HIGHLIGHTS (All Models)
• Advanced carbon composite frames are nonmagnetic to transfer more energy to the voice coil and
nonresonant to improve sound quality.
• Light, stiff Plus One cones deliver more diaphragm area than other speakers in the class.
• Frequency response up to 21kHz means a bright, airy sound that opens up the listening space.
• Vented magnet assemblies keep the voice coil cool and reduce power compression over time.
• Three-ohm voice coils help compensate for added resistance in thin-gauge factory speaker wire.
• High sensitivity (91-94dB @ 2.83V/1m) means these speakers play loud even with moderate power.
• Modern cosmetics with high-tech grilles on many models where surface mounting is common.
HIGHLIGHTS (Coaxial Models)
• Edge-driven soft dome tweeter diaphragm delivers a rich detail of vocals and instruments in music and
handles power better than other designs. It also has specic dispersion characteristics intended for mounting
locations in a car.
• UniPivot
™
(patent no. 6,002,780) tweeter on 5-1/4" (130mm) and larger models aims the sound to the listener’s ears.
• 0 or +3dB adjustable tweeter level on 5-1/4" (130mm) and larger models to suit on- or off-axis placement.
• Mounting adapter rings included in 4" x 6" and 6-1/2" (165mm) models for increased install coverage.
HIGHLIGHTS (Component Separates)
• 3/4" (19mm) edge-driven soft dome tweeter for greater exibility in placement within the vehicle’s interior.
• Patented I-Mount
™
(patent no. 5,859,917) tweeter mounting system allows ush or surface mounting to blend
with the interior.
• Dedicated 12dB/octave passive crossover networks increase power handling and musical clarity.
SUMMARY
GTO speakers provide high-end performance at moderate pricing. JBL experts specically evaluate each model for
overall and vocal-range voicing, intermodulation distortion, and performance at the limits. GTO speakers are also tested
to strict carmaker reliability standards. Both of these are unique to the JBL development process, something most other
competitors never pursue.
