Introduction
The Creature is the latest innovation from JBL, a long time leader in the manufacture of high-end component and computer audio systems.
JBL’s audio heritage combined with continual research has provided the unique technologies included in the Creature.
The Harman Multimedia Odyssey Plus transducer is a unique full range transducer designed specifically for extremely small speaker
enclosures while providing significant mid bass. In addition to the bass, the small, rigid and light inverted aluminum cone provides performance
that will rival any tweeter used in multimedia speakers today. The result is a small and elegant satellite speaker that perfectly integrates with
the subwoofer while providing superior midrange and highs.
The Magnum series subwoofer transducer provides deep bass. This Magnum series of subwoofers are designed specifically to match with the
Harman Multimedia Odyssey Plus transducers. The same approach of providing solid bass from a small enclosure guided the development of
these Magnum transducers.
As described in the Using the speaker system section of the user’s guide, the bottom left and right corners of the control/right speaker feature
- and + buttons. Briefly touching the appropriate button will cause a small step increase or decrease in the system volume. Touching the
appropriate button for more than 0.5 seconds will cause the volume to increase or decrease rapidly while that button is touched.
Treble, Bass level adjust knobs are located on front of the subwoofer unit. A system on/off switch is also provided on the rear of the subwoofer
unit. The system includes two desktop speakers and a subwoofer that can be placed either on the floor or on your desk. Both satellite
speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically shielded to provide the greatest protection against computer monitor image distortion.
