The JBL Modern Audio AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers are high-performance audio products designed for the next generation of music and movie enthusiasts: stylish, intuitive, scalable, and attainable, says the maker.
JBL has announced the JBL Modern Audio (MA) AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers. JBL crafts the MA AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers to blend into modern home interiors, and the new models have been made to be simple to install, connect and upgrade. They offer consumers a unified and cohesive system that combines simplicity, design, quality, and scalability – all at an affordable price.
Designed and engineered to function together, JBL says they provide the perfect out-of-the-box solution for all types of home entertainment enthusiasts, from those looking to level up their existing system to those who aspire to experience high-performance component immersive audio.
Harnessing JBL’s expertise in cinema sound, including digital amplification and patented loudspeaker technology, these products have been created to take the complexities out of the home cinema experience.
A Home Theatre Solution Without the Complexity
Many consumers find the home theatre component purchasing experience intimidating and overly complex, argues JBL. Not so with JBL MA AV receivers and Stage 2 loudspeakers, says the maker, as they were purposefully designed as a simple, turnkey system that is easy to understand and simple to install. Buying a single branded solution engineered to operate in unity removes the need to figure out which components to combine, giving users the peace of mind that comes from knowing that JBL provides everything they need. Setup and upgrades are equally simple, so users can spend less time installing their system and more time enjoying it.
Redefining Simplicity
Featuring intuitive functionality, ease of use, and easy integration, the JBL MA AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers have simplicity at their core. Users can perfectly calibrate the system to match their space in minutes using the EZ Set EQ mobile app. At the same time, the Wi-Fi-enabled AVRs feature ‘Works with SmartThings’ integration, allowing users to create automated routines that control their other IOT devices with just one simple button press. The system is compatible with a wide variety of audio platforms. Whether they want to connect their music from their mobile phone via Apple AirPlay or Chromecast, Bluetooth pairing, or streaming from Spotify, users can count on a smooth and seamless audio experience.
Design That Stands Out
The JBL MA AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers have been created to match today’s lifestyles, both in the way they function and the way they look. Slim and sleek, with a contemporary, playful design, the ranges fit perfectly with modern interiors thanks to our two-colour options of Latte and Espresso.
JBL: The Gold Standard in Sound
With more than 75 years of experience, JBL says it is the go-to audio provider for movie theatres, recording studios and luxury home theatres around the globe, whose engineers have won coveted Academy Awards, including two in 2002, for groundbreaking technical innovations. Developed at the JBL Center of Acoustics Excellence in Northridge, California, the systems’ advanced acoustics – featuring next-generation patented HDI waveguides for room-filling sound and anodized tweeters for crystal-clear highs – were designed by the same engineers who create the most advanced high-performance audio systems on the market today.
Scalable to User’s Needs
Whether users are just starting out with a basic two-channel system, upgrading from a soundbar or simple home audio system, or looking to build a high-end home theatre setup featuring 8K HDMI video, Dolby Atmos immersive sound and DTS:X, they can scale these product ranges accordingly. Moreover, each model’s performance has been optimised individually and as a system, giving users the freedom to create the setup they want without sacrificing sound quality.
“JBL is recognized as the leader in high-performance cinematic experiences, so it should come as no surprise that our new line of home cinema products punches above its weight class,” says Dave Tovissi, Vice President & General Manager, Luxury Audio at HARMAN International. “Solving for modern consumer behaviours and concerns was front and centre when we developed these products. We designed the systems to blend perfectly into today’s lifestyle, giving users the sound quality and simplicity of use they always wanted from a home theatre system but never found – until now.”
