A true tower of power

JBL has been developing brilliant speaker technology for decades, and they integrated that knowledge into this big, beautiful speaker. The JBL HDI-3800 features three 8" woofers and a horn-loaded compression driver that can stand up to all the sound the woofers produce. And it comes in three gorgeous finishes that match just about any decor.

 Impressive compression driver

JBL uses horn-loaded compression drivers in speaker arrays for large concert venues — they fill space with clear sound in a way a standard dome tweeter can't. This same technology is used in the HDI-3800 floor-standers. That means you can enjoy for expansive, crystal-clear sound. The driver is recessed in a waveguide, which ensures that detailed high frequencies are dispersed across a wide seating area.

 A solid foundation for midrange and bass

Each speaker's three 8" woofers are lightweight, rigid Advanced Aluminum Matrix cones. They feature a long-throw voice coil for high output and low distortion, serving up midrange detail and deep bass. The drivers are housed in an elegantly rounded cabinet made from 3/4"-thick MDF and heavily braced to eliminate sound-muddying vibrations.
