Features and Benefi ts

Sound Inspired by JBL’s legendary M2 Master Reference Monitor

High Defi nition Imaging (HDI) waveguide technology takes its cues from the legendary JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor. Computer-optimized driver positioning 
and network integration result in ideal performance and life-like soundstage imaging throughout the entire room, regardless of location. Proven acoustic superiority 
through rigorous testing and real-world evaluation.

Paintable, nearly invisible zero-bezel magnetic grille

Speakers are nearly invisible, seamlessly blending into wall or ceiling architecture. Equally pleasing to audiophiles and interior designers as full-dispersion speakers 
can be fully painted and integrated into any confi guration or setup. Engineered for the custom installer with a whole-room, seamless audio and visual design in mind.

Superior XL-2 installation bracket

Sturdy, reliable design fi t for easy installation in walls up to a full 2" thick. Specialty mechanical grip designed to minimize vibration regardless of installation format. 
Handles custom installation better than typical 1-1/2" bracket designs.
