Product Description

Product Description
The Northridge E Series EC35 3-way center channel loudspeaker was custom-designed to superbly reproduce the human voice. Many movie soundtracks consist mainly of dialogue, so the center speaker shoulders the burden of filling a home theater. The EC35 easily handles the job. And it's video-shielded, so it can be placed on top of a television. The EC35 performs like a pro, with technology developed by JBL's Professional division. Equipped with JBL's tried-and-true titanium-laminate tweeters and PolyPlas drivers, the speaker reproduces dialogue with extreme clarity. The lows and mids, efficiently boosted by a 3-inch midrange and dual 5-1/4-inch woofers, and assisted by the FreeFlow flared port, are loud and clear, without unwanted distortion or boominess. The Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguide ensures that every seat is the best in the house. Since the transducers were purpose-designed to work together harmoniously, JBL's simple Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover network divides the signal with minimal processing (and minimal opportunity to degrade the signal). Dual sets of sturdy gold-plated, 5-way binding posts enable bi-amping or bi-wiring. With the high, midrange and low frequencies isolated, the EC35's four transducers can reproduce their frequency ranges more efficiently and with greater accuracy. The computer-designed, lock-mitred cabinet virtually eliminates distortion, and its slim European profile won't overpower your room.

5.0 out of 5 stars No complaints here - an excellent center channel speaker, February 20, 2007

By	Rodolphe Boulanger (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After being thoroughly impressed by my JBL Northridge E80 floorstanding speakers, I purchased this as my center-channel speaker (and added a pair of E10s as rears for surround). Before purchasing I went to a couple of audio stores to check the difference between the EC35 and the much cheaper (and slightly smaller) EC25. The EC35 is significantly better in both voice quality and clarity. The EC25 is a very good center, but until you try it side-by-side with the EC35, you don't know what you are missing.

It looks like JBL has discontinued the Northridge line and replaced it with the Venue series. Unfortunately there isn't a 3-way center channel speaker in this new series... just an updated version of the EC25.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Center Speaker, November 28, 2007

By	Jordan Hahn (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm very impressed with this speaker and couldn't recommend it more highly. It balances nicely with the rest of the Northridge E series, and outperforms the new center in the Venue series. I just have no idea why the picture is entirely wrong. I'll upload one of mine.
