JL Audio Evolution® C5 Series Coaxial Speaker System


Evolution™ C5 is a serious product, engineered by JL Audio to meet the demands of the toughest acoustic and environmental conditions in the high-fidelity world. It is not about cute buzzwords or the exotic material of the month... it's all about making your music come alive with realism and excitement. C5 woofers and tweeters are precision-built in Germany alongside JL's flagship ZR components, incorporating their exclusive DMA-optimized motor and patented Elevated Frame Cooling technologies. Particular emphasis has been placed on off-axis response and dynamic stability which might not be that important during a five-minute evaluation on a demo board but makes all the difference when installed in your car. The system is comprised of high-end silk dome tweeters, die-cast alloy baskets, and renowned Kurt Müller designed cones and suspensions. In addition, C5 crossover networks are compact and built with premium component parts, including Mylar® capacitors and segmented air-core inductors. Four levels of tweeter attenuation are provided, as well as three levels of mid-range presence adjustment, for twelve possible voicing combinations! The combination of these components provide smooth and transparent audio for the true Audiophile!

Silk Dome Tweeter

JL Audio C5 tweeters incorporate silk dome diaphragms to deliver smooth high-frequency transitions, on and off-axis. Silk is a natural material with inherently good characteristics as a tweeter diaphragm. In addition to being very light in weight, silk exhibits excellent damping properties, which reduces ringing and resonances in the tweeter's passband, leading to a smooth, pleasing high-frequency character free from unnatural sibilance or exaggerated brightness. This is why a Silk Dome Tweeter is preferred by many audiophiles for its overall balance. The small size of the tweeter minimizes tweeter protrusion, allowing it to easily fit behind most factory speaker grilles.


Unparalleled Build and Precision

DMA is JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system and is aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, Evolution C5 motors remain linear in motor force over an extreme range of excursion and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate low end. In addition, JL Audio turns to their partners at Germany's Dr. Kurt Müller & Co. for critical cone and suspension elements that provide unparalleled woofer performance.

Excellent

These speakers were used in the faring of my 07 Road Glide (HD). The sound is outstanding. By far, the best speakers anyone can use.

Great speakers

Lots of other great speakers are in this price category. I went with JL Audio because the rest of my system was JL Audio. Their components are excellent. Good bass, great mids and highs. I don't feel like I missed out on anything. If I were to do it again, I would go JL again. Other speakers are in the same price category, but these have been consistently high quality and have incredible SQ.
