Limited Edition Gloss Black
With the Black Edition Appearance package, the enclosure of the L82 is treated to a multi-step, labor-intensive painting process that starts with a black base coat and ends with a luxurious high-gloss finish, resulting in a mirror-like exterior that reflects its surroundings.
The high-gloss process also provides a subtle radius to the edges of the cabinet, giving it a softer look overall. To complement the black cabinets, the cabinet features special gold labels on the front, around the attenuator level controls, and on the rear, above the input terminal cup. Black Quadrex foam grilles are accented with unique gold JBL badges to visually identify this model as a special-edition product.
The Black Edition Performance Package includes an upgraded woofer design that benefits from improvements to its linearity, which help reduce distortion (L100 and L82 only). The tweeter and midrange drivers have also been treated to refinements that deliver higher levels of performance.
Additional upgrades include a change to the crossover design to provide dual inputs for use in bi-wiring applications, while a new input terminal cup includes dual sets of premium gold-plated binding post terminals for a secure connection to a variety of loudspeaker cable and connector types.
