The nearly invisible JBL Arena architectural series speaker, seamlessly built into your custom home audio installation, immerses you in full, room-filling JBL sound.
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.
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.
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.
2-Year Warranty Valid from the date of purchase for powered loudspeakers.
Class D amplification means Flex is a big, bold, hi-res listen when it’s working alone.
Flex uses a 25mm decoupled double-dome tweeter and 100mm woven glass-fiber mid-bass driver to deliver superb hi-res audio.
Add a second Flex to create a compact, high-performance stereo pair. Or form a surround-sound system by adding Bar and Bass.
Technical Features - Apple AirPlay 2 Technology, Spotify Connect, Roon Ready, Bluetooth In, Digital Signal Processing, Digital Amplifier, Dynamic EQ.
Our smallest wireless speaker has big sound. Whether working alone, with a Flex partner in stereo, or as part of a surround-sound system with Formation Bar and/or Formation Bass, Flex has convenience with performance to match.
