HARMAN Luxury Audio Group kicked off the Tokyo International Audio Show with the debut of the JBL 4369 Studio Monitor, signaling a new era for one of its most revered loudspeaker lines. The JBL Studio Monitor Series was announced as the new flagship for the brand. Featuring a 2-way floorstanding loudspeaker, JBL Studio Monitor Series builds upon the celebrated legacy of the JBL 4367 with a suite of acoustic and design upgrades purpose-built for the most discerning audiophiles and music lovers.
The award-winning JBL 4367, originally launched more than a decade ago, earned global acclaim for its dynamic performance and studio-grade authenticity. The new JBL 4369 honors that legacy while elevating every aspect, from upgraded driver technologies and refined cabinet design to a next-generation crossover network, cementing its place as the new flagship of the JBL Studio Monitor Series.
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 4369’s 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.
