HARMAN Luxury Audio Group debuted the JBL 4369 Studio Monitor at the 2025 Tokyo International Audio Show, signaling a new era for one of its most revered loudspeaker lines. As the new flagship in the JBL Studio Monitor Series, the 2-way floorstanding loudspeaker builds upon the celebrated legacy of the JBL 4367 with a suite of acoustic and design upgrades purpose-built for the most discerning audiophiles and music lovers.
Originally launched more than a decade ago, the award-winning JBL 4367 earned global acclaim for its dynamic performance and studio-grade authenticity. The new JBL 4369 honors that legacy while elevating every aspect, from upgraded driver technologies and refined cabinet design to a next-generation crossover network, cementing its place as the new flagship of the JBL Studio Monitor Series.
“JBL Studio Monitor loudspeakers have a legendary reputation in the world of hi-fi delivering ultra-high-performance sound born from JBL’s professional monitors that have been used in the production of the most culturally significant recordings of our time,” said Jim Garrett, Senior Director, Product Strategy and Planning, HARMAN Luxury Audio. “The JBL 4369 is a true modern classic that bridges that storied heritage with today’s cutting-edge engineering. It delivers a breathtaking listening experience wrapped in the iconic design that has made JBL Studio Monitors instantly recognizable for generations.”
Iconic Form, Reengineered for Performance
At the core of the JBL 4369 is a newly developed 15-inch (2219Nd-1) Differential Drive® woofer, featuring dual three-inch voice coils and advanced neodymium motor structure. This patented design incorporates a ribbed pure pulp cone, copper cap/Faraday rings, dual opposing spiders, and a rigid cast aluminum frame engineered to deliver superior excursion, reduced distortion, and exceptional control across the low to mid-frequency spectrum.
Upper-mid and high frequencies are handled by JBL’s patented D2830B annular ring compression driver. Featuring dual three-inch diaphragms and neodymium motor structures, it is seamlessly integrated with a next-generation Sonoglass High-Definition Imaging (HDI™) horn. This waveguide design delivers strikingly accurate imaging, wide dispersion, and smooth response with refined detail and dynamics. Together, these drivers form a two-way system that marries power with finesse to faithfully reproduce every nuance of the source material with the kind of scale, realism, and tonal purity that defines JBL’s studio heritage.
To further elevate performance, the 4369 employs JBL’s MultiCap™ crossover network design, using DC-biased capacitors to increase dynamics, reduce signal loss, and improve consistency. Dual front-firing tuned ports optimize bass response, while IsoAcoustics Stage 1 isolator feet provide exceptional decoupling from floor vibrations.
Premium Design Meets Purposeful Engineering
The 4369 remains true to JBL’s signature Studio Monitor aesthetic with bold proportions and premium materials. The cabinet, constructed of one-inch MDF, features a dual-layer front baffle and is offered in two luxurious furniture-grade wood veneer finishes: Walnut with classic blue grille, or Black Walnut with a matching classic black grille. Signature front-panel controls allow users to fine-tune high and ultra-high frequencies, while a custom-milled aluminum terminal cup houses dual gold-plated binding posts for bi-wire and bi-amp configurations.
The JBL 4369 Studio Monitor will be available globally in Q1 2026.
