General Description
The JBL STUDIO 690DKWS is a high-performance passive floorstanding speaker belonging to the Studio 6 Series. Its Dark Wood version combines an elegant cabinet presence with an acoustic architecture designed for stereo and home theater systems. The 2.5-way configuration uses two 8-inch PolyPlas woofers to reproduce ample, dynamic bass, along with a 1-inch compression driver coupled to a High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide, a technology that promotes controlled dispersion, clarity, and detail in the high frequencies.
The bass-reflex system incorporates a rear-firing tuned port, which helps extend the bass response down to 36 Hz. Its frequency response reaches 40 kHz, with a sensitivity of 90 dB at 1 m and 2.83 V, and a nominal impedance of 6 ohms. JBL indicates a recommended amplifier power of up to 250 W, so the Studio 690 can be integrated with integrated amplifiers, stereo receivers, and AV systems with appropriate current delivery.
The magnetic-mount grille allows for a clean cabinet presentation, while the included spikes and foot pads help adapt the installation to carpeted floors or delicate surfaces. Each box contains an individual speaker, allowing you to purchase one unit as a center or surround channel, or two units to form a stereo pair of towers. As a passive speaker, it requires external amplification and compatible speaker cable.
