Equipped with Tweeters from Professional Monitor Speakers for High-Quality Sound

The "ARENA Series" adopts the latest horn technology developed by JBL for professional monitor speakers. This system achieves high acoustic performance with new technology, delivering a powerful and clear sound that fully enhances the enjoyment of music and movies. Its furniture-like, sophisticated design is based on acoustic engineering to maximize the performance of the units, allowing for not only music playback but also the construction of a full-fledged AV multi-channel system.

Active Subwoofer "SUB 100P BK"

Equipped with a high-sensitivity "HDI Horn Tweeter" that produces clear sound quality and balanced acoustics. All models in the "ARENA" series feature a 25mm "soft dome tweeter" known for its clear and supple sound quality, along with a waveguide horn utilizing HDI (High Definition Imaging) technology developed for the latest monitor speakers. Its wide and consistent directivity allows for natural immersion and balanced sound across a broad area.

Meanwhile, all models are equipped with "Fiber Composite Pulp Cone Woofers" for low frequencies. The "Fiber Composite Pulp Cone" accurately responds to input signals with minimal distortion, realizing JBL's signature dynamic and powerful low-frequency reproduction. It recreates a rich, three-dimensional sound space, bringing out the full appeal of high-quality digital audio sources.

By equipping all models with the same "HDI Horn Tweeter" (excluding the SUB 100P BK) and a "Fiber Composite Pulp Cone Woofer" with a common basic design, the tonal character across the entire series is unified, making it easy to handle even when building a first speaker system.

The "ARENA" series also features stylish cabinets that match various room aesthetics. These cabinets are acoustically superior, with rounded side panels to minimize sound distortion caused by reflections and wedge-shaped cabinets to prevent interference and vibration from sound waves, thereby maximizing speaker performance.
