JBL C222-TOP Top Section Only – Cinema ScreenArray
The JBL C222-TOP is the upper cabinet of the professional JBL C222 ScreenArray two-way cinema loudspeaker system, engineered for medium-size theaters, post-production facilities, and dubbing stages that demand compact yet powerful screen-channel performance. This top section houses the high-frequency compression drivers and one of the system’s dual 15-inch low-frequency transducers, delivering controlled directivity and smooth tonal integration across the cinema frequency range. Note: this listing is for the top section only; the C222-BOT bottom bass cabinet is sold separately and required to complete a functioning C222 system.
Studio & Post-Production Audio Performance
The complete C222 system extends from 33 Hz to 20 kHz at –10 dB, achieving a free-field sensitivity of 103 dB and maximum continuous SPL of 129 dB with its dual dissimilar arraying and acoustic aperture technologies. This output capability delivers accurate reference-level monitoring for mix sessions, post-production work, and critical listening environments without sacrificing tonal coherence or frequency balance.
Compact Footprint for Studio Installations
At only 12 inches deep, the C222 integrates into shallow control room and equipment-rack installations while maintaining full professional performance; the complete two-piece system measures 60 × 33.75 × 12 inches. Coverage of 100 degrees horizontal and 60 degrees vertical ensures even frequency response across a typical mixing position without excessive off-axis coloration.
