The history of JBL Cinema Speakers is the history of cinema itself. When a company has a legacy nearly eight decades long, there’s little doubt that its ear is planted firmly on the ground. In fact, its namesake and founder James B. Lansing began his company building the world’s first cinema speakers. That commitment to the core components of cinema speaker design is why, today, JBL Cinema speakers are found in 6 out of 10 movie theatres around the world. JBL has consistently set the bar on just how good the movies can sound. That’s why the majority of Dolby equipped cinemas worldwide use JBL loudspeakers. It’s also why Lucasfilm engineers chose JBL loudspeakers as the standard with which the first THX licensed commercial theatres were developed. Unparalleled in experience, technical leadership and customer support: a few reasons why, today, JBL speakers also grace the stages of the most coveted theatrical venues, such as The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Samuel Goldwyn Theatre, The Directors Guild of America and The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Today’s premier large format and 3D cinemas require perfect coverage in every seat of the auditorium, wide dynamic range and extended bandwidth, as well as inaudible levels of distortion. Digital soundtracks require sound systems for premier auditoriums that can accurately reproduce the sound exactly as recorded.

These JBL Cinema Sound Systems are designed for biamplified applications as well as systems with built-in passive crossover networks. The passive cinema systems feature new low frequency transducer technology utilizing a newly designed magnetic structure that reduces both second and third order harmonic distortion. A new copper shorting ring allows this driver to provide more constant power response which allows the low frequency cabinets to deliver equal "energy" into the listening space at all frequencies. Those systems designed for bi-amplified applications incorporate JBL's exclusive Vented Gap Cooling (VGC™) woofers which significantly reduces the operating temperature of the voice coil, thereby delivering maximum peak impact with minimal power compression.
