Project ArrayTM – 1400 Array
High-performance loudspeaker
Features
Three-way floorstanding design featuring:
An Aquaplas-treated pulp-cone low-frequency driver with 100mm (4") copper edge-wound voice coil.
A 045Ti 25mm (1") pure-titanium ultrahigh-frequency compression driver.
A 435AL -1 75mm (3") Aquaplas-treated aluminum-dome high-frequency compression driver.
The 1400 Array utilizes a 435AL aluminum midrange compression driver with an ultrahigh-frequency 0 45Ti titanium com-
pression driver. Both drivers are mated to a vertically oriented Bi-Radial
compact neodymium motor assembly that is encapsulated in a Kapton
pneumatically formed from an extremely thin aluminum foil that yields superlative sound quality. The ultrahigh-frequency
compression driver features a neodymium magnet and an aluminum edge-wound voice coil directly mounted to a titanium
diaphragm to reduce weight and deliver exceptionally detailed, extended high-frequency response with optimal dispersion.
The loudspeaker employs an LE14 H-3 350mm (14") low-frequency transducer, which is the latest generation of JBL’s highly
acclaimed LE14 woofer series. This industry-standard transducer employs refinements such as a copper edge-wound voice
coil in a 100mm (4") ferrite-magnet motor assembly; a pulp-cone woofer that is treated with a controlled amount of
Aquaplas coating to achieve taut, authoritative bass response down to 35Hz; and a specially formulated, high-excursion
rubber surround for high-power-handling capability and extended longevity.
In common with all Project Array loudspeakers (except the 1500 Array), the 14 00 Array features a 4th-order crossover
network that utilizes low-loss air-core inductors and audiophile-grade polypropylene-dielectric capacitors. A separate
crossover network for each transducer minimizes interactions and maintains the purest possible audio quality.
The 1400 Array brings out the best in the highest-resolution program sources such as DVD-Audio and SACDTM, and faithfully
reproduces the sonic environment present on the original recording with precise image placement and a realistically scaled,
three-dimensional soundstage.
