The JBL brand is mainly associated with headphones, portable speakers and party speakers in the minds of young people. Less well known are their HiFi class products for more demanding music listeners and lovers of high-quality surround sound for home cinema.
However, JBL has a major competitive advantage in this segment – brand awareness. To most young people, brands like Mark Levinson, Arcam, Bowers & Wilkins don’t say much, but everyone associates JBL with sound reproduction.
This week, JBL presented a new product family of JBL MA AV receivers and JBL Stage 2 speakers. The intention of the creators of these products is to transfer the experience from cinemas to living rooms. However, JBL does not forget about stereo sets that will raise the sound output of any TV to a new level. The news combines decades of JBL’s experience in sounding professional cinemas with the latest technologies for home use. The new JBL MA receiver range will delight you with its sound performance and support for the most modern surround sound formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. At the same time, it brings advanced connectivity options, including wireless streaming and support for the latest gaming technologies. In addition, JBL designers were able to combine high performance with an elegant, minimalist appearance that fits into modern interiors. There must also be a practical mobile application that facilitates streaming from a variety of sources, and also allows for user calibration in the given space.
AV Receivery JBL MA Series
The new product family of AV receivers includes the MA310, MA510, MA710, MA7100HP and MA9100HP models, which cover a wide range of needs, while also being chosen by those on a tight budget.
