The JBL TLX 40 is a bookshelf speaker model that was part of the TLX series, featuring a design that aims to deliver good sound quality in a compact form factor. This speaker typically includes a two-way configuration with a woofer and a tweeter. The woofer is often made from a durable material that helps produce clear midrange frequencies, while the tweeter handles the higher frequencies for a balanced sound profile. The enclosure is designed to minimize distortion and enhance the overall acoustic performance, often featuring a front-firing bass port for improved low-end response. These speakers are known for their versatility, suitable for both music playback and home theater setups. With a power handling capacity that can generally support a decent range of amplifiers, they tend to be compatible with various audio systems. Common specifications include a frequency response that typically ranges from around 50Hz to 20kHz, with an impedance of 8 ohms and a sensitivity rating that provides adequate efficiency for home use.
