Frequently asked questions
What is the main driver difference between these two models?
The 4732-M/HF uses four 6.5-inch (165H) midrange drivers, while the 5732-M/HF uses two larger 8-inch (200 mm) Differential Drive neodymium midrange transducers with dual-coil voice coils. The 5732's larger drivers and neodymium design prioritize articulation; the 4732's four-driver array prioritizes cumulative output.
Which model has higher power handling and sensitivity?
The 5732-M/HF midrange accepts 700 W AES versus the 4732-M/HF's 200 W AES, and the 5732 achieves 110 dB SPL midrange sensitivity versus the 4732's 109 dB SPL. The 5732 is engineered for greater dynamic range and sustained power demands.
Are these compatible with the same low-frequency sections?
No. The 4732-M/HF requires the JBL 4739 low-frequency section to complete the system, while the 5732-M/HF requires the separate JBL 5739 (dual-15 bass cabinet). These are not interchangeable.
Which is better for studio versus cinema use?
The 4732 is optimized for cinema sound with shallow depth and traditional high-SPL cinema voicing. The 5732 is equally suited to studio sessions, live performance, and post-production thanks to its articulate neodymium midrange and extended dynamic headroom, making it more versatile beyond cinema-only installations.
