A loudspeaker, or speaker, is an electromechanical transducer which converts an electrical signal into sound waves. The term loudspeaker is used to refer to both the device itself, and a complete system consisting of one or more loudspeaker drivers in an enclosure.
The loudspeaker is the most variable element in an audio system, and is responsible for marked audible differences between systems. Choose wisely; never be afraid to spend that little bit extra to gain that extra performance, as it will undoubtedly save you money in the long term.
Another thing to consider is “future proofing” your system. Allow for the system to be expandable by just adding another component such as a powered sub woofer at a later date. You shouldn’t have to replace the whole system to gain extra performance, just add to your system as you need to, which will save you money.
From the earliest days of concert sound such as Woodstock, to the modern Tour Sound "rigs", JBL remains the most popular loudspeaker of choice. In fact the world's four largest tour Sound companies use JBL components exclusively in their proprietary boxes. At the other end of the scale, the JBL EON is now the world's biggest selling "portable" speaker ever, with over ¼ million units in use by working musicians, DJ's and small AV rental companies world-wide (and used extensively for Woodstock 1999).
For over half a century, the JBL name has been synonymous with precise, naturally articulated sound in many of the world’s most prestigious locations. JBL Professional, the audio industry’s most recognised and respected brand name, offers the broadest possible product selection. That’s why, when it comes to fully integrated solutions to complex, site-specific acoustic challenges anywhere in the world, JBL professional is the choice.
