• 75 watts per channel

  75 watts per channel

  The Harman Kardon AVR 70 delivers solid, detailed sound at 75 watts per channel. Optimized to fill an average-sized home theatre with anything but average audio, the AVR 70 ensures that your music will always hit the right notes, sound effects will always feel realistic, and dialogue will always be delivered crisply.

• Home theatre system with 360-degree sound

  Home theatre system with 360-degree sound

  The Studio 1 Package presents sound the way it really is: in three dimensions and 360 degrees. When audio signals enter the system’s AVR 70, the receiver can process them for multiple channels and pass them to the Studio 180, Studio 120C, Control One and Studio SUB140P speakers. This system includes everything that you need for an entertainment centre except the screen.

• Stunning, décor-complementing modern design

  Stunning, décor-complementing modern design

  The Studio 1 Package represents a décor-friendly complement to any virtually any home. Its contemporary styling incorporates glossy, black exteriors, polished surfaces and elegant symmetry. These handsome elements are part of the rich JBL and Harman Kardon design heritage, and they can enhance or blend into most rooms.

• 5.1-channel surround sound

  5.1-channel surround sound

  The AVR 70 can power a full 5.1-channel surround-sound system. Its high-current capability (HCC), ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier is designed for accurate, dynamic audio, giving your home system a spectacular range of sound.

• Dolby and DTS surround sound

  Dolby and DTS surround sound

  Major filmmakers shoot their movies in Dolby® or DTS® sound. Why not hear the movies in the same way? The Studio 1 Package’s receiver and speakers can present your entertainment in enveloping DTS or Dolby surround sound so that you hear movies as their creators intended.

• Extensive connectivity

  Extensive connectivity

  The AVR 70 features three HDMI inputs for all of your modern digital video sources. It also has two composite video inputs for legacy sources. Three digital audio inputs and five analogue inputs keep you connected to all your audio sources, while a front-panel USB port allows you to play MP3 and WMA files.

• Night mode

  Night mode

  While some people sleep, you stay up to watch. But how do you enjoy the full experience of the AVR 70 without waking anyone up? Simple. Use night mode, which reduces the volume of loud sounds and increases the volume on quiet sounds. Now you can enjoy a full experience at quiet listening levels without having to adjust the volume all the time.

• IR remote control

  IR remote control

  The AVR 70 comes with a fully functional IR (infrared) remote control that can make other remotes disappear. Optimized to run most of the devices in your home theatre system, this remote eliminates the need for a table full of remotes. Instead, it enables you to return your coffee table to its intended purpose: a footrest.

• Dot-matrix information display

  Dot-matrix information display

  An intuitive dot-matrix display on the front panel of the AVR 70 allows you to listen to music on your system without making you turn on the TV to control its functionality.

• Magnetically shielded speakers

  Magnetically shielded speakers

  Loudspeakers such as the Studio 180, Studio 120C and Control One use magnets. But your TV hates magnets, because magnets can cause interference on TV screens. Fortunately, we’ve shielded the Studio 180, Studio 120C and Control One to prevent any interference with video sources.

• Wide frequency response for virtually all audible sounds

  Wide frequency response for virtually all audible sounds

  A component’s frequency response measures how sensitive it is to various frequencies and how accurately it reproduces them. The Studio 1 Package’s components boast a frequency response running from 32Hz, nearly the bottom end of human hearing, up to 22kHz, well over the top end. You’ll hear and feel every note in your music.

• Distinctive JBL Weave design

  Distinctive JBL Weave design

  Three of the Studio 1’s speakers – the Studio 180, Studio 120C and Studio SUB140P – have exteriors that feature the JBL Weave design, a perfect convergence of form and function. We’ve designed these speakers to look sharp and stylish in any room, whether you need them to blend in or stand out.

• Patented CMMD Lite 1" (25mm) tweeters

  Patented CMMD Lite 1" (25mm) tweeters

  The Studio 180 and Studio 120C’s high-frequency dome tweeters are made of CMMD Lite material – aluminium sandwiched between ceramic. The result is strong enough to hold its shape when moving rapidly yet light enough to eliminate unwanted resonances. What your ears notice, however, is its subtle, clear detail and lasting, unsullied sound performance.

• Proprietary Bi-Radial waveguide that widens the “sweet spot”

  Proprietary Bi-Radial waveguide that widens the “sweet spot”

  The Bi-Radial® waveguides in the Studio 180 and Studio 120C disperse high frequencies widely without losing quality or accuracy. The result is precise, 360-degree imaging, sharp and rich high-definition (HD) sound and a wide listening position that makes every seat in the room the one to fight for.

• Dual 4" (100mm) PolyPlas woofers

  Dual 4" (100mm) PolyPlas woofers

  Powerful bass does more than affect your ears. It resonates throughout your body. JBL engineers created the Studio 180 and Studio 120C’s low-frequency transducers with that idea in mind. Each speaker features two woofer cones of stiff, lightweight PolyPlas material that improves the speaker’s strength while reducing distortion. The cones work in tandem to high volume that is deep but never “boomy.”

• Rugged, durable control monitor

  Rugged, durable control monitor

  The Control One monitor speakers are tough. Based on the monitor loudspeakers that recording studios use, they’re built to play with amazing fidelity over the long haul. What’s more, they come with wall-mounting hardware so that you can mount them virtually anywhere.

• Powered subwoofer with built-in 150-watt RMS amplifier

  Powered subwoofer with built-in 150-watt RMS amplifier

  The Studio SUB140P subwoofer’s 150-watt RMS amplifier lets the sub develop high-energy sound levels without adding unwanted sonic artefacts. A built-in limiter prevents the distortion that results from sudden peak levels. These features turn a sound experience from the merely impressive into the completely immersive.

• 8" (200mm) low-frequency transducer

  8" (200mm) low-frequency transducer

  The Studio SUB140P features an 8-inch (200-millimetre) low-frequency transducer that delivers chest-thumping audio – but it’s accurate enough to articulate individual sounds at sustained low frequencies. Such immersive bass creates a foundation that is powerful enough to support an entire surround-sound experience.

• Digital amplifier circuitry

  Digital amplifier circuitry

  Energy efficiency is a priority; so is low heat output. The Studio SUB140P’s built-in digital amplifier fulfils both functions. But it doesn’t skimp on your primary requirement: powerful low-frequency sound.

• Bass-reflex enclosure

  Bass-reflex enclosure

  Unlike other subwoofers, the Studio SUB140P is not housed within a sealed enclosure. Instead, the SUB140P features a bass-reflex enclosure, which reduces noise and turbulence. The speaker provides movie soundtracks and music with the breathing room that they need to sound realistic with little or no distortion.

• Down-firing transducer

  Down-firing transducer

  The Studio SUB140P’s driver fires downwards instead of outwards, a configuration that prevents sounds from reflecting off of walls. Instead, sound travels upwards, resulting in clean, crisp bass. As a result, you can place the SUB140P anywhere in a room without worrying that it’ll produce the artificial “boominess” that can detract from the realism of a surround-sound experience.

• Comprehensive phase and crossover controls

  Comprehensive phase and crossover controls

  A two-position phase switch ensures that the Studio SUB140P’s bass transducer moves in sync with your other speakers. You get even more control over the subwoofer’s interaction with other speakers thanks to its crossover-frequency control, which lets you determine how the subwoofer’s highest frequencies match and meld with the other speakers’ lowest tones. No matter where you put the subwoofer, its low frequencies will blend seamlessly with sounds from other speakers.

• LFE and line-level inputs

  LFE and line-level inputs

  The Studio SUB140P subwoofer has both LFE (low-frequency effects) and line-level inputs, so you can either use or bypass the subwoofer’s internal crossover circuits. Such an option provides flexibility in how you set up and use the SUB140P, while it ensures noise-free connections to virtually any type of audio/video amplifier or sound centre.
