Speaker Placement
JBL’s SVA Series takes advan-
tage of our latest technology
to deliver incredibly clean,
detailed sound. Incorporating
JBL’s Symmetrical Vertical
Array™ and exclusive
Bi-Radial® horn, these loud-
speakers deliver sound that is
distributed over a wide sound-
stage with pinpoint imaging.
Because the horn should be
directed at ear level in order
to maximize the imaging
characteristics, JBL developed
an exclusive cast-aluminum
adjustable spike foot that can
be adjusted while the speaker
is in position. The Bi-Radial
horn design – which greatly
reduces room reverberation –
along with video-shielding,
allows greater placement flex-
ibility within the room. Ultra-
wide frequency response and
high power handling combine
to give you clear, powerful
sound that you get only
from genuine JBL. The SVA
loudspeakers are perfect
for today’s Dolby* Digital
recordings.
The SVA Center is designed
to complement any of the
SVA Series loudspeakers.
It is the perfect addition for
re-creating the cinematic
experience in your home.
