Gotham® v2

Your first look will tell you that you are looking at something special... your first listen will confirm it beyond a shadow of a doubt. The beauty of the Gotham® v2 extends well beyond its exotic design and exceptional craftsmanship, aiming right at the emotional core of musical and cinematic enjoyment. This is a subwoofer system with limits that exceed the needs of the typical home theater application, delivering a weight and integrity of reproduction that can only come from a system that is always in control. Its allure lies as much in its ability to convey subtleties as in its prodigious output capabilities. It is simply devastating.

Unprecedented

“This subwoofer really leaves former subwoofer-hater Jonathan Valin at a loss for words. It is so good at what it does—which is deliver power, clarity, color, texture, and sheer oomph in the bottom octaves — that he’s never heard anything that can beat it in the bass, either in a subwoofer or a full-range floorstander.” - The Absolute Sound, Editors’ Choice Awards

Built like no other

Each Gotham® enclosure takes over two weeks to produce in our Miramar, Florida factory, passing through multiple phases of fabrication and finishing.

The body of the enclosure is molded in solid fiberglass with proprietary damping technologies and carefully engineered internal bracing to create a highly inert structure. Wall thickness exceeds 1-inch (25 mm) and requires precision CNC equipment to perform secondary machining of all openings before our skilled craftsmen prepare, finish and hand polish each one to the highest furniture-grade standards.

Final assembly, inspection and testing are carried out in a “clean room” environment to ensure that the Gotham’s function is every bit as impressive as its form. No other subwoofer in the world is built like this... and no other subwoofer performs like it.

Technology

JL Audio’s engineering department is at the forefront of research into fundamental loudspeaker behavior. We have developed proprietary electromagnetic and suspension analysis systems and invested heavily in state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing. This has borne subwoofer drivers widely considered as reference standards for linear displacement and dynamic stability. It has also resulted in numerous U.S. and International Patents issued for technologies that refine and extend the performance envelope of the dynamic driver.

Separate woofer and control panel grilles allow control access without removing the larger grille and also offer a choice of three distinct visual presentations.

D.A.R.O.

With the included, laboratory-grade calibration microphone, JL Audio’s exclusive D.A.R.O. technology uses a powerful on-board DSP to automatically optimize the subwoofer’s in-room frequency response. This leads to a superb listening experience, no matter where the subwoofer is placed.
