As the a c k n o w l e d g e d master of sound reinforcement
in venues of all sizes, JBL has the necessary skills to cre­
ate optimized dedicated bass loudspeakers for music
a n d movies in the h o m e . The introduction of discrete
digital surround formats (Dolby Digital' a n d DTS j
w i t h separate L o w Frequency Effects channels a n d
the widespread use of digital music media (CD, Mini-
disc, etc.) place greater demands than ever before o n
the l o w frequency performance of h o m e entertain­
ment systems. JBL p o w e r e d subwoofers are designed
for natural, extended deep bass w i t h authority a n d
control.
Integral Deep Bass Systems
Because JBL p o w e r e d subwoofers incorporate cross­
over networks, drivers, p o w e r amplifiers a n d cabinets
engineered w i t h o n e single purpose in mind, optimal
reproduction of the lowest audible octaves, JBL sub­
woofers create a solid deep bass foundation that con­
tributes to the realism of your listening experience. In
addition, because your main loudspeakers a n d main
amplifier n o longer have to cope w i t h the prodigious
demands of the lowest frequencies, midrange clarity
Flexibility of Placement
Another major advantage of separate, dedicated bass
loudspeakers is that they allow y o u to optimize the
placement of y o u r main loudspeakers for the best pos­
sible focus a n d soundstage recteation, while posi­
tioning the subwoofer in the ideal location for clean,
extended bass response. JBL p o w e r e d subwoofers
include all the controls a n d adjustment options y o u
need in order to integrate seamlessly w i t h your main
loudspeakers a n d y o u r listening room.

A new dimension in low frequency
effects
The n e w PowerBass Series digitally powered subwoofers
are t w o high-performance subwoofers designed to deliv­
er unmatched low-frequency impact and sonic realism in
home-theater and music systems. The series is comprised
of the PBI2 112-inch driver 250 warts) and the PBIO
110-inch driver 150 watts), and incorporates a host of
advanced technologies to bring true theater-quality bass
performance right into the home.
The n e w PowerBass subwoofers deliver truly incredible
low-frequency performance and are ideally suited for
reproducing the LFE channel of Dolby* Digital and DTS
soundtracks.
The PB 12 and PB 10 both utilize JBL's exclusive Class-D
digital-amplifier technology, w h i c h operates in Class-D
mode a n d uses digital-switching amplifier technology
for exceptionally high power output w i t h high efficien­
cy and dramatically reduced distortion, even w h e n
reproducing no-holds-barred action-movie soundtracks
at high-volume listening levels. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
State of the art drivers
JBL PowerBass Series subwoofers employ the highest
quality drivers for clean, articulate, musically accurate
bass response. The woofer cones are composed of a
pure-cellulose-fiber material, a lightweight, stiff material
w i t h extremely fast response for a more realistic and
detailed rendering of ultralow frequencies. The voice-
coil magnets are vented for efficient heat dissipation,
increased power handling and accurate response even
during extended periods of high-volume operation. The
heavy-duty driver frames are constructed for high stabil­
ity under the most demanding conditions, and the
drivers are mounted in a down-firing, ported, rigid, non-
resonant enclosure that delivers maximum sound-pres­
sure level in a compact configuration.
