Stamford, Conn. – HARMAN International Industries, the premier connected technologies company for automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, announced today that the JBL JAM5000N has been named one of Boating Industry’s 2024 Top Products.
To be eligible for consideration, products or services must have been introduced or significantly updated since January 2023. With hundreds of well-qualified submissions from manufacturers across every segment of the industry for consideration, selecting top products was no easy task for the Boating Industry editorial team. The winning products were chosen based on many factors such as their impact on the industry, innovation and how they advanced their category.
“Our goal with JBL audio systems is to always deliver the best possible sound at the best possible value,” said Kent Jopling, Senior Global Sales Manager, Special Markets. “We’d like to thank the Boating Industry editorial team for extending this recognition our way as we continue to work to enhance everyone’s on-the-water adventures with our products.”
JBL JAM5000N is a mid-level marine audio source unit designed for multi-element environments and engineered to meet the demands of extreme conditions while satisfying the performance requirements for marine audio consumers in this price range. The design is intended to integrate seamlessly into any boat design with an elegant and brand-specific look that is capable of being mounted either in the traditional front mounted or can be back mounted for a cleaner smooth dash finish.
The 2.8-inch color sunlight viewable TFT, IP6 rated marine audio source unit has easy to use controls and an intuitive user interface. At $399, it is robust offering unprecedented value with four channels of RMS power output at 25Wrms.
