[. . . ] But critical listeners demand a consistently high level of sonic accuracy, whatever the program material and wherever they listen. Rock or jazz, thrillers or love stories, in large rooms or small ­ even outdoors ­ JBL Performance Series components are designed and manufactured to deliver uncompromised, full-spectrum sound anywhere in your home. Choose systems with unobtrusive built-in loudspeakers that outperform many high-end traditional systems. Or choose hybrid systems that match in-wall surrounds to shelf- or wall-mounted front-channel monitors. [. . . ] Performance Series systems are designed to satisfy your passion for movies and music, as well as to accommodate where and how you live. The SOFTWARE-UPGRADEABLE, HDTV-compatible AV1 , , speaks THX® and THX Ultra2TM DTS-ES® and Neo:6® and Dolby® DPL, DPL II and EX, not to mention JBL'S EXCLUSIVE LOGIC 7® PROCESSING, which can create discrete multichannel sound from two-channel sources. And with eight analog audio inputs, four coaxial and four optical digital audio inputs, five S-video, five composite and three component video inputs, it plays well with others. AV1 7. 1-Channel Surround Processor/System Controller BETTER IN-WALL PERFORMANCE These scanning laser vibrometer images compare wall-panel resonances with and without JBL's Baffle Isolation SystemTM . Note: More extreme colors indicate increased vibration. With the Baffle Isolation SystemTM Without baffle isolation EASY INTEGRATION Front-panel controls provide convenient access to speaker finetuning for personal preferences, integration with other speakers, and placement considerations. ADJUST, COMPENSATE, CONTROL Precisely tailor bass compensation, high-end level and output, and off-axis frequency response to the acoustic characteristics of your listening area. With 7 X 120 WATTS OF POWER, the XPL140 delivers superb sonic performance, and INTERFACES DIRECTLY WITH THE AV1, enabling superior remote control. It's also vented from the rear and the sides, rather than the top, for direct stacking above or below the AV1. XPL140 7-Channel Power Amplifier THE POWER TO PERFORM. To appreciate the full impact of today's most popular digital media ­ to achieve the highest possible resolution and fidelity ­ takes versatility, connectivity and more than a little raw power from your system's electronics. The state-of-the-art electronic components of the Performance Series deliver brilliantly on all counts. The JBL PERFORMANCE XPL140 seven-channel power amplifier uses forced-air cooling to ensure the highest level of performance, durability and longevity, even under extended high-power-output demands. THE INSIDE INFORMATION. FORCED-AIR COOLING Two variable-velocity fans pull cool air from the back of the XPL140 chassis, over the unit's heatsinks and out the sides. OPTIMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS Continuous tracking of the input signal strength and the amplifier temperature determines optimal airflow, which increases durability and longevity. SIDE-VENTED Because the XPL140 is vented from the sides, it can be stacked directly on or under the AVA1. ELLIPTICAL OBLATE TITANIUM SPHEROIDALTM (EOS) TWEETERS WAVEGUIDES Driven by powerful neodymium First developed for JBL magnets, these lightweight Professional LSR studio monitors, domes are slavishly literal to they evenly disperse high frethe highest frequency sounds, quencies over a wider area, for and fast enough to reproduce better imaging anywhere in the them effortlessly. listening area. TITANIUM INVERTED-DOME MIDRANGE DRIVERS Precisely driven from their centers, they deliver nearly perfect pistonic motion for flat frequency response well beyond the crossover point. STRAIGHT-LINE SIGNAL PATHTM (SSP) NETWORKS This crossover design provides the shortest route from the input terminals to the transducers. BENEFIT: Ensures that a strong, precise signal arrives at each driver. INVERTED-DOME FREEFLOWTM-PORT WOOFERS ARCHITECTURE Pure, undistorted bass even at the highest listening levels, enabled by rigid castaluminum frames that are sonically neutral. Couples internal air motion to a computer-designed aperture that allows for maximum air flow without audible "port noise, " extending bass response. 6 7 IN-WALL SYSTEMS ON-WALL SYSTEMS EVERY ROOM A VENUE.
