JBL Professional 9350 (HPD9350) - High-Output 3-Way Surround Theater Speaker with Configurable Pattern

The JBL Professional 9350 (trade name HPD9350) is a three-way surround theater loudspeaker featuring a 15" Differential Drive woofer and dual tweeter compression drivers, designed to deliver high output and even coverage in today's exhibition spaces, including immersive setups. Its architecture integrates JBL's proprietary technologies — Dual Dissimilar Arraying , Acoustic Divider Waveguide and bi-pole wall decoupling — that allow the coverage pattern to be sculpted with a simple switch for side or rear wall installation. With 350 W AES (2 h) , maximum SPL 130 dB continuous / 133 dB peak and sensitivity 102 dB (1 W/1 m) , the 9350 delivers impact and clarity for dialogue, effects and music, while maintaining tonal consistency with the display speakers.

Main features

• High-impact 3-way design : 15” 265H-1 woofer and two HF drivers (1.5” 2408H + 1” 2414H ), with passive crossover at 2,200 Hz requiring only one amplification channel per speaker.
• Configurable SIDE/REAR pattern : adjustable coverage with switch to optimize distribution from side or rear wall.
• Coverage (-6 dB) : horizontal rear/side 70° / 120° ; vertical rear/side 50° / 30° . Front of the enclosure tilted downward by 10° to aim at the seating area.
• Frequency range : 40 Hz – 18 kHz (±3 dB) ; 34 Hz ​​– 20 kHz (-10 dB) , with extended response for ambient LFE effects and music.
• Power and output : 350 W AES (2 h) ; max. SPL 130 dB continuous / 133 dB peak ; 8 Ω nominal; sensitivity 102 dB (1 W/1 m) .
• Professional construction : plywood enclosure with black grating and terminal block ( barrier strip ) for secure connection.
• Mounting : Compatible with JBL 2520 Quick Mount Surround Bracket (wall mount; not recommended for ceiling mounting).
• Dimensions and weight : 769.6 × 647.7 × 419.1 mm (height × width × depth); 29.03 kg per unit.

Product benefits

• Tailored Coverage : Configurable SIDE/REAR pattern and waveguides generate a “sculpted beam” that improves uniformity across all rows, reducing hot spots and acoustic shadows.
• Maximum intelligibility and impact : high sensitivity and dual HF motor for clean transients and clear dialogue even at high levels.
• Easy integration : internal passive filtering; a single channel amplifier per speaker simplifies wiring and reduces amplification costs.
• Fewer artifacts per wall : The Acoustic Divider Waveguide creates a low-frequency bi-pole that mitigates the “combs” of reflections typical in wall installations.
• Cinema reliability : Professional-grade JBL components and dedicated accessories for a robust, repeatable installation.

Use cases

• Commercial movie theaters with 5.1/7.1 formats and immersive systems (e.g., configurations with separate side and rear surround channels).
• Private screening rooms, auditoriums, and post-production centers that require high sound pressure and controlled coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it self-powered? No. It's an 8 Ω passive speaker that requires one amplifier channel per unit.
• Which wall mount is compatible? The JBL 2520 Quick Mount Surround Bracket is designed for the 9300 series (including the 9350) and is not recommended for ceiling mounting.
• How do I choose the SIDE or REAR pattern? Use the pattern switch on the speaker. Select SIDE for a side wall or REAR for a rear wall, optimizing coverage angles.
• What amplification is recommended? A channel capable of delivering power appropriate to the installation; in professional cinema environments, compatible Crown DSi/DCi amplifiers are used.
