GT SERIES™ ENCLOSURES
For more than 60 years, JBL, Inc., has been
delivering products embodying the technology
developed in the professional arena – equipping
leading recording studios and movie theaters, as
well as live-music reinforcement in venues ranging
from clubs to Woodstock. This expertise continues to
drive products that provide the impact and excitement
of a live performance. The JBL®experience is for
enthusiasts who won’t settle for anything less than
“live” at home or on the go.
JBL GT5 enclosures deliver best-in-class performance
for those looking to add bump in the trunk. Three
loaded enclosures, the GT5-1202BP, GT5-1202BR and
GT5-2402BR, are available in the GT5 lineup.
PROGRESSIVE SPIDER
Each GT5 enclosure features a progressive spider,
which offers better control at the excursion limits
than the linear spider commonly used by competitors.
This progressive spider reduces distortion at high
output levels.
VENTED POLEPIECES
These provide additional cooling to the motor structure,
resulting in an increase in the subwoofers’ thermal
power-handling capability.
PROPRIETARY SLIPSTREAM
PORT TECHNOLOGY
The double-flared shape of the oversized port is
precisely calculated, efficiently eliminating port noise.
Even at high SPL, airflow through the port will remain
uniform, offering better low-frequency extension and
woofer protection.
INCREASED RELIABILITY
The vented polepieces and motor structure provide
additional cooling. In combination with the rubber-
coated tinsel leads, this results in much better long-
term reliability.
DUAL-STACKED OVERSIZED
MAGNETS
The increased magnetic flux results in higher efficiency
and better woofer control.
OVERSIZED PROTECTION
BARS
The ported models (GT5-1202BR and GT5-2402BR)
come with massive metal-bar grilles for a beefy look
and perfect woofer-cone protection.
OPTIMIZED BAND-PASS
TUNING
Unlike many inexpensive band-pass subwoofers, the
GT5-1202BP is able to reproduce even the lowest
bass frequencies thanks to a carefully tuned enclosure.
PROPRIETARY TERMINALS
The large terminals are designed exclusively for JBL
products and accept heavy-duty speaker wires.
