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.
Hear Every Word : Tapered array crossovers improve dispersion, resulting in better midrange definition to catch every bit of dialogue.
High Quality Cabinet Design : Reinforced ¾” MDF construction with an all-new bracing design reduces cabinet vibration for improved sonic accuracy.
Sleek, Modern Appearance : Hidden fasteners, edge-to-edge horn, and low-profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance.
MDF Cabinet With Scratch-Resistant, Textured Wood Grain Vinyl : Stylish aesthetic with best-in-class durability that results in seamless integration into any decor.
All New 90° X 90° Tractrix Horn : Experience the cleanest, most natural sound possible. The increased outer horn dimensions allow for directivity control over a larger bandwidth of frequencies, resulting in improved high frequency directivity and a more accurate sound stage.
Spun-Copper Thermoformed Crystalline Polymer Woofers : Utilizing trickle-down technology from Klipsch’s highly acclaimed Reference Premiere series, the 5.25” TCP woofers have steeper angling of the cones for a smoother response and improved accuracy and transparency.
Linear Travel Suspension Aluminum Tweeter With Kapton Suspension : The 1” LTS tweeter minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Aluminum is an extremely light and rigid material used in the tweeter assembly to provide high efficiency and improve resolution and detail.
