1. Using recommended DSP tuning, full-space (4π)
2. Continuous Pink Noise rating is IEC-shaped pink noise with 6 dB crest factor. Peak defined as 6 dB above Continuous Pink Noise Rating.
3. Continuous Average calculated from sensitivity and power handling, exclusive of power compression. Peak measured, unweighted SPL, bi-amp mode,
measured under full-space conditions at 1 meter using broadband pink noise with a 12 dB crest factor and specified preset.
4. 2.83 V RMS, full-space (4π)
JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Some materials, production methods and design refinements are introduced into
existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its
published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design specifications unless otherwise stated.
