JBL L82 Classic Bookshelf Loudspeakers 
 
 ***New in 2023—Limited Black Edition*** (see below)  
 
The L82 Classic is a compact 8-inch (200mm) 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker featuring JBL’s advanced acoustic technologies in combination with the iconic retro-inspired style of its larger family member: the L100 Classic. The vintage design of the L82 Classic features a genuine walnut satin wood veneer cabinet and a striking Quadrex foam grille available in a choice of black, orange or blue. Beneath this compelling exterior lie modern acoustic components that deliver stunning sound sure to please any music lover. For pristine and detailed high frequencies, the L82 Classic utilizes a 1-inch (25mm) Titanium dome tweeter mated with a waveguide – the same captivating high-frequency components found in the larger L100 Classic. A high-frequency L-pad attenuator allows the user to tailor the sound as desired. As a 2-way design, the L82 Classic uses a powerful 8-inch (200mm) cast-frame, white pure pulp cone woofer operating in a bass-reflex design with a front-firing tuned port. Despite its relative size, the L82 Classic provides dynamic and authoritative sound even in larger spaces. The accessory JS-80 floor stands allow the L82 Classic to be used in a freestanding environment with the loudspeaker angling gently backwards to focus the sound to the listening position in the same manner as the JS-120 floor stands with the L100 Classic. In the storied tradition of JBL 8-inch 2-way loudspeakers, the L82 Classic is sure to become a favorite of listeners around the world.

 ***New in 2023—Limited Black Edition*** (see below)  
 
For a limited time, JBL’s iconic Classic Series passive hi-fi and powered streaming loudspeakers will be available in a special Black Edition version that showcases these highly popular models in a stylish and sophisticated new look. 
 
Available on four models – the passive hi-fi L100, L82, and L52, and the powered streaming L75ms music system – these special production versions all include the Black Edition Appearance Package that consists of a high-gloss black painted cabinet finish, unique gold labels on the front and rear of the passive models, and a black Quadrex foam grille with a unique gold JBL logo accent.
In addition, the L100 and L82 will include the Black Edition Performance Package that includes acoustic refinements to all drivers, and an upgraded crossover network with a premium bi-wire input terminal cup.
 
While the popularity and acoustic performance of the Classic Series loudspeakers cannot be denied, their decidedly retro walnut wood veneer and brightly colored grilles may not fit with every décor and interior. The Black Edition Appearance Package transforms their look in a most elegant way. Each enclosure is treated to a multi-step, labor-intensive painting process that starts with a black base coat and ends with a luxurious high-gloss finish, resulting in a mirror-like exterior that reflects its environment to the eye. The high-gloss process also provides a subtle radius to the edges of the cabinet giving it a softer look overall. To complement the black cabinets, special gold labels are used on the passive hi-fi models (L100, L82, and L52) on the front of the loudspeaker around the attenuator level controls and on the rear labels above the input terminal cup. Black Quadrex foam grilles are accented with unique gold JBL badges to visually identify these models as special edition products. The Black Edition Appearance Package elevates these models to a modern feel that is at home in virtually any décor.
 
The larger passive hi-fi models L100 and L82 also include the Black Edition Performance Package that offers improvements over the standard L100 Classic and L82 Classic models. The Performance Package includes an upgraded woofer design that benefits from improvements to its linearity helping to reduce distortion. The tweeter and midrange drivers have also been treated to refinements that deliver higher levels of performance. These updates come with a change to the crossover design to provide dual inputs for use in bi-wiring applications. The new input terminal cup includes dual sets of premium gold-plated binding post terminals providing for a secure connection to a variety of loudspeaker cable and connector types. The Performance Package delivers overall improvements to the sound of these two models adding to their uniqueness within the Classic Series loudspeaker range.
 
The Black Edition models will only be available for a limited time before they are gone forever. They offer a unique combination of award-winning design, legendary JBL sound, and limited-edition appeal in a beautiful product that stands above the rest.
