JBL has released the L52 Classic bookshelf loudspeakers, the smallest member of the Iconic JBL Classic Series built to deliver big sound.

Following on the heels of the larger L100 Classic and L82 Classic models, the compact L52 Classic boasts a size that allows it to work in a variety of applications from stand-mount, to bookshelf, to tabletop, to wall-mount.

“The L52 Classic is such a compelling proposition with its big sound, small size and attractive pricing”, Harman’s Luxury Audio senior director of product strategy and planning Jim Garrett says.

“For the music lover, you get a phenomenal sounding loudspeaker with a premium design and the legacy of 75 years of JBL as the guarantee of high performance and quality for years of listening pleasure.”

The appearance of the L52 Classic echoes that of its larger siblings with a walnut wood veneer enclosure and a Quadrex foam grille available in a choice of black, blue or orange.

Designed as a scaled-down version of the award-winning L82 Classic, the L52 Classic is a two-way design utilizing a 0.75” titanium dome tweeter mated to an acoustic lens waveguide and a 5.25” white cone, cast-frame woofer. A premium crossover network design ensures optimum system performance while a front panel HF level attenuator allows the sound to be tailored to its environment.

Enclosure tuning is bass-reflex via a front-firing tuned port and a set of binding post speaker terminals provide a secure connection to speaker cables. The enclosure is finished in walnut wood veneer and includes a pair of threaded inserts on the rear panel for use with third-party wall mount brackets.
