SFG magnet structure with Vented
Gap Cooling’” technology
The 2226G/H/J low frequency
transducer represents the results of
JBL’s latest engineering research in
high power transducer design. The
2226G/H/J signifies a major advance
in speaker design by incorporating
JBL’s patented Vented Gap Cooling’”
technology in an improved Symmetri-
cal Field Geometry (SFG) magnetic
structure.
To increase power handling while
reducing power compression, JBL
engineers have created a unique,
direct voice coil-to-air heat dissipation
method called Vented Gap Cooling.
This process pumps air through the
magnetic gap and directly over and
around the voice coil to provide
immediate heat transfer and reduction
in operating temperature - a direct
improvement in power compression.
The 2226G/H/J incorporates an
improved SFG (Symmetrical Field
Geometry) magnetic structure.
Computer-aided magnet optimization
and analysis has allowed JBL engi-
neers to optimize both magnet weight
and flux density so that the 2226G/H/J
is not only 1.5 kg (3.25 lb) lighter than
its predecessor, but has reduced dis-
tortion as well. This new magnet
structure offers much of the weight
advantage of rare earth magnet struc-
tures without their prohibitive cost.

1
AES standard (50-500 Hz).
2
Based upon a swept 100 Hz to 500 Hz signal, measured in half space, for an input of 2 0 V @ 4 ohms, 2 83 V @ 8 ohms or
4.0V @ 16 ohms
3
Frequency range is defined as the frequency extremes where the response is - 10 dB from the rated sensitivity
4
Power compression is the sensitivity loss at the specified power, measured from 50 to 500 Hz, after a 5 minute AES
standard (50-500 Hz) pink noise preconditioning test at the specified power
5
Distortion is measured at -10 dB power, from 100-500 Hz.
JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. New materials, production methods, and design
refinements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy For this
reason, any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its published description but will always equal or exceed
the original design specifications unless otherwise stated
