JBL’s unique Charge-Coupled
Linear Definition system is used
for the crossover network, in
which a direct (DC) bias current is
constantly applied to the capaci-
tors in the network circuit to acti-
vate the elements, eliminating
crossover distortion at zero elec-
tric potential.

The battery has a life of about two
years. Even if the battery voltage
drops, the network will continue
to function. However, in order to
maintain superior sound quality,
we recommend that you test and
change the battery once a year.
Note that the battery may leak
and damage the holder and other
parts if it is left in the speaker for a
long period after exceeding the
suggested duration.
