ADVANCED ENGINEERING MEETS EXQUISITE CRAFTSMANSHIP.
LS enclosures are more than just beautiful to look at: The wedge shape and gently curving side panels prevent unwanted
internal resonance. High-mass MDF construction minimizes sound coloration. A curved lower baffle prevents acoustic
interference with the lower woofer, while gracefully transitioning into the gloss-finish, streak-ebony side panels, which are
finished in a rich mahogany shade.

SHOUTS AND WHISPERS:
THE LS EXPERIENCE.
The ideal home audio system doesn’t favor music over movies, or small rooms over larger ones. The ideal home audio system has the raw power to
reproduce bass and midrange frequencies without any effort or distortion at any listening level, as well as the finesse to deliver brilliantly clean high-
and ultrahigh-frequency sound directly to your ears, undiminished by interaction with walls and furniture.
In the high frequencies, LS Series speakers employ a constant-directivity HF compression driver and UHF ring tweeter in a unique computer-optimized
baffle that suppresses phase interference and signal loss. The realism of low-frequency sound is heightened with high-performance dual pulp-cone
woofers in a staggered network design for exceptionally rich bass response. Working together, these technologies ensure that LS Series speakers
render “out-of-this-world” action sequences and delicate, otherworldly musical passages with equal clarity and accuracy.
Music and movies are made to be enjoyed, and LS Series speakers are engineered to ensure that you’ll enjoy them to their fullest, whatever your
taste in entertainment may be.

THE ARCHITECTS.
The LS Series is the work of a team of talented engineers and designers led by Charles Sprinkle, JBL systems engineer, and
Daniel Ashcraft, chief creative officer of Ashcraft Design.
A lifelong audio enthusiast with a particular interest in compression transducers and horns, Sprinkle worked as an engineering intern
at Harman International prior to receiving his degree in 2003. And although he’s a relative JBL newcomer, he already has a number of
innovative systems to his credit, including JBL Cinema Vision™, Venue®, JBL Cinema Sound and JBL Control NOW™. For the LS Series,
Sprinkle developed an improved horn design and new low-frequency transducers to achieve his goal of acoustical integration.
Sprinkle worked closely with Daniel Ashcraft, who as head of his own design firm has played a key role in JBL industrial-design
efforts for more than 20 years. A graduate of the Art Center College of Design, Ashcraft co-developed the legendary JBL Project
Everest DD55000 system in 1986 and the original Project K2 S9500 in 1988, as well as their successors, the K2 S9800 in 2000
and the Everest DD66000 in 2006.
With the LS Series, Sprinkle and Ashcraft have succeeded in creating a visually stunning loudspeaker system with exceptionally lifelike,
effortless sound.

* The maximum recommended amplifier power rating will ensure proper system headroom to
allow for occasional peaks. We do not recommend sustained operation at these maximum
power levels.
†
The Peak Dynamic Power is measured by recording the highest center-to-peak voltage
measured across the output of a resistive load equal to minimum impedance of the transducer,
using a 50Hz sine wave burst, 3 cycles on, 17 cycles off.
