Designed for the demanding requirements of stadiums and concert venues, where high impact, high fidelity, and high SPLs are all needed, the Danley J3-94 delivers 142dB of continuous output using eighteen drivers that combine using Danley's patented technologies to produce a single phase-coherent signal with "home hi-fi quality" intelligibility and musical impact.

Like the original J1-94, the J3-94 produces a 90deg horizontal by 40deg vertical beam width (with Danley's characteristically steep drop-off outside that beam). However, the new J3-94 is nearly half the J1-94's weight, with slightly less bass output as the compromise.
