Jbl Northridge E30 Views
The acclaimed JBL Northridge series of speakers is on our list of all-time favorites, and the E30 bookshelf speakers don't disappoint. Although the E30 is a small speaker, it uses the same components found throughout the Northridge series, such as the PolyPlas cone material that makes up the 6-inch woofer. The crystal-clear high end can be attributed to the 3/4-inch titanium laminate dome tweeter with a treble waveguide that disperses the high frequencies to create a larger listening area.
The speaker has a recommended power handling of 70 watts continuous and 280 watts peak, with a frequency response of 50Hz to 20,000Hz. The accurate sound avoids unnecessary electronics by using a straight-line crossover network fixed at 4,000Hz, and gold-plated five-way binding posts ensure a secure connection for heavy-gauge speaker wire. The bass-reflex cabinet has a FreeFlow port to reduce port turbulence noise. The JBL Northridge E30 speakers would make an incredible foundation for a home theater system, but they are also outstanding as a stereo pair for a music system.
These bookshelf speakers, like all Northridge E Series speakers, feature a titanium-laminate-dome tweeter, made from 75 percent titanium deposited on a lightweight substrate for high strength and rigidity along with excellent transient response, clarity, resolution and power-handling capability. Higher frequency sounds come through clean and clear, not distorted or tinny . The tweeter operates in conjunction with JBL's redesigned Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguide, which directs sound toward the listening area and away from the side walls for a wider sound field, which means even greater imaging. The difference made by the improved EOS waveguide is most noticeable in even more realistic surround sound effects with your favorite movies, and music recorded in exciting new multi-channel formats.
