JBL® Introduces Club Series Speaker and Amplifier Line for the Car Audio Market

CES 2016, LAS VEGAS – Today, HARMAN International Industries, Incorporated (NYSE:HAR), the premier connected technologies company for automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, announced the JBL® Club Series Speaker and Amplifier line. Providing a high-quality experience for consumers who do their listening on the road, the JBL Club Series delivers phenomenal sound and smart design at a great price point.

The JBL Club speakers are available in a range of standard sizes with an all-new compact footprint that allows them to fit in just about any vehicle on the road today. The series also boasts advanced design technologies, such as woofers with UV-resistant polypropylene cones, engineered to deliver clean, non-resonant sound quality under the demanding heat and humidity conditions of the car or truck environment.

With its design emphasis on high efficiency, the new Club speakers feature HARMAN’s proprietary Plus One™ woofer cone architecture, PEI balanced dome tweeters and high-sensitivity motor designs. The result is maximum sound pressure levels from even modestly-powered sources, such as factory-installed stereos, making the series ideal for a wide range of applications. Comprised of models to fit nearly every vehicle, the Club speaker line meets the needs of discriminating car audiophiles without breaking the bank.

The high-performance JBL Club Amplifiers deliver world-class JBL power from an aggressively-styled chassis built to fit today’s space-limited vehicles. Available in 4-channel, 5-channel, and mono models, the new Club amplifiers feature variable crossovers and bass EQ for precise acoustic control and tuning, plus high- and low-level inputs that enable them to perform with both factory and aftermarket head units. They also feature dedicated connections for several advanced vehicle technologies, including many driver assistance systems, and the HARMAN HALOsonic system, a suite of acoustic solutions that cancel road noise for better-sounding music.

“We wanted to make great sound accessible for our customers no matter what vehicle they are driving. The Club Speakers and Amplifiers bring JBL’s legendary sound to life by amplifying the driving experience with the best in audio, functionality and design,” said Jeffery Fay, VP and GM of Aftermarket Services at HARMAN.
