High-performance loudspeaker
The 1400 Array is the top-of-the-line loudspeaker in JBL’s Project ArrayTM lineup. Engineered for superlative sonic per formance in the most ambitious home theater and music systems, the 1400 Array’s remarkable fidelity and sonic realism is sure to thrill even the most-demanding audiophiles. The 14 00 Array utilizes the same 435AL aluminum midrange compression driver found in JBL’s ultrahigh-end K 2
®
S5800 Series loudspeaker, paired with an ultrahigh-frequency 045Ti pure-titanium compression driver.

Features
Three-way floorstanding design featuring:
An Aquaplas-treated pulp-cone low-frequency driver with 100mm (4") copper edge-wound voice coil.
A 045Ti 2 5mm (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
®
horn. The 435AL uses a 75mm (3") voice coil in a
compact neodymium motor assembly that is encapsulated in a Kapton
®
suspension for unmatched durabilit y. The driver is 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 longevit y.
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.
