JBL PROFESSIONAL SCREENARRAY™ CINEMA SOUND LOUDSPEAKER AWARDED THX‚ APPROVAL


JBL Professional continues to raise the bar in cinematic audio with the introduction of the JBL ScreenArray™ Series of cinema sound loudspeakers with optimum coverage, minimum distortion and shallow profile. Featuring new technologies such as Screen Spreading Compensation™ and Focused Coverage Technology™, the new ScreenArray from JBL provides a seamless and consistent audio reference from posthouse to neighborhood theater to stadium mega-plex.

Reaffirming JBL Professional's ongoing commitment to the highest standards of cinema sound reproduction, the company today announced that its JBL ScreenArray, highly advanced cinema sound speaker system, has received THX approval by Lucas Film THX. Two distinct versions of the three-way ScreenArray system; the JBL 4632 ScreenArray for medium to large cinema applications and the JBL 3632 ScreenArray for small to medium venues mean that this stunning new technology from JBL Professional can cover the entire spectrum of theaters throughout the world, fulfilling the promise of great sound in every seat.

The new ScreenArray systems from JBL Professional utilize a host of new sound technologies devised specifically for the ScreenArray. These include Screen Spreading Compensation (SSC™), a technology which automatically corrects the spread of high frequency information through perforated screens. Another is Focused Coverage Technology™, which provides the ScreenArray system with an asymmetrical coverage pattern 10 degrees down from horizontal for uniform sound in every seat in stadium-type seating configurations, along with a passive signal processing network to control the line array of mid-range sound elements.

In addition, ScreenArray systems feature second generation Optimized Aperture Waveguide technology for ultra-low distortion characteristics and extremely uniform frequency response across the systems' 30 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response range. 

Both the JBL 4632 ScreenArray and the JBL 3632 ScreenArray share all of the new technical advances and developments, with each system optimized for the demands of different size venues. The JBL 4632 has a rated maximum peak SPL of 135 dB with system power ratings of 800 watts for the low frequencies and 200 watts for the mid and high frequency section.

The JBL 3632 tailors these specifications for smaller venues with a maximum peak SPL rating of 129 dB, and 500 watts and 150 watts, respectively, for the low and mid/high frequency sections. The 4632 is 95.6 inches tall by 30 inches wide by 17.75 inches deep. The 3632 shares the shallow depth, and width, with a 76.3 inch height.

All ScreenArray systems are designed for simple installation in any theater environment, using a flat-front design for easy bafflewall installation, a shallow profile for minimum depth behind screens, and all systems are preassembled and pre-aimed for simple yet precise implementation.
