OUTDOOR
The design of the set paid much attention, JBL SB300 is made in a techno style, which is characterized by sharp angles and straight lines. The subwoofer looks vaguely like the helmet of Darth Vader in Star Wars, and the menacing-looking soundboard looks like the weapon of some intergalactic soldier who has unwittingly ended up in his home cinema. Monochrome black coloring of the components leaves no doubt that if we are not facing a weapon of aliens, then we are facing the details of a spaceship.
And seriously, this set is performed in the style that most fully harmonizes with the appearance of modern flat-panel TV sets, it is not accidental that the monochromatic color of the soundbar and the subwoofer matches the characteristic color of the panel of turned-off LCD TV set.
