The history of JBL Cinema Speakers is the history of cinema itself. When a company has a legacy nearly eight decades long, there’s little doubt that its ear is planted firmly on the ground. In fact, its namesake and founder James B. Lansing began his company building the world’s first cinema speakers. That commitment to the core components of cinema speaker design is why, today, JBL Cinema speakers are found in 6 out of 10 movie theatres around the world. JBL has consistently set the bar on just how good the movies can sound. That’s why the majority of Dolby equipped cinemas worldwide use JBL loudspeakers. It’s also why Lucasfilm engineers chose JBL loudspeakers as the standard with which the first THX licensed commercial theatres were developed. Unparalleled in experience, technical leadership and customer support: a few reasons why, today, JBL speakers also grace the stages of the most coveted theatrical venues, such as The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Samuel Goldwyn Theatre, The Directors Guild of America and The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
No other manufacturer provides a wider, more cost-effective range of solutions to take on the demands of modern cinema sound reproduction than JBL Professional. With one of the longest track records in the industry and JBL's legendary reputation for quality, reliability, and innovation, its easy to see why today more than three quarters of all cinema loudspeakers sold worldwide come from JBL Professional.
JBL Professional offers three complete lines of enclosed cinema loudspeaker systems, along with discreet components and electronics, to meet the needs of any cinema application — from the smallest rooms to the most exotic custom installations, renovations and retrofits.
