JBL Professional Introduces FIR Tunings

HARMAN Professional Solutions announced its JBL Professional FIR tunings for select Control Contractor Series loudspeakers. 

The FIR filters optimise frequency response and phase response to a finer degree of precision than has typically been possible with standard IIR “parameter-based” filters. Additionally, these FIR filters were designed to meet JBL Pro’s new V6 FIR tuning standard.

The V6 Tuning features include: equalisation to a neutral frequency response, improved linearised phase response above 300 Hz, allowing users to start with a known flat voicing for further EQ’ing to the needs of the install, improved signal coherence and matched gain to allow for smooth system tuning and subwoofer integration.

The V6 FIR tunings are for COL600 & COL800, SLP12/T & SLP14/T, GSF6 & GSF8, and Control 68HP products.  The posted tunings are for use with Crown DCI-N and DCI-DA power amplifiers. Additional tuning files are expected to be released for Crown CDI DriveCore amplifiers promptly thereafter.

All models feature multitap transformers for use in distributed systems and are switchable for direct operation. The Control Contractor V6 FIR Tunings were developed to enhance the Control Contractor lineup as a way of producing unmatched performance from this loudspeaker line.
