JBL T696
The new JBL® T696, the successor of the legendary JBL T595, is an engineering and manufacturing feat. Designed from the start as a state-of the-art product, the T696 is a three-way 6" x 9" automotive Loudspeaker that features 450 watts of Peak Power handling, edge-driven textile tweeters, and a uniquely designed aluminum Frame. The T696 is the ultimate manifestation of JBL’s years of leadership in the Field of automotive Sound.
High-End Appearance
• Modern-looking grille: This innovative design is directly derived from JBL’s upcoming GTI speaker series. It is completely made of cast aluminum, and the high-quality, black-carbon-fiber-finished trim ring provides a modern look that fits well into most car interiors.
• Proprietary cast-aluminum frame: The frame provides the strength and rigidity that this high-power speaker requires. You won’t see this unique design on any other speaker on the market.
• Aluminum tweeter faceplate: Even the midrange and tweeter are built into a solid aluminum structure with integrated grilles for perfect cone protection even when the grille is removed.
Superior Sound Quality
• Fully edge-driven textile tweeters: Unlike standard 6" x 9" speakers, the T696 uses advanced textile tweeter and midrange drivers with neodymium motor structure.
• Tweeter-level control switch is mounted right on the tweeter faceplate; this push-button allows for easy adjustment (0/+3dB) of tweeter output level even after installing the speakers in your car.
• Fully voice-matched: Tuned to satisfy both high-power and high-end enthusiasts with a stunning bass, nice mids and smooth highs.
• Stiff polypropylene woofer cone provides excellent bass performance combined with high sensitivity and reduced distortion.
High-Output Design
• Oversized voice coils: Unlike ordinary 6" x 9" speakers, the T696 woofer uses a 38mm voice coil combined with an oversized motor structure. Thereby heat dissipation is significantly increased, resulting in an impressive 150W/450W (RMS/Peak) power handling.
• Built-in tweeter protection circuit: The integrated poly switch automatically limits output level to protect the tweeter from deadly distortion.
• High-quality terminals: These screw-in terminals are absolutely short-circuit-proof, solid and built to accept thick heavy-duty speaker cables.
