JL Audio – Ahead Of The Curve
Founded in 1975 by James Birch and Lucio Proni, hence the name; JL Audio has since become synonymous with the design and manufacture of superb quality car, marine and home audio components. Though famous for its innovative subwoofer designs and unique subsonic methodology, the JL Audio stable has grown over the years to encompass everything from the speakers and subwoofers right through to processors, amplifiers and even combinations of the latter. In a nutshell, when talking audio and electronics there’s simply nothing JL Audio cannot accomplish.

C3 Series - For The Consummate Music Enthusiast
Middle level in name alone, JL Audio's superb C3 series are for those who desire not only superb control but also volume aplenty! The impressive range offers the ultimate balance between precise aural reproduction and forceful kinetic output. JL Audio engineers have combined superb quality materials from higher ranges with advanced no holds barred design architecture to provide audiophile level parameters in conjunction with serious sound pressure output levels. The C3 range are the ultimate speakers for those who want the absolute best of both worlds!

Design Ideologies
JL Audio’s superb C3 convertible speakers are all about outstanding audio performance with maximum versatility. There are times when an installation calls for a separate woofer and tweeter, and there are other times when a coaxial is the better approach. With C3 convertible component Systems, the same product can be deployed in either configuration. Delivering amazing sound quality in each application.

Overall Superiority
The C3 components deploy JL Audio’s full suite of technology advancements to deliver unsurpassed value, performance and reliability. An advanced woofer frame design takes advantage of glass-reinforced polymer to permit better engineering of attachment points, leading to superior suspension geometry and lead wire management. Long woofer excursion capability with DMA-optimized performance delivers superb mid-bass and clean mid-range output, while the powerful 1-inch (25 mm) silk dome tweeter delivers brilliant high-frequency performance. Rounding out each package is a purpose-engineered, adjustable passive crossover network. Compare the C3’s to any other component speaker system in their price class, and you will hear the results of all that technology.

The Technology Within
JL Audio’s engineering department is at the forefront of research into fundamental loudspeaker behavior. We have developed proprietary analysis systems and invested heavily in state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing. This has borne numerous products widely considered as reference standards and has also resulted in many U.S. and International Patents issued for technologies that refine and extend the audio performance envelope.

Convertible Drivers – Coaxial Or Component
Sometimes a coaxial is the best solution, and sometimes you need to mount the tweeter separately. It’s great to have complete flexibility.

Dynamic Motor Analysis
JL Audio’s proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system is a powerful suite of FEA-based modeling systems, first developed by JL Audio in 1997 and refined over the years to scientifically address the issue of speaker motor linearity. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients. Or put simply; tight, clean and articulate bass.

Crafted Soft Dome
A specially engineered damping compound is applied to the silk domes of the tweeters, adding rigidity and damping. This greatly improves the clarity and bandwidth of the drivers. The silk diaphragm exhibits controlled cancelling break up, conducive to an extremely smooth overall frequency response and lightning fast high-frequency accuracy.

Elevated Frame Cooling
JL Audio’s patented Elevated Frame Cooling design delivers cool air through slots directly above the top-plate to the voice coil of the speaker. This not only enhances power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression.

Design Features
JL Audio’s engineering is beyond reproach. The impressive amount of technologies it injects into every single component design is astounding. Hence let’s delve further into but a handful:
– Long excursion woofer design.
– DMA-optimized for better bass response and output capability.
– Oversized 1.2″ / 30.5 mm woofer voice coils for superior power handling, less distortion and better overall fidelity at high levels.
– Non-magnetic, composite basket is extremely tough and will never corrode.
– Elevated Frame Cooling™ improves power handling and sound quality by minimizing heat build-up in the woofer motor.
– 1″ / 25.4 mm pure silk dome tweeters.
– Much smoother and cleaner sounding than typical plastic tweeters.
– Can deliver excellent highs and imaging, even at low mounting positions.
– Includes flush, surface or coaxial mounting options.
– Premium outboard crossovers.
– True two-way crossover design using premium components.
– 1st order low-pass filter and 2nd order high-pass filter architectures.
– Three position midrange compensation for optimization of coaxial or separate tweeter mounting.
– Four position tweeter level to set the brightness of the system according to mounting location or listener tastes.
