General Description
The JBL STUDIO 698DKWS is a high-performance passive floorstanding speaker and the most complete configuration model within the Studio 6 Series family. Its 3-way system utilizes two 8-inch PolyPlas transducers for low frequencies, a dedicated 6-inch PolyPlas midrange transducer, and a 1-inch JBL 2414H-1 compression driver. This driver works with the High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide, designed to favor detail, clarity, and controlled dispersion of high frequencies.
The dedicated midrange allows vocals, dialogue, and instruments to be reproduced from a specially assigned section, while the two 8-inch woofers focus on bass with scale and dynamics. The bass-reflex enclosure with a rear-tuned port extends low-frequency response down to 36 Hz. With a sensitivity of 90 dB at 1 m and 2.83 V, a nominal impedance of 6 ohms, and a recommended amplification of up to 250 W, the Studio 698 is ready for high-performance stereo amplification and compatible AV receivers.
The version identified by the SKU Studio 698DKWS corresponds to the individual sales presentation in a Dark Wood finish. Its cabinet incorporates a magnetic grille for a discreet appearance and is delivered with carpet spikes and foot pads. As a passive speaker, it requires an external amplifier or receiver, as well as speaker cable. To form a stereo pair of towers, two units are required.
