JBL Everest DD66000

 The Project Everest DD66000 loudspeaker system doesn’t merely reassert JBL’s technological leadership, design aesthetic and manufacturing prowess for a new generation of music lovers. It literally embodies our passion for music. Begun in 2002 and completed for the company’s 60th anniversary in 2006, Project Everest is quite simply the most exquisite musical instrument JBL has ever constructed, delivering the highest level of musical fidelity. Once again fulfilling founder James B. Lansing’s vision of creating beautiful, high-performance home loudspeakers.

· Low-frequency driver: 380mm (15") pulp-cone woofer (1501AL) x 2
· High-frequency driver: 100mm (4") beryllium compression driver (476Be)
· Ultrahigh-frequency driver: 25mm (1") beryllium compression driver (045Be-1)
· Horn directivity (horizontal x vertical): High-frequency – 100° x 60°; Ultrahigh-frequency – 60° x 30°
 

· Crossover frequency: 150Hz (LF1 6dB/octave), 700Hz (LF2 24dB/octave), 20kHz (UHF 24dB/octave)
· Control function: HF level control (–0.5dB/0dB/+0.5dB), LF level control (low/high), LF/HF drive mode switch (normal/bi-amp), system orientation switch (left/right)
· Package weight: 174kg (383 lb)
· The DD66000 excels in every sonic respect, with authoritative bass, a pure, detailed midrange and open, extended high-frequency response beyond 50kHz. The DD66000 combines the superlative dynamic range, transient response, and "effortless" quality of horn-loaded compression drivers with the precise imaging, three-dimensional soundstage and articulate low frequency impact provided by the finest dynamic drivers. The DD66000 delivers remarkably natural vocal and instrumental reproduction, and faithfully reproduces the sonic environment present on the original recording.

· Project Everest DD66000 incorporates a host of innovative loudspeaker technologies. Its 045Be-1 ultrahigh-frequency driver uses a 25mm (1") beryllium diaphragm and 50mm (2") neodymium magnet to produce frequency response beyond 50kHz. The 476Be high-frequency compression driver utilizes a 100mm (4"), pure-beryllium diaphragm with a 100mm (4") aluminum edge-wound voice coil, and JBL's rapid-flare, coherent-wave phasing plug. A high-efficiency neodymium-magnet motor structure features refinements such as a pure-copper-sleeved polepiece that maintains maximum magnetic-gap flux and delivers superior sound quality at any volume, with exceptional clarity and resolution.

· These leading-edge transducers operate in conjunction with Bi-Radial® horns that are made from dense and inert SonoGlass material, eliminating unwanted sonic colorations. The horns are shaped to provide optimum dispersion in the horizontal and vertical planes, for smooth frequency response and precise imaging.

· The 1501AL 380mm (15") woofer utilizes an Aquaplas-treated-pulp cone that preserves sonic neutrality while damping internal resonances and providing controlled and articulate bass response. The crossover network is designed to allow the woofers to operate in different frequency ranges, a configuration that provides optimum directivity and high output. The crossover network employs a DC-battery bias system that keeps the capacitors operating in Class A mode, yielding maximum sonic purity.

· The DD66000 features front-mounted control panels that enable precise tuning of low-frequency and high-frequency level and other characteristics, to achieve maximum sonic performance in any system and room. The DD66000 is built to the highest standards, utilizing premium internal components such as polypropylene foil capacitors, and wire-wound and metaloxide resistors and air-core inductors. Extensive internal bracing provides additional rigidity to eliminate unwanted internal resonances.

· The measured performance of the DD66000 is exemplary. The frequency response of the system is extremely smooth and extended. Directivity and power response are highly uniform, harmonic distortion is reduced to inaudible levels, and dynamic linearity is unparalleled.

JBL K2 S9900 3-way 15-inch floor standing speaker

The K2 S9900 continues the tradition of the K2 S9800 and also incorporates key design elements from the DD66000. Despite its 21st century power and sophistication, Project K2 S9900 is a synthesis of tradition and technology. It reflects the design, material, engineering and manufacturing expertise developed and refined through nearly six decades of experience that are the exclusive legacy of one loudspeaker brand – JBL.
The K2 S9900 has a single midrange crossover at 900Hz, blending one 1500AL-1 woofer to the 476Mg compression driver and horn combination. Above 900Hz, the HF compression driver and horn combination operates unassisted, all the way to 20kHz. The 045Be-1 UHF driver is brought in at 15kHz to cover 2 octaves of ultrasonic frequencies.

HARMAN’s JBL Synthesis Debuts Its Ultrahigh-End S4700 Loudspeakers at CES 2012

Philip Weiss

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — At CES 2012, HARMAN’s JBL Synthesis announced the introduction of its S4700 loudspeaker, a three-way floorstanding model that combines a host of newly developed, professional-grade driver technologies with an elegant appearance that combines classic JBL design elements with distinctive contemporary styling. Click here for more info

JBL 1400 Array

JBL Project Array floorstanding loudspeakers employ advanced Aquaplas-treated high-frequency transducers and titanium-diaphragm ultrahigh-frequency drivers in an extremely dense and rigid freestanding horn. The unconventional look of the horn assembly produces an equally unconventional sound: brilliantly clean highs – into the ethereal realm of 40kHz – delivered directly to a listener's ears. Coupled with a fast mid- to high-frequency compression driver in the time–honored JBL Professional tradition, Project Array brings a new level of dimensional accuracy to the tonal and dynamic realism JBL is justly famous for.

JBL SK2-1000BT dual 10" 3- way speaker

The SK2-1000 employes a 3-way design, incorporating an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) compression driver and horn to reproduce high frequencies up to 50 kHz. With the UHF handling the high frequencies, the High Frequency (HF) transducer is upgraded to a design using a 3 inch diaphragm for better reproduction of lower frequencies and better blend with the woofer than the older g e n e r a t i o n s ’ 2-inch diaphragm. Both compression drivers utilize newly developed Beryllium diaphragms to provide the lowest distortion and flattest frequency response possible.
