Patented Plus One™ Woofer-Cone Technology

GTO 609C features JBL’s patented Plus One™ carbon-injected cones, offering more cone surface area than others in its class. This design allows the speaker to move more air, resulting in improved low-frequency output. The carbon-injected material also makes the cone lighter and stiffer, delivering deeper bass and enhanced musical detail—typically associated with larger speakers.

Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Frames

GTO 609C’s 6-1/2" woofer/midrange drivers feature durable fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) frames that resist warping—even when mounted on uneven surfaces. The nonmagnetic carbon composite frame helps focus magnetic energy to the voice coil instead of dissipating it as heat, while also eliminating unwanted resonance. The result is more efficient performance and accurate, distortion-free sound.
