Raising the Standard for Ultrahigh-end Luxury Audio

The JBL Synthesis S4Ai multipurpose surround loudspeaker fits into standard-construction 2″ x 4″ stud walls with a grille that mounts flush to the wall surface, ensuring that even the toughest-to-please designers will love its look.

Integrated dipole or bipole modes provide options for a spectacular cinematic experience, the S4Ai turns into a direct-radiating 2-way 8″ speaker an owners favourite music mode.

For smaller installations, where 7-channel sound is important but you don’t have the space, the S4Ai can be dual-driven to provide both side and rear channels from one position in the room.

The S4Ai can be used with any of the JBL Synthesis Series systems.
