Harman Multimedia, the genius behind the JBL Encounter 2.1 Multi-Media Speaker System, has long been known for the stylish designs and world-class technologies it brings to its products. The JBL Encounter Speaker System happily extends that reputation. The Encounter 2.1 is a stylish, compact, high-performance sound system for your desktop computer, laptop, iPod, MP3 player and other digital audio sources. The Encounter 2.1 will provide a rich, clean, and powerful sound stage for all of your listening activities while enhancing your desk with style.

A stereo mini-jack connection allows you to enjoy high quality audio from a variety of devices such as MP3 and CD players, as well as Macintosh and PC desktop computers and laptops. The system also supports all iPods with a headphone port. With touch volume control, a simple touch is all it takes to mute, un-mute, increase or decrease the volume.

The bass control utilizes FCS, a fixed crossover shelving topology. This allows for a pure bass adjustment that does not affect the sound imaging as the bass level increases. Four aluminum-domed transducers are driven by powerful neodymium magnets to provide a full and rich frequency response from the mids to the highest highs. A magnum six-inch driver is optimized for clean powerful bass response. And the JBL "OnStage" system equalization, based on a proprietary compression technology, is computer optimized to provide a complete sound stage from your desktop. Lastly, the satellite and subwoofer ports rely on patented slipstream port geometry. This design maximizes port efficiency while minimizing port noise.

The result of all these features is a speaker system that you'll love showing off and that will provide astonishing clarity for all of your digital audio listening needs.
