JBL Authentics Speakers unleash a modern musical take on a classic design
JBL has breathed new life into classic hifi design with its latest home speaker solution, the JBL Authentics speaker range.
Nov 15, 2023
Consisting of three models, the JBL Authentics speaker range is designed to provide exemplary stand-alone sound, or be used in conjunction with JBL's Spinner BT Turntable.
JBL says its heritage products with modern technologies take nostalgic audio experiences to new heights with immersive sound, wireless connectivity, and sleek finishes.
Blended with contemporary touches like softer flowing edges and a subtle convex form that references the force of powerful sound waves, JBL says the three-model JBL Authentics speaker range symbolises the best of the brand's illustrious past and innovative present.
"JBL’s heritage is a huge part of our brand story. JBL was the speaker brand that powered Woodstock in 1969; we have been the brand of choice for music studios since the golden age of rock," says Michael Sherman, Senior Strategy Manager at JBL New Zealand.
"Being part of musical history has always been important to us, and the JBL Authentics range pays homage to our origins, while delivering the best audio quality, unique design, and features of the modern era. The classics never grow old, and the JBL Authentics range draws from our iconic past with its retro design while delivering superior sound and technology such as Dolby Atmos and simultaneous voice assistants."
The JBL Authentics speaker range draws on JBL’s storied history with a modern twist, with its design paying homage to the legendary JBL L100 speaker from the 1970s. With a premium aluminium frame, custom synthetic leather-wrapped enclosure, and a reimagined Quadrex grille, the JBL Authentics range is designed to impress.
The range allows listeners to experience superior audio performance. Available in three variations, the JBL Authentics 500 is the most feature-packed in the series, offering up a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart speaker which delivers Dolby Atmos to envelop listeners in immersive room-filling sound.
The JBL Authentics 300 offers portable, high-performance sound with a built-in 8-hour battery, while the JBL Authentics 200 fills any space with powerful well-balanced stereo sound thanks to its 1” tweeters, full-range 5” woofers and down-firing 6” passive radiator.
Designed with seamless user experience in mind, the JBL Authentics speakers also feature a new integration built in collaboration with Amazon and Google. This technology provides listeners simultaneous access to their preferred voice assistant software.
