The flagship speaker of the Studio 6 line

 The JBL Studio 698 is the flagship floor-standing speaker of the company's impressive Studio 6 lineup. It features dual 8" PolyPlas® woofers in a double-ported enclosure for deep, powerful bass, plus a dedicated 6" midrange driver. High frequencies are handled by a 1" horn-loaded tweeter with HDI (High Definition Imaging) waveguide technology that delivers detailed sound across a wide listening area.

 We recommend giving this speaker high-current amplification from a quality power amp or integrated amplifier for best performance. Dual binding post speaker terminals allow bi-amping or bi-wiring.

 Built on JBL's storied audio heritage

 JBL famously pioneered horn-loaded compression drivers in speaker arrays at large concert venues — they're able to fill space with clear sound in a way a standard dome tweeter can't.

 The cornerstone of the Studio 6 Series' distinctive sound is JBL's 1" compression driver mated to a High-Definition Imaging (HDI) horn. The proprietary design helps this speaker deliver crystal-clear high frequencies throughout your room.
