The JBL® Cinema Sound CST56 looks great with the latest flat-screen and plasma television sets: silver enclosure, high-gloss black front panel, black grille. But the big deal is how it integrates and completes your experience, pounding out big, crisp, clear, glorious audio that's worthy of today's high-definition pictures. JBL® Professional audio standards come home in this speaker, with proprietary technology like PolyPlas™ reinforced woofers and titanium-laminate tweeters mounted in Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal™ waveguides. And that's just the start. Your favorite music and movies will have sound that washes over you, as its creators intended.

- Proprietary, dual 5" (130mm) PolyPlas™ woofers Stiffer cones deliver more uniform pistonic motion for deeper, tighter bass and improved midrange tones. PolyPlas™ coating gives the JBL® CST56's cones maximum-impact JBL® audio. You'll experience serious, feel-it-in-your-bones bass and cinema sound that does justice to a great HDTV picture.
- A massive JBL® HeatScape™ motor structure The HeatScape™ motor structure envelops the JBL® CST56's voice coil with a large ceramic magnet and a steel frame. It protects the voice coil by dissipating heat away from it to increase power handling and give you extremely low levels of harmonic distortion.
- Titanium-laminate dome tweeter The JBL® CST56's thin but rigid titanium-laminate tweeter delivers accurate high-frequency response, even when the volume is way up. The end result is full, clear, tight reproduction of sound. And there's a seamless transition between the middle and high frequencies.
- Elliptical Oblate SpheroidalTM (EOS) waveguides Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal TM (EOS) waveguides, originally developed for JBL® Professional LSR studio monitors, disperse the JBL® CST56's clean high-frequency sound precisely across a wide listening area. There's no "sweet spot." Sit wherever you want.
- Proprietary Straight-Line Signal Path™ (SSP) crossover design By providing the shortest possible route from the input terminals to the transducers, the JBL® CST56's proprietary crossover design minimizes noise and signal loss. So you'll hear everything your TV and music sources can dish out.
- Accurate frequency response At 55Hz to 30kHz, with 90dB sensitivity, nothing is over- or under-emphasized by the JBL® CST56. You get a true, full sound range from deep bass tones to ultrahigh frequencies.
- Cinema Sound performance With 50 watts of continuous power handling and 300 peak, the JBL® CST56 performs like a pro. It uses technology derived directly from JBL® Professional products and gives your home theater audio the unparalleled spaciousness and definition it wants.
- Magnetically shielded speakers for video proximity Put the JBL® CST56 anywhere that makes sense in your home theater setup. It's magnetically shielded for placement on the floor wherever you want, including right near your TV or video display.
