NO, YOU’RE NOT DREAMING

FRONT AND CENTER, THE INTERNATIONALLY AWARD-WINNING K2 S9800 is one of the most refined and
spectacular speakers ever created by JBL. Featuring beryllium high-frequency and ultrahigh-frequency compression
drivers, and a specially designed Bi-Radial horn, high frequencies are reproduced to beyond 40kHz, while a massive 15­inch woofer thunders down to below 40Hz. In short, the K2 S9800 is designed to produce extraordinary sonic accuracy.
All around you, six S1A dipole ambient surround speakers, each with dual 2-inch high-frequency and dual 8-inch mid­bass drivers. And from everywhere and nowhere, gloriously rich, clean bass from four S1S-EX 18-inch, 800-watt
subwoofers. In all, 13 exceptionally refined loudspeaker systems, driven by the SDP-40HD processor/controller, an
SDEC-4000 digital equalizer and no fewer than ten S800 amplifiers. A no-expense-spared entertainment system for
listening rooms of up to 75,000 cubic feet, Synthesis K2 delivers up to 8,000 watts of power and achieves sound­pressure levels as high as 105dBA without distortion, making it by far the highest-power, highest-performance, highest­quality system ever developed for residential use. The S4Ai in-wall dipole/bipole ambient speaker can be used in place
of the S1A for installations where an in-wall speaker is needed.
