Commentary
This is a North Ridge series speaker system designed to give home the sound performance of professional JBL.
A 20 cm cone type woofer is installed in the low range.
A new material, Polyplus (polymer-coated fiber cellulose diaphragm), is used for the diaphragm. By suppressing the harmful split vibration of the cone, the piston motion range is expanded and tighter bass reproduction is realized.
A heatscape structure is adopted for the magnetic circuit, and input resistance is improved by efficiently releasing heat from the voice coil.
The mid-range is equipped with 10 cm cone type mid-range.
Polyplascone is used for the diaphragm.
A 1.9 cm dome-shaped tweeter is installed in the high range.
A titanium-laminated diaphragm is used for the diaphragm and mounted on a unique elliptical curved surface (EOS) shorthorn baffle for wider listening and more precise stereo images.
The enclosure uses a bass reflex system.
A free flow bass reflex port is adopted for the bass reflex port, and by optimizing the inflow and outflow of air in the bass reflex port, the breathing phenomenon of the port is eliminated.
