help JBL HDI-1600 FAQ
What drivers are used in the JBL HDI-1600?
The HDI-1600 uses a 6.5-inch Advanced Aluminum Matrix cone woofer and a 1-inch compression driver. That differs from descriptions that incorrectly identify it as a 4-inch woofer with a 3/4-inch tweeter.
What does JBL's HDI horn do in the HDI-1600?
The patented High-Definition Imaging horn geometry controls how the compression driver's sound spreads into the room. It is intended to support consistent imaging and dynamics from a compact bookshelf enclosure.
Is the JBL HDI-1600 suitable for a home stereo system?
Yes, it is designed as a two-way bookshelf loudspeaker for stereo or home theater use. Its 6.5-inch woofer provides more low-frequency capability than many small desktop speakers, although a subwoofer may still be useful.
Where should I place the JBL HDI-1600?
Place the speakers on stable stands or a rigid shelf with the tweeters near ear height. Leave room from the rear wall and angle the pair toward the listening position to help the 2-channel image develop.
