THE ARCHITECTS.

The LS Series is the work of a team of talented engineers and designers led by Charles Sprinkle, JBL systems engineer, and Daniel Ashcraft, chief creative officer of Ashcraft Design.

A lifelong audio enthusiast with a particular interest in compression transducers and horns, Sprinkle worked as an engineering intern at Harman International prior to receiving his degree in 2003. And although he’s a relative JBL newcomer, he already has a number of innovative systems to his credit, including JBL Cinema Vision, Venue®, JBL Cinema Sound and JBL Control NOW. For the LS Series, Sprinkle developed an improved horn design and new low-frequency transducers to achieve his goal of acoustical integration.

Sprinkle worked closely with Daniel Ashcraft, who as head of his own design firm has played a key role in JBL industrial-design efforts for more than 20 years. A graduate of the Art Center College of Design, Ashcraft co-developed the legendary JBL Project Everest DD55000 system in 1986 and the original Project K2 S9500 in 1988, as well as their successors, the K2 S9800 in 2000 and the Everest DD66000 in 2006.

With the LS Series, Sprinkle and Ashcraft have succeeded in creating a visually stunning loudspeaker system with exceptionally lifelike, effortless sound.

LS Series specifications

The JBL LS Series is a remarkable line of loudspeakers that exemplifies the brand's commitment to blending cutting-edge technology with superior sound quality. With a rich heritage dating back to JBL’s founding in 1946, the LS Series continues to uphold the company’s reputation for delivering immersive audio experiences, suitable for both professional and home environments.

One of the standout features of the LS Series is its use of advanced Transducers. These specially designed drivers offer exceptional clarity and precision across the frequency spectrum. The series incorporates high-frequency compression drivers that produce pristine highs, while the low-frequency drivers ensure deep, powerful bass response. The combination allows for a balanced sound that accurately reproduces music as it was intended to be heard.

The LS Series also utilizes JBL's innovative Waveguide technology. This feature improves sound dispersion by ensuring a wide soundstage, allowing listeners to enjoy consistent audio quality regardless of their seating position. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in larger rooms or concert settings, where exact positioning can be more challenging.

Another critical aspect of the LS Series is its robust cabinet design. Constructed from high-quality materials, the cabinets are engineered to minimize resonance and vibration, which can interfere with sound quality. The elegant finishes available in the series also add an element of sophistication, making these loudspeakers aesthetically appealing for home décor.

Furthermore, the LS Series incorporates advanced crossover networks that efficiently manage the frequency distribution between drivers. This technology helps in achieving a seamless transition between high, mid, and low frequencies, resulting in natural audio reproduction and improved overall fidelity.

Additionally, the LS Series is designed with versatility in mind. It caters to a range of applications, from home theaters to high-fidelity music playback. With sound performance that can elevate any audio experience, these speakers are a fantastic choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

In summary, the JBL LS Series stands out for its exceptional sound quality, advanced technologies, and thoughtful design. From its powerful transducers and waveguide technology to its robust cabinet construction and versatile application, this series is a true testament to JBL's expertise in the audio industry. Whether for professional use or personal enjoyment, the LS Series is engineered to meet the demands of discerning listeners, making it an excellent addition to any sound setup.
