JBL®, a lifestyle audio brand owned by Harman International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co, LTD., is well-known for creating audio equipment with exceptional quality and immersive audio experiences for both consumers and professional markets. More than half of the world’s movie theatres, sports stadiums, and music venues utilise JBL professional speakers. The consumer range of portable speakers, headphones, and home theatre speakers is the world’s fastest-growing brand for audiophiles, digital natives, and eAthletes.
“The new JBL Bar series takes entertainment to a whole new level as the technology produces the surround and height effects that puts people right into the action while they are ensconced comfortably at home,” said Mr. Henry Yap, Managing Director of Global Best United (M) Sdn Bhd.
Each JBL Bar has Harman’s PureVoice technology, which uses HARMAN’s proprietary algorithm to maximise speech clarity even when powerful sound effects take over, allowing moviegoers to follow even the most intricate narrative.
Through the new JBL One app, music fans can effortlessly connect a soundbar to online music services through WiFi with compatible speakers and explore integrated music platforms to find new songs and artists. Users may personalise their listening experience with the new app’s completely configurable EQ settings.
