Published driver sizes in mm are retained literally. Rectangular racetrack sizes remain in the type text, not a fabricated circular diameter. Rear rows will be sourced separately because the manual combines their counts across the pair.7Reviewtechradar.com/televisions/soundbars/jbl-bar-1000mk2-soundbar-reviewRead 8 October 2026Design explicitly identifies one racetrack and one upward full-range driver per surround. Maker manual supplies exact millimetre sizes, but combines rear counts across pair. What Hi-Fi Build section independently confirms per-enclosure arrangement. Main bar and sub rows retain maker evidence.
