INTRODUCING A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT IN SOUND. AND ART DIRECTION.
JBL® HAS BEEN BRINGING MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS TO LIFE
for more than 60 years, with massive professional loudspeaker systems hidden away behind the screens of the world’s
premier movie houses. But you don’t have to go massive to experience the same level of excitement at home. JBL
Cinema Sound speaker systems are among the smallest and most elegant JBL has ever produced. But they surround
you with crisp, accurate high frequencies, distinct center channel dialogue and deep, floor-rumbling bass – all the stuff
Hollywood dreams are made of.
Available in four speaker-only configurations, as well as three complete home theater packages that include sophisticated source electronics, there’s a JBL Cinema Sound system for any space or budget.

JBL Cinema Sound satellites
feature concealed speaker
terminals, and the optional
aluminum floor stands conceal
the wires themselves.
Wall-mount brackets are
included with all satellite and
center channel speakers.
STIFFER CONES
JBL Cinema Sound’s cellulose-fiber cones are
reinforced with a polymer coating for uniform
pistonic motion, eliminating internal resonances
without increasing cone mass. That delivers
tighter, more precise bass.
BETTER IMAGING
Originally developed for Professional LSR studio
monitors, JBL Cinema Sound’s proprietary EOS
waveguides evenly disperse high frequencies,
delivering more precise stereo imaging over
a wider listening area.
GREATER ACC URACY
An extremely thin yet extremely rigid titanium
laminate dome, reinforced with a foil laminate,
ensures accurate, undistorted high-frequency
response, even at realistic (meaning loud)
listening levels.
TIGHTER BASS
The computer-optimized geometry of JBL’s
FreeFlow™ bass reflex port in the powered
subwoofer extends deep bass response while
eliminating unwanted turbulence and noise.
ELEGANCE IS ALSO
AN ENGINEERING TERM.
