The 3-way, THX® Ultra2-certified SK2-3300 utilizes JBL’s most sophisticated driver technologies. Compression drivers are used for the ultra-high and high frequencies for their superlative dynamic range, transient response and resolution. The ultra-high-frequency driver uses a 1-inch beryllium diaphragm to provide extended frequency response beyond 50kHz to reproduce movie soundtracks and recordings with an effortless sense of spaciousness and “air.” The driver is mated to a JBL Bi-Radial® horn that delivers 60 x 30 degree coverage.
The SK2-3300 employs a 3-inch beryllium diaphragm midrange/high-frequency compression driver that operates in conjunction with a 100 x 60 Bi-Radial horn to deliver smooth, natural, richly detailed midrange and treble. The ultra-high-frequency and midrange/high-frequency horns are shaped to provide optimum dispersion both on- and off-axis, with a smooth tonal balance and precise imaging. The Bi-Radial horns are made from acoustically inert SonoGlass® material, which eliminates unwanted sonic colorations.
The SK2-3300 utilizes dual 10-inch woofers with cones that are treated with proprietary JBL Aquaplas material, which damps the cone’s internal resonances for more accurate low-frequency response with lower distortion. The woofers incorporate dual 3-inch heavy-duty edge-wound voice coils, neodymium motor structures and cast-aluminum frames to deliver articulate bass even at higher volume levels.
The loudspeaker features a heavily-braced enclosure that minimizes unwanted internal resonances; a curved front baffle to eliminate the “smearing” and colorations that can be caused by diffraction; dual binding posts that allow bi-wiring or bi-amping, and many additional refinements.
“With the introduction of the SK2-3300, JBL Synthesis can now offer the extraordinary musical realism of the standard-setting Project Everest DD66000 in a loudspeaker that’s designed for custom installations,” stated Jim Garrett, Market Manager, HARMAN High Performance A/V. “In addition to its suitability as the left, center and right channels of a multichannel speaker system, the SK2-3300 is also ideal for use as a companion center channel to the JBL Project Everest DD66000 and Project K2 S9900 loudspeakers.”
