SAM3VA

Key Features

 1" (25mm) Pure-titanium compression driver for extended high-frequency response to exceed SACD™ and

DVD-Audio specifications.

 The special deep-anodized aluminum cone and dome material, together with the motor features, helps to

reduce midband distortions to very low levels (approximately 50dB to 60dB below the fundamental signal driven
at 100dB output).

 The 6.5" (165mm) mid-bass drivers incorporate many of JBL’s patented technologies – such as Symmetrical

Field Geometry™ (SFG), Symmetrical Inductance Modulation (SIM) and Vented Gap Cooling™ (VGC

 HF horn dispersion: 80° H x 80° V
 UHF horn dispersion: 60° H x 30° V
 Three-way design with UHF compression horn to extend frequency response to 40kHz

Description

The small footprint of the SAM3VA allows this speaker to be easily installed next to or behind screens, or can be installed in an area
that is exposed due to the finish trim of the cabinetry. High output drivers allow very large rooms and high SPL levels to be achieved.
Equally at home as a Left and Right or Center channel in a Synthesis Three-Array system. Can also be used as a direct radiating
surround speaker where needed.
