JBL Synthesis

JBL Synthesis is announcing the introduction of its S4700 loudspeaker and reintroducing its Project Array 1000 and Array 800 loudspeakers. The S4700 incorporates technologies directly derived from the world-renowned Project Everest DD66000 and Project K2 S9900 loudspeakers to deliver extraordinary fidelity and musical realism.

The Array 1000 and Array 800 combine the exceptional dynamic contrasts, transient response and efficiency of horn-loaded compression drivers with the accurate imaging and low-frequency presence of dynamic drivers, along with superlative resolution, an expansive soundstage and a natural tonal balance.
