Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Value and Performance.

Let's start by saying that Balboa Series speakers are affordable, even for people whose disposable income mostly goes on things like food and rent. Now forget we ever mentioned anything about money, because the Balboa series uses materials and technologies developed directly from legendary JBL® professional loudspeakers and delivers the full dynamics of today's most exciting films and music. That's what's important. At least that's what's important once you know you can afford them.

The JBL Balboa 10- At a Glance.

¾" Titanium tweeter for crystal clear high frequencies

5" cellulose woofer for midrange and low frequencies

Speaker wire binding posts for the best possible connection

Slim, attractive cabinet

The titanium tweeter delivers accurate, detailed high frequencies

Proven Technology.

Crystal clear high frequencies

For the most detailed sound quality from your music or movies, the JBL® Balboa 10 bookshelf loudspeakers feature a ¾" titanium tweeter inside a proprietary waveguide. Titanium is the perfect material for reproducing high frequencies due to its strength and extreme lightweight. What you hear are accurate and detailed high frequencies not often found in a bookshelf speaker this affordable.

To make sure that listening to the JBL Balboa 10 bookshelf loudspeakers is a great experience anyplace where you happen to be listening in the room, they use proprietary waveguide around the tweeter. This waveguide ensures a wide dispersion of the high frequencies throughout the room while keeping them both accurate and natural-sounding. The result? A greatly expanded "sweet spot" for the most realistic sound experience possible.

A strong but lightweight woofer material produces accurate midrange and deep bass

Rich, full-range sound

Using a stiff, lightweight cellulose driver, the 5-inch low frequency transducer can deliver full range sound that is both smooth and natural. The Balboa 10 reproduces vocals with incredible accuracy for an inexpensive bookshelf speaker. And the strength and lightweight of the cone produces outstanding bass response that is incredibly deep for a bookshelf speaker its size and cost.

Compact Design.

The Balboa 10's have an attractive, elegant design that will fit the décor of nearly any room without taking up a bunch of space.

For more than 60 years, JBL has been delivering world-class listening experiences where ever great sound matters.

A Heritage of Excellence.

JBL® loudspeakers have been the overwhelming choice of music and movie professionals for more than 60 years, prized for their power, accuracy and dynamic range. JBL speakers are behind the screens of more than 50 percent of all movie theaters and hang in the rafters of premier concert venues worldwide. Chances are, many of your favorite songs and movie soundtracks were mixed and mastered on JBL studio monitors. But you don't have to be a professional to bring the legendary JBL sound home. We build exceptional home entertainment systems that incorporate many of the same advanced technologies, materials and manufacturing techniques originally developed for our professional systems.
