Immersive reference sound: JBL Synthesis expands its portfolio
With the presentation of nine new custom loudspeakers and three new processing and amplifier components, JBL Synthesis marks the most extensive portfolio expansion in recent years. The aim is to implement immersive audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or Auro-3D even more precisely and flexibly in high-end installations. The new SCL speakers are consistently designed for use in bespoke home cinemas and media rooms and offer architectural flexibility without compromising on sound quality.
The speaker line-up is complemented by three next-generation AV processors and amplifiers. These are designed to efficiently control complex multi-channel setups and drive even large speaker configurations with ease. JBL Synthesis is based on a system-oriented approach: all components are coordinated with each other and can be seamlessly integrated into professional installation environments. The products presented at ISE 2026 are intended to offer installers and planners new freedom in the realization of reference home cinemas and at the same time underline the brand’s high quality standards.
ARCAM Radia: AV premiere and return to loudspeaker construction
ARCAM is also using ISE 2026 to take a strategically important step. With the AV models of the Radia series, the long-established manufacturer is presenting audio-video products within this design and technology line for the first time. The new range includes the AV receivers AVA15, AVA25 and AVA35, the 16-channel AV processor AVP45 and the power amplifiers PA4 and PA9. ARCAM thus covers both compact and high-performance home cinema configurations and builds on a long history of audiophile AV development.
At the same time, ARCAM is celebrating a return to loudspeaker design. The new Radia loudspeaker family completes the portfolio and offers an integrated system for music and home theater applications. The line-up includes two bookshelf and two floorstanding speakers as well as a center speaker and a subwoofer. A special focus is placed on harmonious coordination with the in-house electronics, which makes it possible to create complete systems with a coherent sound. In the year of the company’s 50th anniversary, ARCAM is thus sending out a clear signal of continuity and innovation at the same time.
Conclusion
With the new products at ISE 2026, the HARMAN Luxury Audio Group demonstrates how consistently immersive audio technologies can be further developed. JBL Synthesis is clearly aimed at professional high-end installations, while ARCAM presents the Radia series, a versatile and closed system for home theater and hi-fi applications. Prices and specific market availability have not yet been announced in detail at the time of the trade fair, but all new products can be experienced live for the first time at the HARMAN stand 2F150 and are expected to become available in the course of 2026.
