THE MUSIC THAT BRINGS YOU TO YOUR FEET IN

THE WORLD’S LEADING CONCERT VENUES?

It’s a joint production of your favorite bands and their favorite audio brand. From the

Royal Albert Hall to the Grand Ole Opry and all the best-known halls, stadiums and amphitheaters in between, JBL

®

has been the recognized authority in the amplification of live music for more than 60 years. But when the concerts are over and the equipment packed up, JBL brings the excitement home.

JBL Performance

™

Series home theater and music systems utilize technologies, materials and engineering that duplicate professional-performance characteristics, letting you enjoy them day in and day out. With a variety of in-wall, on-wall and traditional loudspeakers, not to mention advanced electronics components, distortion-free, arena-quality JBL sound now fits into your life – and your living space – as never before.

YOUR HOME, THE ARENA.

MOVIES AND MUSIC AS YOU’VE NEVER HEARD

THEM AT HOME.

Individual tastes in movies and music vary widely, of course. But critical listeners demand a consistently high level of sonic accuracy, whatever the program material and wherever they listen. Rock or jazz, thrillers or love stories, in large rooms or small – even outdoors – JBL Performance Series components are designed and manufactured to deliver uncompromised, full-spectrum sound anywhere in your home. Choose systems with unobtrusive built-in loudspeakers that outperform many high-end traditional systems. Or choose hybrid systems that match in-wall surrounds to shelf- or wall-mounted front-channel monitors. Or design your own home theater or distributed-music system from more than 30 different speaker configurations. Performance Series systems are designed to satisfy your passion for movies and music, as well as to accommodate where and how you live.

AV1

7.1-Channel Surround Processor/System Controller

The

SOFTWARE-UPGRADEABLE,

HDTV-compatible AV1 speaks THX ® and THX Ultra2 , DTS-ES ® and Neo:6 ® , and Dolby ® DPL, DPL II and EX, not to mention

JBL’S EXCLUSIVE LOGIC 7 ®

PROCESSING,

which can create discrete multichannel sound from two-channel sources. And with eight analog audio inputs, four coaxial and four optical digital audio inputs, five S-video, five composite and three component video inputs, it plays well with others.

With

7

X

120 WATTS OF POWER,

the AVA7 delivers superb sonic performance, and

INTERFACES DIRECTLY

WITH THE AV1,

enabling superior remote control. It’s also vented from the rear and the sides, rather than the top, for direct stacking above or below the AV1.

AVA7

7-Channel Power Amplifier

THE POWER TO PERFORM.

To appreciate the full impact of today’s most popular digital media – to achieve the highest possible resolution and fidelity – takes versatility, connectivity and more than a little raw power from your system’s electronics. The state-of-the-art electronic components of the Performance Series deliver brilliantly on all counts.

The

JBL PERFORMANCE AVA7

seven-channel power amplifier uses forced-air cooling to ensure the highest level of performance, durability and longevity, even under extended high-power-output demands.

BETTER IN-WALL

PERFORMANCE

These scanning laser vibrometer images compare wall-panel resonances with and without JBL’s Baffle

Isolation System .

™

Note: More extreme colors indicate increased vibration.

EASY

INTEGRATION

Front-panel controls provide convenient access to speaker finetuning for personal preferences, integration with other speakers, and placement considerations.

ADJUST,

COMPENSATE,

CONTROL

Precisely tailor bass compensation, high-end level and output, and off-axis frequency response to the acoustic characteristics of your listening area.

THE INSIDE INFORMATION.

FORCED-AIR

COOLING

Two variable-velocity fans pull cool air from the back of the

AVA7 chassis, over the unit’s heatsinks and out the sides.

OPTIMAL

OPERATING

CONDITIONS

Continuous tracking of the input signal strength and the amplifier temperature determines optimal airflow, which increases durability and longevity.

SIDE-VENTED

Because the AVA7 is vented from the sides, it can be stacked directly on or under the AVA1.

ELLIPTICAL OBLATE

SPHEROIDAL

™

(EOS)

WAVEGUIDES

TITANIUM

TWEETERS

First developed for JBL

Professional LSR studio monitors, they evenly disperse high frequencies over a wider area, for better imaging anywhere in the listening area.

Driven by powerful neodymium magnets, these lightweight domes are slavishly literal to the highest frequency sounds, and fast enough to reproduce them effortlessly.

TITANIUM

INVERTED-DOME

MIDRANGE

DRIVERS

Precisely driven from their centers, they deliver nearly perfect pistonic motion for flat frequency response well beyond the crossover point.

STRAIGHT-LINE

SIGNAL PATH

™

(SSP) NETWORKS

This crossover design provides the shortest route from the input terminals to the transducers.

Minimizes signal loss and noise.

BENEFIT:

Ensures that a strong, precise signal arrives at each driver.

INVERTED-DOME

WOOFERS

Pure, undistorted bass even at the highest listening levels, enabled by rigid castaluminum frames that are sonically neutral.

FREEFLOW™-PORT

ARCHITECTURE

Couples internal air motion to a computer-designed aperture that allows for maximum air flow without audible “port noise,” extending bass response.
