Pros: A 100mm deep on-wall speaker from JBL Professional with a 4.5” woofer and a 0.79” titanium dome tweeter, a 15 degree down tilt and wide 140 by 120 degree coverage, wired for 8 ohms or 70V and 100V systems, with a rain cover for outdoor use. JBL’s data shows a fairly even on-axis response (0.50 average deviation) and a preference score of 2.80 that reaches 6.05 with an ideal subwoofer, next to the Electro-Voice EVID-S5.2X.
Cons: Bass rolls off at 92.5Hz (-3dB) and about 67Hz (-10dB), so music needs a subwoofer. Output is limited to 102dB and sensitivity is 85dB. The measurements come from JBL and are low resolution.
