The 5000-series screen loudspeakers
bring together several of JBL’s advances over recent years. Since the high
frequency section of the system works only above 2500 Hz, it has been
redesigned with Optimized Aperture high frequency horns and drivers,
resulting
in distortion that is
8 to 10 decibels lower than the previous
designs.
A new midrange horn and driver have been introduced into the cinema loudspeaker
art, providing controlled output over the critical range from 300 Hz to 3000
Hz. This is a true compression driver design -- not a horn-loaded cone
driver.JBL’s Vented Gap Cooling low
frequency transducers are used to ensure cool operation with low
power compression over long operating periods.
Digital signal processing is used to provide all aspects of frequency
division, time correction, and system power response and room equalization.
Preset tunings for the 5000-Series are included.
All components of the system have matching radiation patterns at the crossover
frequencies; this contributes to uniform coverage and smooth power response in
the cinema.
