Don’t Worry, It's Just Your Movie

Who could deny that being surrounded in sound from your favorite action flick makes watching it more exciting? And who could deny that when listening to a CD or your iPod, there’s no better experience than closing your eyes and imagining your favorite musical artist giving you your own private concert right in front you? We hear you.

Satellites:
The JBL CS480 home theater system uses 3/4" titanium-laminate tweeters to re-create all of the high frequencies you hear in your favorite movie or song. Titanium’s strength and light weight make it perfect for quickly and accurately reproducing high frequencies from music and movies without strain or distortion. And a patented JBL EOS waveguide ensures that high frequencies have a wide and uniform dispersion, which results in smooth high-frequency sound over a large listening area. Add a rigid 3-1/2" midrange driver that features a patented JBL PolyPlas™ driver, and the CS480 satellites will make whatever you’re listening to sound smooth and detailed. And when it comes to the critical center channel, the CS480 steps up the performance, using dual 3-1/2" midrange drivers to make movie dialogue sound clear and natural.

Subwoofer:
When it comes to low frequencies, the CS480 creates bass with a powerful punch, using an 8", 125-watt subwoofer. To increase the rigidity of the woofer, the CS480 uses a patented JBL PolyPlas driver.
