ENGINEERING
1400 Array
Project Array draws on more
than half a century of
innovative JBL engineering
Aluminum compression driver
The neodymium motor and edge-wound voice
coil of Kapton ® -encapsulated aluminum wire
drive a 75mm (3") Aquaplas-treated aluminum
dome mounted in a rigid, constant-directivity
horn. This is the secret behind the three-
dimensional imaging of JBL Project Array.
Titanium super tweeter
The edge-wound voice coil attached directly
to a 25mm (1") titanium diaphragm and driven
by a 50mm (2") neodymium motor assembly
delivers uniform response out to 40kHz. The
vertical SonoGlass constant directivity horn
maintains an optimum dispersion pattern of
60 degrees x 30 degrees.
Classic JBL bass drivers
The Project Array woofers are all based on
acclaimed JBL Professional bass drivers.
They employ massive ferrite motor assem-
blies, edge-wound copper voice coils and
durable rubber surrounds to drive an essen-
tially inert Aquaplas-coated pulp-cone assem-
bly. Built to play loud and long, they proudly
reflect their professional heritage.

Unique enclosure
The trapezoidal low-frequency internal enclo-
sure is constructed of heavily braced 1-1/2"
MDF. A raised-top cavity minimizes diffraction
from the exposed high-frequency horn. Brass
spikes couple the external enclosure to the
floor. Project Array lives up to JBL's long-
standing reputation for rugged construction.
All Array loudspeakers are available in the
same rich, luxurious black zebrawood finish
as the K2 S9800 Special Edition.
Seamless system integration
Project Array crossovers use 4th-order
acoustic transitions, ultralow-loss inductors
and polypropylene capacitors. The high and
ultrahigh crossover sections are isolated on
a separate board in a different section of the
enclosure to minimize crosstalk with the
low-frequency crossover.
