JBL Cinema Dual 18" 4 Ω Subwoofer - Flyable
The JBL Cinema 4281F is a professional-grade dual 18" subwoofer engineered to deliver deep, controlled low-frequency response in recording studios, mastering suites, and control rooms where accurate bass reproduction and reliable suspension rigging are essential. Its compact profile and integrated flying hardware make it a practical choice for studio setups requiring flexible placement without sacrificing output or monitoring precision.
Power & Frequency Response
Rated for 1,600 watts of power handling, this subwoofer delivers authoritative bass extension across its 30–500 Hz frequency range, providing the controlled low-end foundation that critical listening, mixing, and mastering sessions demand. The 4-ohm impedance allows for straightforward integration into both passive and powered studio configurations.
Installation & Design
The 14.97-inch (355mm) enclosure depth keeps overall footprint minimal while maintaining dual 18" driver capacity, and top-mounted connectors preserve that shallow profile for flush placement and suspended mounting in studio environments. Built-in rigging points eliminate the need for aftermarket hardware, enabling quick repositioning and flexible placement in permanent or semi-permanent studio setups.
