JBL MS-A5001

Sophisticated crossover functions

Each of the MS-A5001’s outputs can be low-pass, high-pass or band-pass (low and high) filtered. You can choose among 97 different crossover points between 20Hz and 20kHz, and select crossover slope rates of 6dB, 12dB and 24dB per octave. For further flexibility, crossover settings are completely independent for each output.

DSP technology

The MS-A5001 uses digital signal processing (DSP) for all input-mixer, crossover and output-level controls. Compared with analog crossover circuitry, DSP circuits produce extremely precise results with a minimum of audible artifacts.


Connects to any analog signal

The MS-A5001 features RCA-to-bare-wire adapters to connect to all line-level and speaker-level inputs, and includes a selector switch for matching the amp’s input to the type of signal that it receives.

Digital input mixer

The MS-A5001’s digital input mixer simplifies configuration by allowing any input signal to be routed to either speaker output.
