Commentary
The XPL series bookshelf speaker system.
A 16.5 cm cone type woofer is installed in the low range.
The high-range is equipped with a 2.5 cm dome type tweeter using the same pure titanium diaphragm as the mid-range.
By enclosing magnetic fluid inside, input resistance characteristics have been improved.
The network section employs a double-bypass capacitor system with excellent transient characteristics.
Monster cables with excellent transmission characteristics are used for internal wiring.
The tapered design of the enclosure reduces standing waves, and the trapezoidal design from the front to the rear minimizes internal standing waves.
In addition, JBL's unique reaction molded foam high-density material with excellent damping effects is laminated on the particle board at the front of the enclosure to dampen unwanted vibrations in the entire enclosure. In addition, the rounded corners prevent sound diffraction and completely eliminate adverse effects on playback sound.
The front baffle has a unique configuration that sets back the tweeter to the back to minimize the phase difference of each sound range. In addition, JBL's first neoplane foam is used around the unit to eliminate the adverse effect of primary reflection of sound on the baffle surfaces.
There are four types of exterior finishes : walnut finish (WX), black finish (BX), white lacquer finish (WQ) and black lacquer finish (BQ). WQ and BQ are order-made products.
There was a special speaker stand sold separately.
