The JFX290 is a 2-way multi-purpose loudspeaker. Its multi-
functional design adds considerably to its value as a full-
range loudspeaker. Combining high output and natural repro-
duction, it is specifically outfitted to serve in a variety of
both portable and permanent applications. The asymmetric
enclosure provides typical angles needed for ceiling and wall
mounting as well as for stage monitor operation. For perma-
nent installation, enclosure hardware includes mounting
points for an Omnimount® Series 300 or similar bracket and
fly track for suspension. Provisions for portable use include a
pole mount cup, top/bottom fly track for rigging, and handles
integral to the enclosure that facilitate handling and trans-
port. The JFX290 is particularly suitable as a near field main
loudspeaker or as a fill/delay element in larger systems.
While the JFX290 is well suited as is for many applications,
the addition of a subwoofer expands its capabilities for more
demanding applications such as for houses of worship, theaters,
and band PA. Six year warranty.
