Harman presents new products from JBL & Co.

The Harman Luxury Audio Group has presented its latest product highlights at the audio & HiFi trade fair HIGH END in Munich. This time, all brands of the expert for uncompromising audio technology were allowed to shine. So expect us in the near future technology highlights from JBL, Arcam and Mark Levinson.

JBL comes up trumps

Harman was already able to cause a stir at CES 2023 with its JBL Classics series . After all, we have known the HiFi brand for a few years almost only as a source of high-sounding and resistant Bluetooth speakers. There the series of high-quality speakers for the living area, now officially presented in Munich, falls completely out of the grid. The series is composed of various elements that all share the pursuit of very good sound performance. At the heart is the SA550 Classic. This is an integrated integrated amplifier. The MP350 Classic streaming media player, a CD player in the form of the CD350 Classic, and the TT350 turntable are also part of the lineup. However, Harman did not only present source devices.

On top of that, passive as well as active speakers are coming from JBL to complete the Classic series. In interaction, the technology highlights should not only offer a real HiFi pleasure. The classic and timeless design also offers something for the eye. The updated Mark II editions of JBL L82 and JBL L100 also deserve the epithet Classic. Here Harman emphasizes above all the higher performance. The woofer, midrange and tweeter are to benefit from the increase. On top of that, the crossover design has been extensively revised. But JBL also scores points away from the Classic series. So there was the 4329P Studio Monitor, a new speaker system that relies on active speakers. Like the JBL 4305P, these are also available in a White Edition.

Harman is setting itself up broadly

But also away from JBL Harman had something to show. For example, from Mark Levinson comes the No. 5909, a new premium headphone with active noise cancellation (ANC).

On top of that, the noble brand scores with a new edition of its 5000 series. ARCAM, another brand rich in tradition and under the auspices of Harman, was also part of the party. This brand had AV receivers and processors for home theater.
