Conﬁgurable Pattern Cinema Surround Loudspeaker

SPECSHEET

Key Features:

• Unique 3-way design with 15” low frequency driver and passive crossover network

• 390-watt (56 Vrms) power rating (AES 2-hour, IEC/pink)

• Dual Dissimilar Arraying:

- Creates line array pattern control with just two horns

- Provides a sculpted coverage pattern, easily selectable using a switch, for side or rear wall mounting

- Extends HF output power and pattern control a full octave in both frequency spectrum extremes

• Acoustic Divider Waveguide:

- Greatly improves midrange performance of the 15” Differential Drive® woofer

- Provides smooth crossover transition by using very tight driver spacing and controlling breakup mode energy

• Bi-pole wall decoupling

- Creates a low frequency acoustic bi-pole using the Acoustic Divider Waveguide

- Reduces wall reﬂection notching typical of surrounds by shaping rear hemisphere energy

Description:

Today’s immersive cinema systems can place sounds at any location in the theatre by routing unique content to each speaker—front, rear, ceiling

and sides. This requires surround speakers to be just as capable as screen array speakers and use technology not available in traditional surrounds.

To deliver a surround speaker more than worthy of today’s immersive systems, HARMAN engineered the JBL9350 Cinema Surround Loudspeaker—a

high-efﬁciency, high-output 3-way system with conﬁgurable coverage patterns, a 15” Differential Drive woofer, Acoustic Divider Waveguide and Dual

Dissimilar Array.

The 9350 packs a sonic punch and delivers extraordinary sound quality and coverage through its advanced engineering, including three patent-

pending JBL technologies. Each loudspeaker generates a sculpted coverage pattern, selectable with the ﬂick of a switch, to provide the appropriate

coverage when mounted as a side or rear surround. The 9350 further enhances sound quality and coverage thanks to its advanced waveguide and wall

decoupling features. And the optimized built-in passive crossover network means that only one ampliﬁer channel is required for each loudspeaker.

The result? Premium performance, broader coverge and outstanding left/right balance—an accomplishment unheard of in cinema. The sonic sweet spot

just got a whole lot bigger, and that detailed, impactful sound now fully immerses every seat in the theatre, for an audio experience like no other. The

9350 is the ideal complement to screen array loudspeakers, for a dynamic and immersive sonic performance that excites.

JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Some materials, production methods and design reﬁnements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design speciﬁcations unless otherwise stated.
