L5 Frame
Our proprietary design combines an aluminum frame, ¾" sheet of MDF (medium density fiberboard), a ½" sheet of ultra-dense HDF (high density fiberboard) and three high-loss damping sheets. This high-mass sandwich virtually eliminates excess vibrations, reducing energy transfer from the speaker to the ceiling. This reduces distortion, and improves impact and transient response.
Drive Units
Our Heavy Silk tweeter is the key to our system’s performance. This high power handling, broad dispersion drive unit spreads sound evenly throughout the room in an 80° radial pattern.
Our anodized aluminum bass unit stays pistonic throughout its operating range — for reduced distortion and truer reproduction.
TransientEdge® Crossover Topology
We’ve developed our own high power handling capacitors for improved speed and attack. Uniquely integrated into JM Series networks, you’ll hear greater resolution in the mid-bass, and more atmosphere in the high end.
Our exclusive Pi Space Tuning
overcomes “bloated” midbass gain when the speaker is placed near walls — a situation likely to occur when used as L/C/R’s.
Vocal Integrity® System Design
We’ve designed and tested our systems to exhibit the lowest level of distortion in the critical midrange — especially off axis. This requires attention to all elements of the design, from driver parameters to crossover tolerances. The end result is a series of speakers that outperform the field when used in theater applications.
Flush To The Ceiling
Our frame sits just 2mm off the ceiling, twice as shallow as the typical in-ceiling speaker. Combined with our flat micro-perf grilles, the speakers cast a minimal shadow, looking almost flush to the ceiling.  
Weather Resistant Construction
You can place 900 Series speakers in high humidity areas, like kitchens, bath, and protected outdoor settings. All exposed components are weather resistant.
Model JM65 Speaker with L5 Frame.
Distributed Audio Systems
JM Series speakers reproduce all the subtle details in music, and disperse the sound evenly throughout the listening environment.
Theater Systems
Vocal Integrity® system design allows use of these speakers as front L/C/R’s in theater systems. Smooth octave-to-octave transition means vocals are clear and distinct, on-screen effects are easy to pin-point. High power handling allows JM speakers to run full-range in theaters up to 4,500 ft3.
