The JBL philosophy goes back to 1929, when James B. Lansing began building small loudspeakers for radios and phonographs. A new challenge soon interested him; Loudspeakers for movie theatres. "Talkies" had come of age and there was a need for loudspeakers that could fill the large movie houses with high quality sound. Lansing perfected techniques for milling flat wire and winding it on edge for superior voice coils. He also made vital contributions to compression driver technology, and many of this designs were forerunners of today's production models.
But even more important than any single advancement in technology, James B. Lansing established an approach that guides JBL to this day; Uncompromised engineering and manufacturing to deliver the best loudspeaker systems possible.
The L20T compact monitor, a two-way bookshelf system with a 6-1/2" low frequency transducer, offers extended frequency response, original dynamic range, and the reproduction of the full sound stage in the home. The L20T features JBL's acclaimed 1-inch titanium high frequency transducer (O35Ti) and polypropylene mid/low frequency transducer to deliver sound as it was intended to be heard. The sensitivity is 87 dB at 1 Watt/1 meter, and has continuous power rating of 100 Watts and dynamic power rating of 4-- Watts (peak IEC shaped noise). The L20T performance previously unavailable in such a small package.
