The L26 was developed through the technology that made JBL the leading manufacturer of loudspeaker system for professional use. It meets the same stringent requirements as JBL studio monitors, providing clear, crisp reproduction, freedom from distortion and lack of coloration – all reasons most major recording groups insist on JBL professional loudspeakers for live performances as well as studio recording.

The L26 achieves the open, effortless performance that is characteristic of JBL loudspeaker systems. It even approaches, within just a few decibels, the thunderous volume levels required of JBL monitors in the recording studio. Each component of the L26 – low frequency loudspeaker, high frequency direct radiator frequency dividing network and enclosure – has been designed to function as part of the complete system, optimizing performance and efficiency without sacrificing definition orthe ability to accurately reproduce the fleeting bursts of sonic energy, known as transients, so essential to realism.

Like all JBL loudspeaker system, the L26 utilizes a ported enclosure to increase efficiency and dynamic range rather than a sealed “acoustic suspension” enclosure which achieves bass response at the expense of efficiency, dynamic range and transient reproduction. Efficiency is important for two reasons; it permits use of a relatively low power, moderately priced amplifier, and it allows the amplifier to operate at a lower power level, providing the reserve necessary to achieve full dynamic range and excellent transient reproduction. Efficiency and outstanding reproduction make the L26 ideal for the music listener wanting to combine superb performance with compact size.
