JBL SYNTHESIS® ONE ARRAY™

Designed for listening rooms of up to 20,000 cubic feet.

Producing rarefied power and unequaled realism that surpasses the highest expectations of the world's most demanding listeners, the Synthesis® One Array™ system pairs the dual 8-inch SAM2LF with the 3-inch compression driver/constant directivity horn of the SAM1HF. This means a bi-amplified speaker system capable of frequencies from 80Hz to 40kHz from the four S1A dipole ambient surrounds and two S1S-EX 18-inch, 800-watt subwoofers.

The Synthesis One Array sets new standards of technological innovation and manufacturing quality, and delivers an unequaled listening experience.
