Key Features
25 – 280 watts suggested amplifier power range
JBL engineers designed each ES30 loudspeaker to produce precise, exceptional sound from a receiver or amplifier capable of delivering up to 280 watts of power.
Proprietary 6" PolyPlas transducers
The ES30’s stiff, lightweight PolyPlas driver material, with a rubber surround, reproduces vocals with incredible accuracy, gives great bass response, creates a seamless surround field and minimizes distortion, even at high volumes. Together, the driver and surround give you an unmatched audio experience.
Dual 3/4" tweeters
The ES30’s high-frequency and ultrahigh-frequency tweeters deliver accurate, undistorted high-frequency response, even when the volume is way up. The end result is a full, clear, tight reproduction of high and ultrahigh frequencies.

waveguides
The ES30’s proprietary EOS waveguide technology delivers precise imaging throughout your listening environment. You get ideally balanced music, crisp dialogue and smooth audio distribution. Every seat will be the best seat in your home theater.
Three-way speaker configuration
Three-way speaker design and quality cones make for tighter, more precise bass and midrange reproduction. As a result, the ES30 offers a full range of frequencies and lifelike imaging.
Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) design
The ideal path from input to components to transducers is a straight line. The ES30 takes that path. Its Straight-Line Signal Path™ (SSP) technology preserves the clarity, detail and dynamics of your favorite audio content.
Computer-optimized, bass reflex port
The ES30’s computer-optimized, bass-reflex port extends deep bass response. It also eliminates the unwanted turbulence that’s usually associated with powerful speakers.
Accurate frequency response
The ES30 doesn’t over-emphasize or under-emphasize any sounds. With a frequency response of 50Hz – 40kHz, the speaker reproduces a true, full sound range from deep bass tones to ultrahigh frequencies.
Bi-wiring capabilities
The ES30’s internal dividing network enables bi-wiring capabilities that offer you more flexibility in amplifier selection - and serious sonic advantages in audio response.
Magnetically shielded
The ES30 produces great, sit-anywhere sound in your room. And you can also put it anywhere, because it’s magnetically shielded for safe placement near your TV or display.
