Product Description
Take your favorite music outdoors without losing precious fidelity with the JBL Northridge N24AWII weather-resistant bookshelf speakers. Designed for patios, porches, and other areas with a roof eve or awning, the speakers are ideal for lazy summer parties, wedding receptions, and other outdoor gatherings, as their JLB-exclusive Kapton voice coils and Heatscape motor structures provide rich, crisp audio without withering under intense heat or whipping wind. And should listeners not have a suitable outdoor environment--the speakers aren't waterproof, so uncovered areas aren't ideal--they can move inside and use them as bookshelf stereo speakers or rear speakers in a surround system. The speakers even come with individual brackets for mounting on a wall.

Each speaker includes a 0.75-inch titanium-laminate cone tweeter that reproduces high notes and dialogue at the peak of precision. The tweeter also boasts an oval orientation called Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS), which results in a wider horizontal dispersion of sound. The idea is simple: turn every seat, no matter where it's located, into the best seat in the house or yard. Meanwhile, the mids and lows radiate from the professionally engineered 4-inch WeatherPlas cone woofers. Additional audio enhancements include FreeFlow flared ports that minimize distortion and thump and a Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover network that divides the audio signal with minimal processing for a better overall sound.

The N24AWII's technical specifications include a maximum recommended amplifier power of 100 watts, a frequency response of 75 Hz to 20 kHz, and a crossover frequency of 3,000 Hz. Audiophiles will also appreciate the sturdy five-way binding posts, which both provide a variety of secure hookup options and preserve the nuances of the source music.

The speakers hail from JBL's Northridge E Series, which comprises not only floorstanding and bookshelf speakers, but also center channel speakers, subwoofers, and anything else you need to create a superior surround system. The speakers measure 6.25 by 9.5 by 4.75 inches (W x H x D) and are covered by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

Customer Reviews For JBL Northridge N24AWII 2-Way Weather-Resistant Bookshelf Speakers, Pair
Fabulous sound AND aesthetic appeal!
 
Review Date: February 27, 2004
Reviewer: , Nashville (Music City) USA
These speakers are true to my past experience with JBL : fabulous sound with crisp highs, rich midtones, and tight bass (for their size-- you can always add a subwoofer). I think they're the best value out there in bookshelf and compact home theater speakers. And as a bonus, they look really cool with a nice grill design and sleek white finish. The material and build quality is very high-- much better than average.

If you want some great compact speakers for home or even for a portable setup, with full sonic clarity, these are the deal.

Reviewer: Modern Blue Argonaut,
*I have the black pair of these speakers, so I cannot comment on the appearance or finish on the white set*

I bought these speakers several years ago to be used as outdoor wall-mounted speakers. They worked out very well for almost a year outside before I took them down and brought them inside due to noise ordinance issues. The sound outside was very good, and handled medium to medium-loud volumes without any trouble, even with the speaker wire running perhaps 40-50 feet. Mounted outside, these speakers dispersed sound very well and I was often asked where the speakers were because the sound seemed to be all around.

I pretty much forgot about these speakers for a few years, and then found myself needing a set of speakers since my son took mine for his room. I dug these out and hooked them up and was surprised at the quality. I wasn't expecting much from a set of indoor/outdoor bookshelf speakers but these exceeded my expectations. I pulled off the grill and looked at the speaker components, and everything was in tip-top shape and very high quality.

These speakers handle mid-range exceptionally well, especially voices, drums, and guitars. Also, even with the volume turned up extremely high the sound remains clear and strong, with little detectable distortion.

Although these handle the higher notes found in classical music very well, they sound very directional due to the small size.

Bass handling was acceptable, but these speakers would benefit from a subwoofer if your music has a lot of bass.

Overall, for bookshelf speakers, these are very impressive for a wide range of musical tastes. I would recommend these if you need indoor/outdoor speakers, have limited space, or want to enjoy quality speakers on a budget.
Great Speakers for Surround

I use these speaker for surrounds in my 5.1 Home Theater system, they are paired with JBL E30 front satellites, JBL E C35 center, JBL E 250P sub, and a Yamaha RX-V767 AV receiver/amp.

Great highs - treble is detailed, clear and crisp, midbass is punchy for 4" woolfer, and the midrange is clear and clean; imaging is also good. I have a JBL E250 sub and have not listened to these on their own (full range) so I don't know about bass response/output.

I bought these to match (timbre) the rest of JBL Northridge E speakers in my 5.1 surround system and becuase of the off-white color to make them blend in more with walls/celling, plus they come with mounting hardware. These make great surround sound speakers if you have other JBL speakers or not.

Bottom line - These speakers sound good, look good (indoors or out), and are easy to mount. A great buy.
Excellent Speakers.

Reviewer: SB Leo,
I had a chance to listen to these little speakers at a friend's house and I liked them very much. They had distinctive high ends that could only be found from JBL speakers. The midrange was pretty smooth and clear but obviously there was not much bass from the small 4" drivers. Because of their flexible on-wall mounting/positioning and since each of them also has a 3/4" Titanium-laminate tweeter as the E-series speakers, I planned to buy a pair of them to use as surround back speakers in my 7.1 speaker system which consists of all E-series speakers. However, when I contacted JBL's technical supports, I was told that the N24AWII's were very close timbre-match but not perfect match for the E-series speakers and that I would better use the E10's instead if I wanted perfect tonal match for my speaker system. I think I will get the E10's but the E10's can't be mounted on the wall as easily and as flexibly as the N24AWII.
