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
and THX Ultra2™, DTS-ES®and Neo:6®, and Dolby®DPL, DPL II

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.

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.

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
