HARMAN unveiled the new JBL 4369 Studio Monitor at the this year’s Tokyo International Audio Show. The new flagship in the JBL Studio Monitor Series, the 2-way floorstanding loudspeaker features a suite of acoustic and design upgrades. The JBL 4369 honors the design legacy of its predecessors sporting upgraded driver technologies, a refined cabinet design, and a next-generation crossover network.
At the core of the JBL 4369 is a newly developed 15-inch (2219Nd-1) Differential Drive woofer, featuring dual three-inch voice coils and advanced neodymium motor structure. This patented design incorporates a ribbed pure pulp cone, copper cap/Faraday rings, dual opposing spiders, and a rigid cast aluminum frame engineered to deliver superior excursion, reduced distortion, and exceptional control across the low to mid-frequency spectrum.
Upper-mid and high frequencies are handled by JBL’s patented D2830B annular ring compression driver. Featuring dual three-inch diaphragms and neodymium motor structures, it is seamlessly integrated with a next-generation Sonoglass High-Definition Imaging (HDI) horn. This waveguide design delivers strikingly accurate imaging, wide dispersion, and smooth response with refined detail and dynamics. Together, these drivers form a two-way system that marries power with finesse to faithfully reproduce every nuance of the source material with the kind of scale, realism, and tonal purity that defines JBL’s studio heritage.
To further elevate performance, the 4369 employs JBL’s MultiCap crossover network design, using DC-biased capacitors to increase dynamics, reduce signal loss, and improve consistency. Dual front-firing tuned ports optimize bass response, while IsoAcoustics Stage 1 isolator feet provide exceptional decoupling from floor vibrations.
The cabinet, constructed of one-inch MDF, features a dual-layer front baffle and is offered in two luxurious furniture-grade wood veneer finishes: Walnut with classic blue grille, or Black Walnut with a matching classic black grille. Signature front-panel controls allow users to fine-tune high and ultra-high frequencies, while a custom-milled aluminum terminal cup houses dual gold-plated binding posts for bi-wire and bi-amp configurations.
The JBL 4369 Studio Monitor will be available globally in Q1 2026.
