No other manufacturer provides a wider, more cost-effective range of solutions to take on the demands of modern cinema sound reproduction than JBL Professional. With one of the longest track records in the industry JBL has manufactured some of the world's first true high-fidelity loudspeakers for cinema sound systems and JBL's legendary reputation for quality, reliability, and innovation - more than three quarters of all cinema loudspeakers sold worldwide come from JBL Professional.
JBL Professional offers three complete lines of enclosed cinema loudspeaker systems, along with discreet components and electronics, to meet the needs of any cinema application — from the smallest rooms to the most exotic custom installations, renovations and retrofits.
3000 Series
All products in the 3000 Series of cinema loudspeakers are designed, developed, and manufactured to offer cinema products with deliver the maximum possible performance for minimal cost. JBL Professional has used the concept of "value engineering" as a guiding principle. Intended for use in smaller cinemas, 3000 series will provide many years of outstanding service for rooms with less than 200 seats.

4000 Series
The 4000 Series of cinema loudspeakers meets the needs of sound designers and theater owners, delivering the finest sonic reproduction possible. These JBL Cinema Sound Systems are designed for bi-amplified applications as well as systems with built-in passive crossover networks. The passive cinema systems feature new low frequency transducer technology utilizing a newly designed magnetic structure that reduces both second and third order harmonic distortion. A new copper shorting ring allows this driver to provide more constant power response which allows the low frequency cabinets to deliver equal "energy" into the listening space at all frequencies. Those systems designed for bi-amplified applications incorporate JBL's exclusive Vented Gap Cooling (VGC™) woofers which significantly reduces the operating temperature of the voice coil, thereby delivering maximum peak impact with minimal power compression.
Today's Cinema patron demands perfect coverage in every seat of the auditorium, wide dynamic range and extended bandwidth, as well as inaudible levels of distortion. Digital soundtracks have the potential to push the traditional two-way screen channel speaker system beyond intended performance limits. This dictates the need for a new standard of loudspeaker performance for today's premier cinemas.

5000 Series
Digital soundtracks on today's feature films have the potential of pushing traditional two-way speaker system designs beyond their performance limits. Requirements for wide dynamic range, high power handling, and low distortion dictate the need for a new standard of performance for today's premier cinemas.
The 5000 Cinema Systems feature true three-way system design, with each section fully optimized for its specific frequency range. The 5000 Series Screen Channel systems are intended for tri-amplified use, utilizing JBL's DSC digital system controllers for crossover, signal alignment, and equalization. Factory pre-set tunings for these systems, stored in the system controller take the guesswork out of obtaining optimum performance.

Screen Array
The ScreenArray™ systems feature true three-way design enhanced by advanced engineering. JBL Professional's best technical innovations are integrated in a system design that provides superior coverage, maximum power handling, and uniform acoustic power output, along with extremely low distortion. The ScreenArray design provides ideal power response and directivity control with seamless transitions between acoustic sections.
The ScreenArray models are ideal for critical film sound reproduction in small to medium cinemas and studio production and post-production environments.
