JBL Studio L delivers studio quality music and theater quality movies right to your own living room

The JBL line of Studio L loudspeakers features many of the same design principles and technologies that make the JBL brand the only choice for today’s recording professionals. They have numerous mounting possibilities, and a high-end finish that comes in black or a stunning cherry. So let JBL Studio L speakers make your living room’s sound as incredible as that heard in a professional recording studio.

Mylar® Ultrahigh-Frequency Driver

The JBL L820s take sound into the high-definition world by incorporating an ultra-high frequency driver capable of reproducing frequencies out past 40 kHz. Why is this important? That’s the realm of high-definition audio and the frequency response of today’s high-resolution sources such as Blu-ray Disc.™ Made of Mylar, this UHF driver is loaded into a patented JBL Bi-Radial® horn so that high frequencies have a wide and uniform dispersion, which means smooth high-frequency sound over a large listening area. This is especially important from a loudspeaker that can be wall mounted like the L820. The bottom line is that the L820s will deliver a more realistic sound experience.

The Studio L820's ultra-high frequency driver is perfect for delivering stunning detail from today's high resolution sources such as Blu-ray Disc™

The Studio L820's titanium tweeter is both strong and light weight

Straight-Line Signal Path Networks

The most direct path for producing the cleanest, most accurate sound possible is in a straight line. JBL uses Straight-line Signal Path Networks in the L820s to ensure that the signal from the 5-way binding posts all the way through to the transducers is the most direct signal path possible. Add heavy-duty bypass capacitors and a 4-way crossover design not found in wall mounted, satellite loudspeakers, and the result is a clear, accurate signal no matter what the volume. So turn it up. The L820s are perfect for demanding music and movie soundtracks.

1-Inch Pure-Titanium Tweeter

When it comes to accurately reproducing all of the high frequencies from your favorite movie or the vocals from your favorite song, the L820s use technology straight from the recording studio. The JBL L820s feature a 1-inch pure-titanium-dome tweeter; titanium’s strength and light weight make it perfect for quickly and accurately reproducing high frequencies without strain or distortion. Titanium is the material of choice for many JBL professional music monitors, and the L820s are based on our professional models. And a patented JBL EOS waveguide ensures that high frequencies will have a wide and uniform dispersion, which results in smooth high-frequency sound over a large listening area. You’ll hear the detail in your music and movies as you’ve never heard it before.

The Studio L820 uses heavy duty capacitors and an audiophile grade crossovers

6-Inch PolyPlas™ Woofer

The JBL brand name is synonymous with bass so its important that the L820s deliver rich, deep bass even with their design and wall mount capabilities. The L820s use a patented JBL PolyPlas™ driver material for the woofer cones. PolyPlas material has both strength and a light weight, so bass is reproduced effortlessly and with maximum impact. To ensure maximum bass response, the L820s employ a rigid 6-inch woofer for the absolute lowest frequency extension. To make sure that the bass is not affected by any unwanted resonances, the L820s use a JBL IsoPower™ baffle design, and ultra- rigid enclosures. The result? Tight, accurate bass response that delivers a much more natural and realistic surround sound experience worthy of the world’s best recording studio and movie theaters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good!, December 13, 2008

By	Tracy "Baby Wise Mom" (Cleveland, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JBL L820 6-Inch 4-Way Wall-Mountable Bookshelf Loudspeakers (Pair, Black) (Electronics)

Got a new pair of these for $200.00 shipped.(Crazy Deal)I've got these as my L,R in a JBL6.1 set up. Build quality is top notch and the old knuckle rap on the back of these is solid with no resonance. Because these are sealed they are very quick and tight for music but are still able to dip down for very good mid bass in HT. You will be amazed at the clarity of the highs on these. I'm hearing subtleties and nuances in my music and movies that I've never heard before. I'm running an Outlaw Sub with these and they blend perfectly with my Yamaha receiver's crossover set at 80 Hz. Now that this line is a couple years old they are truly a steal when you factor in the price to performance ratio. These "are" wall mountable, a must for me as I have little ones, but do take the time and care to mount them properly as they are 20 lbs each. ( By the way, this is my wife's profile as I don't have my own set up yet)

5.0 out of 5 stars JBL Studio L820, October 19, 2009

This review is from: JBL L820 6-Inch 4-Way Wall-Mountable Bookshelf Loudspeakers (Pair, Black) (Electronics)

My theater room is 17 x 20 x 7 which makes it a decent size room. I was torn between buying these wall mounted speakers versus the tower models for fear the the L820's wouldn't be able to keep up. I am very suprized at how well these speakers fill up my room. I have four L820's for front left and right and surrounds. I also have the lc2 for center duties and the L8400 for sub duties.

With this setup I have all speakers wall mounted and all crossed over at 100 HZ. Honestly I don't hear anything missing in the mix. I hear the bass guitars full spectrum and snares and tom toms have alot of weight. These speakers four way design really sound awesome for critical listening. Voices, pianos, and guitars sound amazing.

I am completely satisfied with these speakers for a couple different reasons:
- Sound perfomance is amazing (especially for movies).
- Are wall mounted with all wiring in the wall/no speakers on the floor with unsightly cables.
- Powered them with a modest 50 watt harman kardon reciever. If you buy the towers you will have to shell out alot more money to buy and adequate reciever to power them.

With a proper positioning and proper calibration these speakers are an amazing deal for the money. There is always something better in every aspect of life, but seriously for the money I don't think there is a better deal.

Lastly I would like to add that Amazon has been nothing but a class act to work with and would encourage you to do business with them. You won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Midrange Speakers, January 11, 2008

By	B. Williams (Tucson AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: JBL L820 6-Inch 4-Way Wall-Mountable Bookshelf Loudspeakers (Pair, Black) (Electronics)

It's hard to buy speakers, retail stores have a limited selection and most of them sit on a shelf where it's hard to judge quality. In the passed 25 years speaker quality has improved greatly, good speakers used to be expensive, taking up a lot of space in a room.
These days there are dozens of compact systems for under $500. Usually you get what you pay for with speakers and the cheap ones are not worth having if you have a decent amp.
In 2007 JBL came out with a new line of speakers called the Studio Series. The L820s are part of this system. Compact and wall mountable they're as good as anything in their price range, and somewhat cheaper than the equivalent Bose models.
I have added a set of smaller surround sound JBLs with a sub woofer to get an excellent sound for music and TV. Having speakers off the ground like these wall mountable models offer makes a lot of difference.
Good speakers for the price.
