THE MUSIC THAT BRINGS YOU TO YOUR FEET IN THE WORLD’S LEADING CONCERT VENUES? It’s a
joint production of your favorite bands and their favorite audio brand. From the
Royal Albert Hall to the Grand Ole Opry and all the best-known halls, stadiums
and amphitheaters in between, JBL®has been the recognized authority in the
amplification of live music for more than 60 years. But when the concerts
are over and the equipment packed up, JBL brings the excitement home.
JBL Performance™Series home theater and music systems utilize technologies,
materials and engineering that duplicate professional-performance characteristics,
letting you enjoy them day in and day out. With a variety of in-wall, on-wall
and traditional loudspeakers, not to mention advanced electronics components,
distortion-free, arena-quality JBL sound now fits into your life – and your living
space – as never before.

YOUR HOME, THE ARENA.
MOVIES AND MUSIC AS YOU’VE NEVER HEARD THEM AT HOME. Individual tastes in movies and music vary widely, of
course. But critical listeners demand a consistently high level of sonic accuracy,
whatever the program material and wherever they listen. Rock or jazz, thrillers
or love stories, in large rooms or small – even outdoors – JBL Performance Series
components are designed and manufactured to deliver uncompromised,
full-spectrum sound anywhere in your home. Choose systems with unobtrusive
built-in loudspeakers that outperform many high-end traditional systems. Or
choose hybrid systems that match in-wall surrounds to shelf- or wall-mounted
front-channel monitors. Or design your own home theater or distributed-music
system from more than 30 different speaker configurations. Performance Series
systems are designed to satisfy your passion for movies and music, as well as
to accommodate where and how you live.

PROCESSING, which can create discrete multichannel sound from
two-channel sources. And with eight analog audio inputs, four coaxial and four optical digital audio inputs, five S-video, five composite and three com­ponent video inputs, it plays well with others.
With 7 X 120 WATTS OF POWER, the AVA7 delivers superb sonic performance, and INTERFACES DIRECTLY
WITH THE AV1, enabling superior remote control. It’s also vented
from the rear and the sides, rather than the top, for direct stacking above or below the AV1.
BETTER IN-WALL PERFORMANCE
These scanning laser vibrometer images compare wall-panel resonances with and without JBL’s Baffle Isolation System™.
Note: More extreme colors indicate increased vibration.

THE POWER TO PERFORM.
THE INSIDE INFORMATION.
To appreciate the full impact of today’s most popular digital media – to achieve the highest possible resolution and fidelity – takes versatility, connectivity and more than a little raw power from your system’s electronics. The state-of-the-art electronic components of the Performance Series deliver brilliantly on all counts.
The JBL PERFORMANCE AVA7 seven-channel power amplifier uses forced-air cooling to ensure the highest level of performance, durability and longevity, even under extended high-power-output demands.
ELLIPTICAL OBLATE SPHEROIDAL™(EOS) WAVEGUIDES
First developed for JBL
FORCED-AIR COOLING
Two variable-velocity fans pull cool air from the back of the AVA7 chassis, over the unit’s heatsinks and out the sides.
OPTIMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
Continuous tracking of the input signal strength and the amplifier temperature determines optimal airflow, which increases durability and longevity
.
SIDE-VENTED
Because the AVA7 is vented from the sides, it can be stacked directly on or under the AVA1.
Professional LSR studio monitors, they evenly disperse high fre­quencies over a wider area, for better imaging anywhere in the listening area.

TITANIUM TWEETERS
Driven by powerful neodymium magnets, these lightweight domes are slavishly literal to the highest frequency sounds, and fast enough to reproduce them effortlessly.
TITANIUM INVERTED-DOME MIDRANGE DRIVERS
Precisely driven from their centers, they deliver nearly perfect pistonic motion for flat frequency response well beyond the crossover point.
STRAIGHT-LINE SIGNAL PATH (SSP) NETWORKS
This crossover design provides the shortest route from the input terminals to the transducers.
Minimizes signal loss and noise.
BENEFIT: Ensures that a
strong, precise signal arrives at each driver.
INVERTED-DOME WOOFERS
Pure, undistorted bass even at the highest listening levels, enabled by rigid cast­aluminum frames that are sonically neutral.
FREEFLOW™-PORT ARCHITECTURE
Couples internal air motion to a computer-designed aperture that allows for maximum air flow without audible “port noise,” extending bass response.
