Product Description

This 2-way 6" bookshelf loudspeakers with high-impact molded enclosure reproduce sound with unmatched clarity and power. The PolyPlas (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone woofer features traditional JBL engineering; the same technologies used in JBL's Professional equipment that can be found in stadiums, music halls and movie theaters around the world. These speakers are also weather resistant that allows you to place them on you patio for outdoor listening enjoyment.

Amazon.com Review

JBL's Northridge Series boasts the tag line "Pro Sound Comes Home." From any other company this might seem like marketing hyperbole, but with 50 years' experience building professional speakers and a 70 percent share of the worldwide market, JBL is entitled to boast a little.

The company's Northridge Series is an affordable expression of the company's theater-to-home technology. All Northridge models use 0.75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeters and woofers made of PolyPlas, a polymer-coated cellulose fiber. The woofers in the all-weather N26AWs have been specially treated and are referred to as WeatherPlas.

JBL's N26AW speakers have many of the qualities--neutrality, detail, and dynamic range--that have made JBL so successful. They use a molded, weather-resistant cabinet with a bow-shaped back that not only looks nice but helps prevent the internal buildup of standing waves that could otherwise degrade the sound.

Other features from JBL's pro line employed here include oversized Kapton voice coils and HeatScape motor structures, which allow the drivers to endure unusually high temperatures. We're not talking a toasty summer day on the patio here, but rather the high temperatures generated by large amounts of amplifier power--hence that 125-watt power handling rating. And because simple signal paths provide the best sound, JBL uses its Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover networks to divvy up the range of musical frequencies.

Unlike the N26AW's housebound cousin, the JBL N26, which has deep gray cabinets and cloth grilles, the all-weather Northridge models come in a slightly off-white finish with matching metal grilles.

Behind these grilles, each N26AW conceals a single titanium tweeter and a 6-inch woofer that's been dyed silver to match the look of the gleaming tweeter. Pleasingly, JBL uses gold-plated five-way binding posts for its speaker terminals. These not only make for tight connections that won't tarnish, but because they accept spade lugs and banana plugs (in addition to bare wire), they let you use heavier-gauge speaker wires. (Contrary to what many might tell you, wire does makes a difference. You should use, as a minimum, a good 12-gauge oxygen-free-copper wire or consider one of the many specialty speaker cables on the market.)

JBL's vast experience with professional technology pays sonic dividends with the N26AW, which we find to be a substantial cut above most indoor/outdoor speakers. To start with, the dominant midrange frequencies, which contain 80 percent of all music, sound startlingly natural on the N26AWs. To illustrate, vocals have subtle nuances of expression, pianos can be fiercely percussive or caressingly soft, and guitars can be hollow and ringing or, if electric, crunch, moan, and wail.

The N26AWs have a remarkably natural tonal balance, good detail, and rich harmonic structure. They can also throw a wide soundstage, with well-placed sonic images and a decent sense of three-dimensionality (another unusual trait for an indoor/outdoor speaker). This is important in any situation and especially critical outdoors, where a pair of speakers is likely to be placed farther apart than they would be in a room.

Large-scale music, be it high-powered rock or a symphony orchestra, comes across with ease as well as force on the N26AWs, showing off JBL's well-known ability to handle music with wide dynamic range. The high frequencies have nice extension and decent (but not great) air and definition. The bass reaches down to 50 or 60 Hz with good detail and a reasonable sense of weight.

The N26AWs have a most impressive pedigree and many of the qualities that have made JBL so successful in the professional audio world. While by no means big speakers, they remain somewhat larger than most all-weather models, so measure carefully before committing to any installation.

That one concern aside, we love the fact that, with the N26AW, not only has JBL's pro sound come home, it's gone outdoors. --Wayne Garcia

Pros:

Remarkable tonal balance
Good detail and texture
Excellent component parts
Flexible mounting options

Cons:

Slightly large for outdoor use

Customer Reviews:

Fabulous outdoor speaker.......2003-05-02

These outdoor speakers sound absolutely fantastic. They are smooth, detailed, and have unusually good bass response for an outdoor speaker. I have listened to many other outdoor speakers and have heard none better. Highly recommended! But, potential purchasers should be aware that these speakers are quite large and require the purchase of optional mounting brackets for wall or under-eve mounting. I was disappointed that the grills on my N26AW's started rusting after a relatively short period of time, necessitating removing and spray painting them. Still, the sound is so good I feel they deserve a 5 star rating.

Large size, small sound.......2000-09-14

Given these speakers large size and comparatively large price tag for weatherproof speakers, I expected a lot more out of them.

They have a very noticeable overemphasis in the 1Khz to 4Khz range. To hear this, imagine you're listening to a full orchestra, but hearing the sound of a sharp trumpet predominate. It's not as bad outdoors where there's no chance for harmonic resonance, but mostly unbearable in an inclosed space.

With the strength of the upper midrange, I found the speakers to be immanently locatable and provide a minimum of presence. I much prefer my sound to be as if the band or orchestra was floating around me, or at least nearby but invisible. These speakers stuffed the sound into their boxes.

Great Sound.......2000-07-25

These speakers have a really great sound for outdoor speakers. They are very well made and attractive to look at. They do not come with mounting brackets, however, which made it a little difficult to hang them. We just had an outdoor party this weekend and got many compliments on them.

complete bullshit.......2004-12-31

a horrible experience

sounds like a vocal from the throat of a donkey.

good for people like G....b

A great stuff.......2004-10-04

I bought this player about a week ago, here from amazon itself. I like the player, the finishing is great. And the thing that I like the most was it comes with an adapter. The headphone is great, the sound is excellent.

I once had burned a cd full of mp3, but had selected to burn it as data CD, and one of my friend's Panasonic could only play the first album of it, but this one plays the whole CD. I can even skip through the tracks. And fast forwarding is easy.

I once used a fully charged 2000mAh NiMH battery, and it lasted for 10 hours.

Let me list that points that I liked and did not.

Liked:
* Supports MP3
* Can skip through tracks
* Great headphone
* 5 genre presets
* Bass Boost

Disliked:
* Does not support ID3 tag info
* Can only jump up the ablums in MP3, cannot go down
* Not good battery info (only displays battery status when the battery is almost dead)

great product!.......2003-10-28

this is my first HP printer ever and I love it! I previously owned an epson and it drives me nuts. this 932C is great. it's fast and the color is crisp and dry quickly, unlike my old epson. sometimes it will print weird codes because it is too sensitive. I learned not to put more than 2 sheets of paper because sometimes this printer can go nuts too, printing a page with 1¼ pages! but, hey, I love this printer.

HP!!.......2003-08-20

We had an old HP before and I wasn't interested in buying another one for bad results with the old one; we bought the DeskJet 932C and right now... I am printing the 22nd page of "nothing" than letters and numbers of all kind, just because a sheet got stock. It's doing this every time we get a page that get stock. 2* for the quality of the pictures.

Product Description

CERWIN VEGA CLSC-6C -- The most important component in your home theater system is, many would argue, the Center Channel. Movie dialogue, and most multi-channel singing and soloing, emerges straight from the center. So it's vital to select a high quality Center Channel Speaker like the CLSC-6C. Video shielded for safe placement near your TV Dimensions - 8H x 22.7W x 9.5D Weight - 27 pounds Elegant Black Ash finish

Amazon.com Product Description

As with all Classic series speakers, the Cerwin-Vega CLSC-6C two-way center channel speaker is designed to overwhelm your senses, not your decor. The speaker's elegant black ash finish is distinctive and complementary, and looks great amidst both modern and traditional furnishings. More importantly, the speaker's dual 6.5-inch woofers and 1-inch soft dome tweeter combine to produce a seamless 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response. The results are remarkably gratifying whether the listener is enjoying the latest multichannel audio formats or playing a movie's dialogue--the traditional domain of a center speaker in a home theater system.

CLSC-6C construction details include custom-designed cast-aluminum frames and fiber-impregnated cellulose cones for the woofers, which give vocals and other midrange frequencies warmth and clarity. The computer-optimized tweeter waveguide, meanwhile, is highly sensitive and dynamic while creating extremely low distortion. The geometry of the waveguide also results in near-perfect integration of the midrange and high frequencies, so listeners won't have to endure frequency "gaps" when listening to soaring movies or music.

Compatible with amps that produce up to 125 watts per channel, the CLSC-6C can be used as a center channel speaker for any system, but works particularly well when teamed with other Cerwin-Vega Classic series speakers, which are tonally matched for the best possible audio integration. In addition, the speaker is magnetically shielded against video interference, so you can locate it near the TV without distorting the video image. And at 22.7 by 8 by 9.5 inches (W x H x D), it fits conveniently on most entertainment centers either above or below the video monitor.

As with all Classic speakers, the CLSC-6C is backed by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

works great for me.......2005-07-11

this CD/MP3 palyer has been working awesome for me! those other reviews were probably written by people who used and abused this thing almost 24/7. i would highly recomend this to those who would'nt be using this every other second of the day, since it might break down to CONSTANT wear and tear. so far i have dropped it, causing the cover to fall off like 4 times, but i just snap it back together, and it works fine! but like any player, it could use improvement, like the play/pause and next/previous buttons are a little slow on response time. but overall, I am satisfied with the performance and features i got out of this for the money, especially the ability for MP3 discs which can hold like 20 times the amount of songs of a regular CD. GREAT FOR A FIRST PLAYER

horrible.......2003-10-23

Before this I had a Sony discman for about 6 years which worked perfectly until eventually it got so old the glue dried out. I replaced it with this coby and have been very disappointed. Within about a 2 weeks the headphones (which kinda hurt) broke. Then about 6 months later the plastic holding the cover down cracked, so now the cover doesn't open and close properly. About 2 weeks after that the screen cracked. After 7 months this cd player was now functioning worse than the sony I'd had for 6 years.

It has great features and seems like a great buy, but it breaks easily. Invest another $5-10 and get a name brand, like sony or philips, that you can use for years.

Not perfect, but good bang for buck........2003-01-07

You won't mistake this for a Sony. It's not terribly pretty, and it feels a little cheap. The controls are not models of clarity, either, and the instructions provided don't cover MP3 browsing in enough depth.

On the other hand, it's the only unit on the market that has MP3, CD and AM/FM in a discman sized unit. And the price is right.

The radio is good, better than the one on my Sony AM/FM discman it replaces. It does a good job of tuning out interference from PCs in my office.

Controls for CD playing are fairly standard: youwon't even need to read the instructions if you've ever used a CD player before.

Ossasionally the unit has trouble recognising a CD-ROM full of MP3s, and it does take about 30 seconds to catalog all the tracks on a CD before it starts playing. If it has problems recognising the CD, open and close the lid and try again.

Controls for MP3 browsing are a little rudimentary. Basically, there is an Album button that walks you through the directories on the CD-ROM, and then you use the search buttons ( < < and >>) to select the track. There is also a random play mode that skips through all the MP3s on the CD-ROM, and this is the play mode I usually use.

I didn't have to do anything special with the MP3 CD-ROM to get it to read it. Both my old backup of my MP3 directory on my PC and a new CD I burned after getting the unit play perfectly. (Maybe it's not a comprehensive test, but so far so good.)

The included headphones are cheap garbage, but this is pretty much what you'd expect for bundled-in headphones. Sound is decent with my Sony ear buds. It's certainly capable of playing the limited range of sound MP3s provide.

Overall, while it's a bit rough in execution, it has more features than units that cost twice as much. And for AM radio with MP3 playback it's the only game in town smaller than a boom box. I am satisfied with mine.

The only personal CD/MP3 player available with AM/FM.......2003-01-04

I have been looking for a personal CD/MP3 player that comes with an AM/FM tuner. This is the only product that I have found on the market. Overall I am happy with it, but it does not have the best audio quality. The sound is a bit flat regardless of source (radio, CD, or MP3). Also, I notice a very slight hiss when playing MP3's.

Good points: CD/MP3 w/ AM/FM, low cost, moderate to good sound

Bad points: CD too sensitive without ESP, slight hiss when playing MP3's

Don't Buy.......2002-12-26

The radio is weak; doesn't pull in any normally strong signals. The sound quality is poor. The bass boost is a joke. Cheap looks and controls. Not worth what I paid.
