Since the mid 1940’s, JBL has been widely regarded as the world’s finest professional loudspeaker manufacturer. This reputation is built on a platform of technical innovation that delivers reliability and quality of sound. Founded in 1946, JBL pioneered the production of heavy-duty transducers for concert use. In 1969 Woodstock was powered by JBL and as the sound reinforcement industry grew, JBL became the product of choice for musicians, touring sound companies, stadiums and clubs worldwide.
Playback the last 50 years of music and motion picture recording and one name stands alone: JBL. Before THX and Dolby, before stereo and even hi-fi, there was JBL. Today, JBL’s well-earned reputation has placed its speakers in 70% of all professional institutions, including legendary recording studios, famous concert venues and premier movie houses. Throughout those 50 years of technical breakthroughs, award winning designs and continuing innovations the facts still remain: JBL loudspeakers continue to be the one benchmark for quality, the singular reference for accuracy in the play back of recorded sounds; the leader, the innovator, the authority.
JBL strives to blend ground breaking acoustic technologies, new components, market trends and the needs of performers to create the most advanced products available today. From the lightweight extremely portable EON system, the stunning realism of the Linear Spatial Technology studio monitors through to the thundering power of the Vertec series, JBL has a product for all those serious about their audio.
