A new level of dimensional

accuracy and tonal and 

dynamic realism

JBL Project

Array floor-

standing loud-

speakers employ

advanced

Aquaplas-treated

high-frequency

transducers and

titanium-

diaphragm ultra-

high-frequency

drivers in an extremely dense and rigid free-

standing horn. The unconventional look of the

horn assembly produces an equally unconven-

tional sound: brilliantly clean highs, into the

ethereal realm of 40kHz, delivered directly to

the listener’s ears.

The straighter the path from the high-frequency

transducers to your ears, the better and more

lifelike the sound.

Constant-directivity horns

deliver massive yet highly

accurate sound

Combining our proprietary horn systems with 

a fast bass 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.

Project Array is the latest innovation from 

Greg Timbers, JBL’s chief systems engineer,

who has been behind many acclaimed and

award-winning loudspeakers over the years,

including the 43 Series monitors and Project K2.

PRO SOUND

JBL leads the world in the design and manu-

facture of professional audio equipment. JBL

is how movie soundtracks and music record-

ings are created, mixed and mastered. JBL 

is how audio professionals work with sound,

and how the rest of the world hears it. Live 

or recorded, indoors or out, JBL has set the

standard of realism for 60 years.

Classic JBL high- and ultra-

high-frequency sound and

pulse-pounding bass

Now Project Array brings the JBL Pro Sound

home. With the technologies professionals

are accustomed to and the uncompromised

quality they insist upon, Project Array is home

entertainment to delight the most critical lis-

teners, including those who listen for a living.

One (often-overlooked) key to realistic, full-

spectrum dynamics and 360-degree imaging

is constant directivity from high-frequency

drivers. While bass and midrange frequencies

can survive some interaction with walls and

furniture, high and ultrahigh frequencies are

greatly diminished by it, especially at high

listening levels.
