The JBL Cinema 500 speaker system is among the smallest and most stylish systems that JBL has produced.

“JBL speakers have been used by Hollywood since film was first partnered with sound,” says Australian JBL distributor Convoy International chief executive Geoff Matthews.

“The new compact Cinema 500 speaker system showcases the same technology and expertise that made JBL famous in a way that can be experienced in the comfort of your own home.”

The complete 5.1 home theatre package packs power as much as it does clarity, enveloping listeners with distinct dialogue, crisp, accurate music, and deep floor-rumbling bass that is easy and non-intimidating to set up in every living room.

Every component in the package is engineered and designed to work as a fully integrated system for optimal performance. The four identical satellites are voice-matched to the centre for consistent sound from speaker to speaker, creating a more realistic 360-degree surround-sound field throughout the room. Two PolyPlas cones and a Titanium-laminate tweeter are employed in each of the main, centre and surround channel speakers, and all feature 100W power handling coupled with high sensitivity for easy partnering with a wide range of AV receivers.

Perfect for rendering realistic low-frequency effects and the excitement of deep bass, the Cinema 500 also features a 150W powered subwoofer with a reinforced, long-throw 200mm woofer. The down-firing design of the driver enables the subwoofer to interact with the floor rather than nearby walls for easy placement and more even bass response.
