HOME THEATRE

The impact of each film depends as much, if not more, on the quality of the sound heard as the quality of the images seen. Crisp, articulate dialogue. Thunderous special effects. Sweeping dramatic music. And all presented to the home theatre system exactly as it is to a full size cinema system. The voicing of all the loudspeakers must be identical for a seamless envelope of sound to surround the listener. Their dynamic capabilities must also be matched and be sufficient to relay the excitement, tension and atmosphere where required.

211 >

The 211 active sub-woofer features a downward firing 254mm bass driver in a sealed and braced, infinite baffle cabinet. This gives faster, deeper and more accurate bass. The integral 150 Watt BASH™ amplifier features full adjustment of filtering, output level and a phase reversal switch to allow for seamless integration with the main loudspeakers. A switchable LFE/Filtered line level input facilitates connection to all current AV processors.

212 >

The massively constructed 212 active sub-woofer features a downward firing 380mm bass driver in a sealed and braced, infinite baffle cabinet. The driver is powered by a 300 Watt BASH™ amplifier, which allows remote controlled adjustment of filtering and output level from the listening position. Switchable LFE/Filtered line level inputs or high level inputs facilitate connection to all current AV processors.

200C >

A single model 200 configured for horizontal use. This shielded, centre channel speaker shares identical voicing with the 200's and therefore allows a compact and affordable home theatre or multi media package to be realised.

Specifications:

Sensitivity		89dB/Watt
Impedance		6 Ohms
Drive units	Bass Mid Treble	100mm Glass Fibre - 25mm Fabric Dome
Dimensions (HxWxD) mm		127x235x172
Power Handling		60 Watts
Frequency range		68Hz-22KHz
Weight		2.6Kg

201C >

A single 201 configured for horizontal use. This shielded, centre channel speaker shares identical voicing with the rest of the range and provides a discreet high performance solution where a full width centre speaker is inappropriate.

Specifications:

Sensitivity		90dB/Watt
Impedance		6 Ohms
Drive units	Bass Mid Treble	100mm Glass Fibre - 25mm Fabric Dome
Dimensions (HxWxD) mm		154x262x243

208 >

Carefully voiced to perfectly match the tonal and dynamic quality of the entire range, the 208 centre channel features twin, 130mm, shielded glass fibre drivers and the same soft dome tweeter. This allows consistent moving images to be tracked precisely across the screen from side to side while allowing the full intimacy, anger, passion or humour of any dialogue to be experienced in a vivid and personal way.

Specifications:

Sensitivity		91dB/Watt
Impedance		6 Ohms
Drive units	Bass Mid Treble	130mmx2 Glass Fibre - 25mm Fabric Dome
Dimensions (HxWxD) mm		177x460x230

209 >

Surround sound decoders provide ambient surround effects to the rear channels. The speaker used to replay this information should not in themselves be obvious sources of sound. Dipolar and bipolar loudspeakers deliberately disperse the sound such that it isn't easy to locate the sound source.

In a Dipolar loudspeaker the two sets of speakers are out-of-phase with each other, i.e. the drivers on one side push as the other side are pulling. There is then a 'dead zone' of sound in the area directly along a line at 90 degrees to the speaker - sonically highly desirable, as it surrounds the listener, yet the source of the sound is undetectable. If they can be set up on either side of the listening position the dipolar configuration will give very open rear effects imaging without the speakers drawing attention to themselves.

In a Bipolar loudspeaker the two sets of speakers are in phase with each other, both sides pushing air at the same time and giving a slightly greater output where the Dipolar speaker's dead zone would be. In fact, a bipolar speaker disperses sound through almost 360 degrees, which helps if the surround speakers are to be used behind (or anywhere other than level with) the listening position. 

The new JPW surround speakers are switchable between Dipole and Bipole operation.

Based on the drivers, configuration and voicing of the 201, the 209 surround speaker is switchable between dipolar and bipolar operation. In either mode it gives a diffuse but tonally even and extremely dynamic presentation of surround effects.

Sensitivity		89dB/Watt

A larger design, again switchable between dipolar and bipolar operation, the 210 is based on the driver configuration and voicing of the 202. twin 165mm glass fibre drivers and twin fabric dome tweeters in each speaker give the 210 tremendous dynamic capability and result in a spacious and exceptionally detailed surround performance worthy of the very best home theatre system.
