LAS VEGAS — January 6^, 2011 — JVC Mobile Entertainment offers a selection of Arsenal Series speakers to appeal to specialist retailers and enthusiasts.

The Arsenal Series component speakers CS-ARS500, CS-ARS650 and CS-ARS680 feature an illuminated crossover network and a glass fiber laminated hemp cone.

The advanced Arsenal Series coaxial speakers CS-AR500, CS-AR650, CS-AR680 and CS-AR690 feature a tweeter voice coil that delivers point source radiation and box-in-line design for crossover networks.

All Arsenal speakers have a sensitivity of 92dB/Wm.The two-year standard warranty applies to all Arsenal products.

A slim design on Arsenal component and coaxial speakers allows for installation in a wide range of cars. This is enabled by application of neodymium magnets and aluminum frames. Tweeter voice coil within the woofer also delivers point source radiation on component models.

Hemp fiber construction provides natural mid and high frequency sound and creates a smooth transition between woofer and tweeter crossover frequencies.

Included T3 Chassis (Thermal Transfer Technology) transfers heat away from the voice coil to the speaker’s aluminum basket. The aluminum basket acts like a radiator for the T3 process providing protection against overheated voice coils. The center piece on an Arsenal component driver is connected to the speaker’s T3 structure, and efficiently dissipates heat from inside of the motor structure while its unique shape design also blends and focuses high-frequency sound waves toward the listener’s ears.

The Solid Disc Magnet focuses more magnetic power upward toward the speaker’s voice coil—creating more power handling and SPL.

The KS-AR9501D Arsenal Amplifier offers a slightly curved main unit for smooth design with multiple installation options. The illuminating panel and smoked controlled cover assist in easy under seat installation and other hard-to-see installing areas of your car. Encased in the KS-AR9501D are the large control keys, which need no tools for adjustment and are 2cm in diameter.

Compact and versatile, the JVC logo plate can be attached in four different ways for flexible settings. Cascade stacking allows for pairing of multiple amps and is useful with the external bridging function. The KS-AR9501D’s external bridging can be used through the optional pin connector, allowing the use of multiple amplifiers at once. Using one unit as your master, and the other as the slave, you can take two 1500W amps and produce a total of 3000W at 2Ω. All adjustments and control amplifiers in this configuration are done through the master unit, leaving the slave unit locked. Additionally, the RM-RK130, a wired bass boost remote control, can be added to the master unit. The KS-AR9501D digital amp is now available with an MSRP of $649.95.
