JBL Pulse 5

Description

Light up the night

Pulse 5 shines through the night with an amazing, high-resolution, 360-degree LED lightshow.

Bring more than music to the party with the Pulse 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker from JBL. In addition to the 360° 20W speaker array.

Sound you can see

Illuminate the moment with the eye-catching, personalizable, 360-degree light show of the JBL Pulse 5 in sync with the beat of your music as its upfiring driver unleashes deep bass and bold JBL Original Pro Sound in all directions. The sturdy strap lets you take the portable dustproof and waterproof Bluetooth speaker from your backyard to the beach and beyond. Dance until dawn with 12 hours of play time or use PartyBoost to pair multiple compatible speakers whenever you want to increase the sound—and enhance the experience.

Despite the ‘focus’ on the lighting technology, JBL installs a sophisticated sound technology, which, hoever, differs in configuration, arrangement and dimensioning from the Charge 5. A fully active 2-way arrangement with a 1.6 cm tweeter and a 6.4 cm low-midrange driver is found in the Pulse 5 in an unusual location: the two drivers sit facing upwards under a plastic grille decorated with JBL logos. Two Class D amplifiers fire the two drivers with 30 and 10 watts, respectively.

Experience shows that the fully active separation brings an extra clarity when the woofer is already running at its limit. To prevent this from happening so quickly, another passive membrane in the base area supports the lower bass range. JBL allows itself the luxury of giving the bass radiator an LED light ring. To allow light and sound to escape sideways, the Bluetooth speaker stands on three legs made of rubberized plastic.
