Project Array draws on more

than half a century of 

innovative JBL engineering

Aluminum compression driver

The neodymium motor and edge-wound voice

coil of Kapton

®

-encapsulated aluminum wire

drive a 75mm (3") Aquaplas-treated aluminum

dome mounted in a rigid, constant-directivity

horn. This is the secret behind the three-

dimensional imaging of JBL Project Array.

Titanium super tweeter

The edge-wound voice coil attached directly

to a 25mm (1") titanium diaphragm and driven

by a 50mm (2") neodymium motor assembly

delivers uniform response out to 40kHz. The

vertical SonoGlass constant directivity horn

maintains an optimum dispersion pattern of 

60 degrees x 30 degrees.

Classic JBL bass drivers

The Project Array woofers are all based on

acclaimed JBL Professional bass drivers.

They employ massive ferrite motor assem-

blies, edge-wound copper voice coils and

durable rubber surrounds to drive an essen-

tially inert Aquaplas-coated pulp-cone assem-

bly. Built to play loud and long, they proudly

reflect their professional heritage.

Unique enclosure

The trapezoidal low-frequency internal enclo-

sure is constructed of heavily braced 1-1/2"

MDF. A raised-top cavity minimizes diffraction

from the exposed high-frequency horn. Brass

spikes couple the external enclosure to the

floor. Project Array lives up to JBL’s long-

standing reputation for rugged construction.

All Array loudspeakers are available in the

same rich, luxurious black zebrawood finish

as the K2 S9800 Special Edition.

Seamless system integration

Project Array crossovers use 4th-order

acoustic transitions, ultralow-loss inductors

and polypropylene capacitors. The high and

ultrahigh crossover sections are isolated on

a separate board in a different section of the

enclosure to minimize crosstalk with the

low-frequency crossover.

Flexible system building

1400 ARRAY

is a three-way floor-

standing design featuring the LE14H-3

350mm (14") Aquaplas-treated pulp cone

driver with 100mm (4") copper voice coil, the

driver and the 435AL-1 75mm (3") Aquaplas-

treated aluminum-dome compression driver.

1000 ARRAY

is a three-way floorstanding

design featuring the Array 10 250mm (10")

polymer-treated pulp-cone driver with 38mm 

(1-1/2") copper edge-wound voice coil, the 045Ti

25mm (1") pure-titanium compression driver and

the 175Nd-3 44mm (1-3/4") Aquaplas-treated

aluminum-dome compression driver.

800 ARRAY

is a three-way bookshelf

design featuring the Array 8 200mm (8")

polymer-treated pulp-cone driver with 

38mm (1-1/2") copper voice coils wound on an

aluminum former, the 045Ti 25mm (1") pure-

titanium compression driver and the 175Nd-3

44mm (1-3/4") Aquaplas-treated aluminum-

dome compression driver. The dual bass drivers

are mounted on angled baffles in an independent

trapezoidal enclosure.
