AT JBL, SPEAKER DESIGN IS ALL SCIENCE. THERE ARE THREE STAGES IN ENGINEERING LOUDSPEAKERS AT JBL: Computer-aided design and modeling, prototyping and testing. JBL speakers are thoroughly tested and qualified at each stage to ensure that the finished product performs flawlessly. Every speaker design starts with physical dimensions that facilitate installation in factory locations, along with a complete set of performance targets. Performance targets include maximum SPL, or how loud the speake

TESTING At JBL, we spare no expense in testing loudspeakers. Prototype and production samples are first tested for frequency-response range and uniformity in one of our anechoic chambers using MLS and swept sine-wave analyzers. Sine-wave analysis measures harmonic distortion, which is a critical element in determining the sonic accuracy of the speaker. MLS, or maximum length sequence, analysis compares the noise output from the analyzer to the output of the speaker to determine the speaker’s im

GTi COMPETITION SPEAKER SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY: LOW-DISTORTION WOOFER Distortion – sound produced erroneously – is the enemy of great speaker performance. At its worst, distortion makes speakers sound broken. At more moderate levels, distortion clouds the midrange, making vocals sound muddy and obscuring the music’s detail. At JBL, we’ve had more practice than any other speaker company at eliminating distortion, and it shows. GTi competition speaker systems include the lowest-distortion woofers w

TWEETERS, WAVEGUIDES AND OPTIMAL 0° FREQUENCY RESPONSE 0 30° The dispersion pattern of the sound produced by a speaker is different at low –10 frequencies than at high frequencies. At frequencies with wavelengths greater 60° than the circumference of the speaker’s cone – the speaker’s piston range – the –20 sound is radiated in all directions. At higher frequencies, the dispersion pattern narrows. At frequencies for which the circumference of the speaker is about five –30 times the sound’s wave

THE DIRECTIVITY INDEX (DI): HOW WE MEASURE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ON-AXIS RESPONSE AND OFF-AXIS RESPONSE The Directivity Index (DI) is the ratio of the intensity of the sound in the listening window to the average of the intensity of the sound radiated at all angles (sound power). We make measurements of the speakers in two semicircular patterns along the horizontal and vertical axes of the speaker (Figure 7). With those measurements, we determine the size of the optimal listening window and

That’s a much closer match to the directivity of the woofer, which is focused into the listening window in the crossover region. The crossover region is also indicated in dark green in the frequency response plot in Figure 9. Tweeter Without Waveguide Directivity Index Tweeter With Waveguide

SYSTEM DESIGN USING THE GTi COMPETITION SPEAKER SYSTEMS. Many speaker systems are designed for on-axis listening and often include a listening window that’s ±30° from the speaker’s 0° axis. That’s great for home audio or other applications where speakers can be easily pointed at a single listener. In a car, however, the possible speaker mounting locations don’t always allow for on-axis placement even for a single listener. In many cases, on-axis placement for two listeners simply isn’t possib

WOOFER MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS • All woofers require a rigid baffle and isolation between the front and back of the speaker for best low-frequency extension. • The 660GTi woofer may be used in an infinite baffle or in a small sealed enclosure 3 with a volume equal to or larger than 1/8 ft. The 560GTi woofer may be used in an infinite baffle or in a small sealed enclosure with a volume equal to or larger 3 than 1/12 ft. • The GTi competition speaker systems include a choice of grille trim.
