLAS™REINFORCED CONES. Stiffer cones deliver more uniform pistonic motion for deeper, tighter bass. PolyPlas™ technology stiffens cones without adding significant weight that would only slow things down. JBL engineers love it when stuff like that happens.

HIGH-CURRENT CAPABILITY. “ ­Watts per channel” is only one measure of amplifier power. To handle program peaks (which some movie blockbusters deliver every thirty seconds or so), JBL engineers design everything – from the transformers to the size of the capacitors – for sheer muscle. Filmmakers dish it out, JBL systems run with it.


ULTRAWIDEBANDWIDTH DESIGN. The human ear is capable of hearing sound in the range of 20Hz to 20kHz. Of course, real-world sounds come in all frequencies, and reproducing them realistically requires systems with very wide bandwidth. JBL am­pli­fi­ ers, which operate in an ultra­ wide range, bring a new level of accuracy to the lowest lows and the highest highs.

FREEFLOW™ PORT ARCHITECTURE. A computer-optimized flared aperture eliminates audible port noise, freeing up your bass to do its all-important thing. (Cue the colliding asteroids.)

LOGIC 7®. With patented algorithms capable of producing discrete 7.1-, 6.1- or 5.1-channel sound fields from the tens of thousands of two-channel sources in widespread use, Logic 7® processing assures you of the fullest, most realistic sound possible, regardless of source. Your old CDs and video tapes? Still good. Better than ever, in fact.

TECHNOLOGIES BEHIND GREAT JBL SOUND.

VMAx®. Not every room that can accommodate a flatpanel video display can also comfortably fit seven speakers and a subwoofer. But VMAx® technology can create a 360-degree sound field using just two speakers. So now any room can get the full home theater treatment.

MULTIROOM TECHNOLOGY. With A-BUS® tech and a Zone II remote control, a simple cable connection to an AB 1 module is all you’ll need to distribute and control audio in any room of your house. Oh, the power!

TECHNOLOGY/SOUND

STRAIGHT-LINE SIGNAL PATH™ (SSP) NETWORKS. By taking the shortest possible route from the input terminals to the transducers, this cross­ over design minimizes noise and signal loss. You’re paying for the whole signal; you should hear the whole signal.

EzSET®. Achieving the right balance among the speakers in your home theater system is now virtually foolproof. Follow a few on-screen instructions, push a few buttons on the remote control, and have a seat. It couldn’t be easier.

PROJECT EVEREST DD66000

MUSIC. HIGH-END SYSTEMS

IN TERMS OF ITS BASIC CONFIGURATION, the Project Everest DD66000 is an augmented two-way speaker system, a venerable JBL design. One 380mm (15") woofer crosses over to a large-format compression driver and horn at 700Hz, the midpoint of the low frequency audio spectrum. A second 380mm woofer reinforces the bass frequencies from below 30Hz to 150Hz, while an ultrahigh-frequency driver operates exclusively in the ethereal realm above 20kHz. The choice of crossover points minimizes the sonic degradation that even a high-quality dividing network can cause. We phase the woofers to achieve uniform directivity across their entire operating range while greatly enhancing performance at the low end. The unparalleled dynamic linearity and harmonic-distortion levels approach those of a fine amplifier. Is there a loudspeaker system in existence that can realistically reproduce the subtlest nuances of any musical source material better than Project Everest DD66000? Project Everest’s exquisite and flawlessly finished enclosure, the work of industrial designer Daniel Ashcraft, is itself an integral system component, playing a key role in overall performance. The elegant curves of the front baffle, which recall the legendary design of JBL Hartsfield and Paragon speakers, form the side walls of a large high-frequency horn, along with top and bottom flares molded of high-impact SonoGlass® material. We join these curved panels, which we create in a proprietary manufacturing process, to flat MDF (medium-density fiberboard) panels with a complex internal bracing system. The dual-woofer baffle is a separately braced six-sided assembly – covered in select, genuine leather – which interlocks into the main enclosure, forming an extremely rigid, vibration-free structure.

CLASSIC HOME ... and, in some cases, they’re right. But traditional JBL loudspeakers are classics of an entirely different kind. Like the chic roadster and soulful rock 'n' roll (neither of which has gone out of style), JBL Classic loudspeakers are the real thing. They’ve led the way, kept ahead of the times and inspired a kind of customer loyalty that we can only describe as fierce. Today, JBL Classic speakers can accurately reproduce even the most dynamic high-definition sources with an utter fidelity that will compel you to become lost in your favorite music. They’re definitely not your parents’ loudspeakers (although we’re pretty sure your parents would approve).

LS SERIES

CLASSIC SYSTEMS

EXQUISITE CRAFTSMANSHIP. the ls series is a NEW EXPRESSION OF THE MOST ADVANCED JBL TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE. Loud, clear, stunningly realistic audio reproduction for public spaces and private homes has been a JBL hallmark for more than 60 years. JBL has achieved this distinction by using the most innovative technologies and materials in both professional and consumer systems, up and down the product line. It’s how flagship products become bestsellers, and how the JBL Pro Sound Comes Home™ ideal becomes a reality. The high-performance JBL LS Series loudspeakers share the design philosophy and signature Bi-Radial®-horn/compression-driver configuration of the widely acclaimed JBL Project K2® and Project Array – as well as of the Project Everest DD66000, the most uncannily lifelike musical instrument ever to bear the JBL name. The system looks elegant as well, due to its streamlined design and its sumptuous black or mahogany surfaces. Considering the lineage of the LS Series, it is only natural that you might expect greatness from LS speakers. Greatness was a design specification, and it’s the very thing these remarkable, new loudspeakers were born to deliver.

35


THE IDEAL HOME AUDIO SYSTEM DOESN’T FAVOR MUSIC OVER MOVIES, OR SMALL ROOMS OVER LARGER ONES. The ideal home audio system has the raw power to reproduce bass and midrange frequencies without any effort or distortion at any listening level, as well as the finesse to deliver brilliantly clean high- and ultrahigh-frequency sound directly to your ears, undiminished by interaction with walls and furniture. In the high frequencies, LS Series speakers employ a constant-directivity HF compression driver and UHF ring tweeter in a unique, computer-optimized baffle that suppresses phase interference and signal loss. The realism of low-frequency sound is heightened with high-performance, dual pulp-cone woofers in a staggered network design for exceptionally rich bass response. Working together, these technologies ensure that LS Series speakers render out-of-this-world action sequences and delicate, otherworldly musical passages with equal clarity and accuracy. A curved lower baffle presents acoustic interference with the lower woofer while gradually transitioning into the glossy side panels, available in deep black or rich mahogany. Music and movies are made to be enjoyed. JBL has engineered LS Series speakers to ensure that you’ll enjoy them to their fullest, whatever your taste in entertainment may be.

JBL CONTROL NOW

JBL CONTROL NOW AW

ONE SPEAKER, DOZENS OF POSSIBILITIES. The shape of the JBL Control NOW™ speaker makes it perhaps the most flexible speaker ever developed. Mounting options for single JBL Control Now speakers and multispeaker arrays are literally too numerous to list in detail. But just to get you thinking in the right direction, here are a few possibilities. You can mount single speakers horizontally or vertically on walls, in corners between walls or between walls and ceilings. They can sit horizontally or vertically on a shelf or tabletop. You can mount arrays of two, three or four speakers virtually anywhere, in any environment – on walls, on ceiling poles, even spanning reverse corners – and you can configure them for either single-channel or single-point stereo use. With an included floor-stand adapter, they can work with a multitude of optional third-party stands. And everything a JBL Control NOW speaker can do indoors, JBL Control NOW AW speakers can do outdoors.§ Use them in traditional stereo setups, for home theaters or for background and whole-house music systems. Forget the usual technical challenges that come with wiring multiple-speaker systems. JBL Control NOW speakers eliminate impedance restrictions with a wiring adapter that makes configuring multi-unit arrays simple. If your amplifier can drive one JBL Control NOW loudspeaker, it can drive up to four of them.
