HIGHLIGHTS
Engineered to work as a system
Components are designed to work together for optimal
performance
Voice-matched speakers
The four identical satellites are voice-matched to the centre for
consistent sound from speaker to speaker, creating a more realistic 360-degree soundstage
Dual midrange drivers
Both the satellites and centre speaker employ dual midrange drivers for
heightened realism and reduced distortion
150-watt powered subwoofer
Fast-moving 8-inch (200mm) woofer delivers realistic, high-
impact bass
Down-firing bass driver
Unlike conventional front-firing drivers, the SUB 140P Subwoofer
interacts with the floor rather than nearby walls for improved bass quality
Distinctive JBL Weave design
Dynamic, one-of-a-kind look
