Super Vented Gap Cooling Technology As with all JBL sound reinforcement products, the technology of the STX815M loudspeaker is designed from the ground up employing the best componentry JBL has to offer in products of this class. The STX815M speaker features the latest evolution of JBL's Vented Gap Cooling: Super Vented Gap Technology. Building on the advantages of VGC - low power compression, low distortion, high power handling, lower weight and smoother response - SVG transducers attain higher power handling capabilities due to more effective heat sinking, with minimal dynamic compression and magnet topology enhancements for even lower distortion. Bi-Amp or Full-Range Operation All JBL STX800 two and three-way models, including the STX815M, may be operated full-range or bi-amplified. The selection is made by means of a high-current, recessed switch mounted on the input plate. The same switch arrangement is used on the subwoofer to select 1 or 2 operation. High-Frequency Compression Drivers High frequencies are handled by JBL 2432H 3 inch voice-coil or 2453H 4 inch voice-coil, titanium diaphragm, neodymium compression drivers. In addition to the weight reduction provided by neodymium, the large voice coils and diaphragms in these drivers are capable of handling high power levels with reduced distortion and increased phase coherence resulting in smooth, crystal clear high frequencies.
