Kuala Lumpur, Nov 16: JBL, a leading audio equipment manufacturer renowned for its expertise in all things audio, has introduced its latest line of speakers, the Authentics 200, 300, and 500, alongside the Spinner BT turntable.
Launched at the heart of Sound Roadshow in Kuala Lumpur’s Mid Valley Mega Mall, these classically styled products seamlessly merge yesteryear’s aesthetics with 21st-century audio technology.
Henry Yap, Managing Director of Global Best United (M) Sdn. Bhd. said: “The JBL Authentics line represents the next design evolution, offering quality sound technology wrapped in an attractive home-friendly package. The redesigned Quadrex grille delivers simultaneous voice assistants from Google and Amazon, a unique feature stemming from our 77 years of heritage. Paired with the Spinner BT turntable, users can now enjoy the true recording quality that only vinyl can provide.”
Mitchell Wong, Business Development Manager of Harman International (APAC), remarked, “Only JBL can seamlessly integrate a turntable like the Spinner BT with the retro aesthetics of the Authentics, bridging visions of the past with modern high-fidelity.”
The JBL Authentics speaker range comprises three variations.
The JBL Authentics 500 stands out as the most feature-rich, serving as a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart speaker delivering Dolby Atmos for an immersive room-filling sound experience.
The JBL Authentics 300 offers portable, high-performance sound with an eight-hour built-in battery, while the JBL Authentics 200 fills spaces with powerful, well-balanced stereo sound, featuring 1” tweeters, full-range 5” woofers, and a down-firing 6” passive radiator.
Designed with a seamless user experience in mind, the JBL Authentics speakers feature a new integration developed in collaboration with Amazon and Google, providing listeners simultaneous access to their voice assistants.
The JBL Spinner BT boasts a sleek design with an aluminum platter and tonearm, a black MDF plinth with JBL orange or gold accents, a contemporary front panel, and a hinged dust cover.
The belt drive and motor with an optical sensor ensure precise playback at 33.3 rpm for albums or 45 rpm for EPs and singles.
Bluetooth connectivity with Aptx-HD encoding ensures no sonic compromise, and the aluminum tonearm offers excellent tracking without wearing out the record groove.
