jbl spot

powered satellite speakers and subwoofer
JBL introduces a new idea in multimedia sound: audience participation. JBL Spot is a powerful, compact 2.1channel multimedia sound system that comes with interchangeable black and white outer covers. But an eyeopening array of optional covers in other colors and patterns is available (JBL Wrappers). Be bold or subtle. Go retro or avant-garde. Match your room or your mood. The choice is yours and you can always change your mind later. The only thing about JBL Spot that doesnt change is the sound. Thats perfect right out of the box. Compatibility A stereo mini jack easily connects JBL Spot to a variety of multimedia devices with a minimum of desktop wiring. Enjoy high-quality audio from desktop and laptop computers (any platform), iPod and other MP3 players, satellite radio, game consoles you name it. Easy-to-Use Touch Controls One touch increases or decreases the volume; one touch mutes or unmutes the system. A single control lets you adjust subwoofer output. And JBL Spot remembers your previous settings every time the system is powered on. Advanced Technology JBL Spot owes its clear, accurate sound and outstanding performance characteristics to proprietary JBL technologies developed specifically for the realities of multimedia sound. Odyssey transducers Aluminum-domed transducers driven by powerful neodymium magnets deliver rich high- and mid-frequency response. They may be small, but they definitely kick. Atlas subwoofer A large-excursion subwoofer driven by dual neodymium magnets pounds out clean, distortion-free bass. MAPS (Minimum Audio Parameter Shift) Volume is good, but the distortion that plagues small speakers at high volume is bad. MAPS suppresses distortion, even at the highest output levels. COE (Computer-Optimized Equalization) Proper equalization greatly improves stereo imaging. The JBL Spot system is computer-optimized to provide a rich, complete soundstage. OCT (Optimized Compression Topology) A proprietary compression technology ensures clean, accurate sound at high output levels. Detailed Technical Specifications Manufacturer: JBL, Inc.

Autumn Brings Color for JBL Spot 2.1. Exquisite Covers for the Stereo PnP Audio System
There goes your own style with the new look of your sound

The JBL Spot JBL

When the JBL Spot system first came out, people were quite amazed by the looks of this very uncanny 2.1 sound machine: it looked like almost nothing else before it even though it breathed retro styling and serious audio quality. And so it was: the Spot from legendary manufacturer JBL was a combination of most serious sound technology wrapped in a shape that offered both functionality (the rounded cabinets are the best way to deal with vibrations and stationary waves) and a sound that was simply impressive for a 2.1 system that scale. Another strong point for the JBL Spot was the fact that it could be connected to absolutely anything that had a stereo [img=2]mini jack plug: PC or Mac, MP3 players, CD or MD units, game console or even portable DVD players and thus there was one piece of tech made for everybody, regardless of their gear. Even more, for style purposes the connection cables were covered in cloth, much like the vintage ones.Yet the coolest thing about the JBL Spot was a unique feature that allowed the owner to change the way this system looked: both subwoofer and satellites had interchangeable black or white covers that could be switched in just seconds and [img=3]made your gear look radically different in an instant. This autumn brings a serious expansion for this issue: a set of completely new, artful covers that will dramatically re-shape the way your interior looks - the sound of the JBL Spot remains the same.We're talking 7 new "flavors" for your audio system: Woodland, Graffiti, Janna Black Floral, Corporate, Purple-Gold Flower, Fuchsia and Black Tattoo, one more exquisite and nifty than the others. No matter how modern or retro could your home dcor be, you'll doubtlessly find at least one cover set to match it, JBL almost guarantees this. The new "flavors" of the JBL Spot are reportedly in stores already, but no official pricing was offered.
