JBL L100 Classic

In 1970, JBL released the iconic L100 Loudspeaker.

Over the years, the L100 became the bestselling loudspeaker in JBL’s history.

In 2018, JBL are proud to bring you the JBL L100 Classic, a modern take on a time-honoured legend.

The Classic features vintage styling, including a retro-inspired design and iconic Quadrex foam grille, along with newly developed acoustic technology and designs for elite performance.

The 1-inch titanium dome tweeter is mated to a waveguide with an acoustic lens for optimum integration with the 5-inch pure-pulp cone midrange driver directly below it.

Powerful bass is provided by a 12-inch cast-frame, white pure-pulp cone woofer in a bass-reflex enclosure, tuned via a single front-firing port tube.

The high-frequency and mid-frequency L-pad attenuators on the front baffle preserve the classic features of this iconic legend.
