The JBL Synthesis HDI-3600 is a premium 2½-way floorstanding loudspeaker designed and engineered in JBL’s Northridge, California acoustic facility. It uses JBL’s patented High-Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide, a 1-inch compression driver, and three 6.5-inch Advanced Aluminum Matrix cone woofers to deliver wide dispersion, strong dynamics, and accurate sound reproduction. The cabinet is bass-reflex with dual rear-firing flared ports, heavily braced, and offered in high-gloss black, satin walnut, or gray oak finishes. It supports bi-wiring or bi-amping via dual binding posts and is intended for high-current amplification.
