Offered here is a really clean and all original JBL Metregon. The wood on this cabinet is near perfect. The early blue 16 ohm components are also perfect both cosmetically and sonically.
Of the 6 different Metregon systems offered, this S72 was second only to the S82 which featured the 375 drivers. The S72 used the following components:
JBL LE15A 15-inch Woofer - A powerful transducer capable of reproducing lowest musical fundamentals at concert hall intensity. Effortlessly reproduces and delivers solid, firm bass even at very high power levels. Designed for use with LE75 or LE 85 high frequency drivers and LX5 dividing network.
JBL LE85 Driver - The LE85 achieves high frequency performance truly linear from 500 cps to beyond the upper limits of audibility. Highs are clean, silky, utterly transparent. Percussive sounds and high intensity transients are dramatically re-created with verbatim accuracy. Like the 375, these will handle steep wavefronts of explosive loudness effortlessly.
JBL H5040 Horn - Cast aluminum exponential horn crossing over at 500 cps. Designed primarily for the Metregon.
JBL LX5 S - Designed especially to integrate the characteristics of the LE75 or LE85 high frequency driver to those of the LE15A low frequency loudspeaker.
This system was selected by the Pasadena Art Museum for showing in the tri-annual industrial design exhibition.
This unit has the beautiful Tawny Walnut finish. It measures 30" high, 74" wide, and 22.5" deep.
From the JBL publication SL607; The JBL Metregon is the first speaker system to offer full-field stereo reproduction in an enclosure of moderate size. Two completely separate full-range speaker systems are housed in the Metregon. Sound from these two sets of speakers is integrated by the curved refractor panel, making use of the same acoustic principles as the JBL - Ranger Paragon. The result is a full-dimensional sound stage six feet wide. There is no "hole in the middle", no "split soloist", to mar the illusion of a real performance.
Like the larger Paragon, the JBL Metregon projects perfectly balanced stereophonic sound to every listener in the room, regardless of seating position. Like the Paragon, it also performs superbly as a monaural reproducing system.
The curved refractor panel used exclusively in JBL integrated stereo systems integrates the two separate stereo channels into a single three-dimensional sound source. It not only produces a smooth transition from one source of sound to the other, but disperses the sound pattern over a wide area.
The two separate full-range speaker systems housed in the Metregon face into the edges of the refractor panel. Sound generated by these speakers tends to flow along the curved surface of the panel. It is projected outward from the refractor by a complicated interplay of reflection and constructive interference. The listener hears sounds directly from the loudspeakers as it is projected across the full width of the curved acoustic refractor. Individual instruments are pinpointed at the position they were recorded. The effect is comparable to dimensions achieved when a moving picture is projected on a wide curved screen.
Since the JBL Metregon generates a stereophonic sound field within the loudspeaker system itself, there is no need to sit in a particular location to hear three-dimensional sound. Every listener in the room hears a single blended performance, just as if the artists were actually in the room.
