 JBL Synthesis has introduced its SK2-3300 LCR loudspeaker, incorporating driver technologies directly derived from the company’s flagship Project Everest DD66000 speaker to deliver exceptional musical accuracy and fidelity in custom-installation multichannel home theaters and music systems. The 3-way, THX® Ultra2-certified SK2-3300 utilizes JBL’s most sophisticated driver technologies. Compression drivers are used for the ultra-high and high frequencies for their superlative dynamic range, transient response and resolution. The ultra-high-frequency driver uses a 1-inch beryllium diaphragm to provide extended frequency response beyond 50kHz to reproduce movie soundtracks and recordings with an effortless sense of spaciousness and “air.” The driver is mated to a JBL Bi-Radial® horn that delivers 60 x 30 degree coverage. The SK2-3300 employs a 3-inch beryllium diaphragm midrange/high-frequency compression driver that operates in conjunction with a 100 x 60 Bi-Radial horn to deliver smooth, natural, richly detailed midrange and treble. The ultra-high-frequency and midrange/high-frequency horns are shaped to provide optimum dispersion both on- and off-axis, with a smooth tonal balance and precise imaging. The Bi-Radial horns are made from acoustically inert SonoGlass® material, which eliminates unwanted sonic colorations. The SK2-3300 utilizes dual 10-inch woofers with cones that are treated with proprietary JBL Aquaplas material, which damps the cone’s internal resonances for more accurate low-frequency response with lower distortion. The woofers incorporate dual 3-inch heavy-duty edge-wound voice coils, neodymium motor structures and cast-aluminum frames to deliver articulate bass even at higher volume levels. The loudspeaker features a heavily-braced enclosure that minimizes unwanted internal resonances; a curved front baffle to eliminate the “smearing” and colorations that can be caused by diffraction; dual binding posts that allow bi-wiring or bi-amping, and many additional refinements. “With the introduction of the SK2-3300, JBL Synthesis can now offer the extraordinary musical realism of the standard-setting Project Everest DD66000 in a loudspeaker that’s designed for custom installations,” stated Jim Garrett, Market Manager, HARMAN High  Performance A/V. “In addition to its suitability as the left, center and right channels of a multichannel speaker system, the SK2-3300 is also ideal for use as a companion center channel to the JBL Project Everest DD66000 and Project K2 S9900 loudspeakers.” HARMAN (www.harman.com <http://www.harman.com/> ) designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of audio and infotainment solutions for the automotive, consumer and professional markets – supported by 15 leading brands including AKG®, Harman Kardon®, Infinity®, JBL®, Lexicon® and Mark Levinson®. The Company is admired by audiophiles across multiple generations and supports leading professional entertainers and the venues where they perform. More than 20 million automobiles on the road today are equipped with HARMAN audio and infotainment systems. HARMAN has a workforce of about 11,000 people across the Americas, Europe and Asia, and reported sales of $3.2 billion for the last twelve months ended March 31, 2010.
