James Loudspeaker SPL3-CS - Dual Monaural Bar

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker SPL3-CS is a dual monaural on-wall bar that houses two independent channels in a single low-profile enclosure, built for commercial AV rooms and home theaters that need two discrete feeds above or below a display. As a dual monaural soundbar, it supports configurations where two separate channels share one bar, such as dual-zone or split-feed front-stage installs. This passive bar gives integrators a display-matched, two-channel-independent solution in one form factor. It targets projects that require channel independence without two separate enclosures on the wall.

Product Description

The SPL3-CS places two independent monaural channels in one slim on-wall enclosure, each fed and driven separately rather than as a linked stereo pair. It operates passively, with each channel driven by its own external amplifier channel, giving integrators full control over routing, power, and processing for each feed. The dual monaural format is useful where two discrete signals must originate from a single bar position, distinct from the standard stereo or LCR front-stage models in the lineup. Its thin enclosure keeps the hardware visually subordinate to the display while maintaining full independence between the two channels.

This dual monaural design sits apart from the standard SPL3 stereo and LCR bars, such as the SPL3-LR and SPL3-LCR, by keeping its two channels fully independent rather than linked as a front stage. Additional models are available in the James Loudspeaker collection through Creation Networks.

Key Features

Typical Applications

• Dual-zone or split-feed audio from a single bar position
• Home theaters and media rooms needing two independent channels
• On-wall installs requiring channel independence above or below a display
• Commercial AV spaces with discrete two-feed requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What does dual monaural mean here?
It means two fully independent channels share one enclosure, rather than being linked as a stereo pair.

How is the SPL3-CS powered?
It is passive and requires two channels of external amplification, one per channel.

Where does the SPL3-CS mount?
It is an on-wall bar designed to mount above or below a flat-panel display.

How does it differ from the SPL3-LR?
The SPL3-CS keeps its two channels fully independent, while the SPL3-LR is a linked stereo pair.

What installs is it suited to?
It suits dual-zone or split-feed installs that need two discrete signals from one bar position.
