JBL, a unit of Harman International Industries, Incorporated, designs and builds audio equipment for consumers, the entertainment industry and the automotive industry.

JBL takes its decades of experience making speakers and other equipment for concert halls and other public venues, and uses it to create audio equipment for consumers around the world. You can enjoy a movie, ball game or concert as part of a huge crowd or in your home - but either way, you can catch all of the sounds with superb clarity through JBL components.

The engineers, executives, and other employees of JBL watched these changes with considerable interest, but none of the changes swayed them from their usual concern: making great audio products. They’ve been setting new trends in fashion by partnering with sportswear company Roxy for a line of colourful headphones. They’ve been devising speakers and players for fresh sources of entertainment such as high-definition television, Blu-ray Disc™ technology and Apple’s latest iPod and iPhone models. And they’ve been keeping an eye on every other new opportunity coming down the road.

What exactly are those opportunities? Well, we can’t say what they are (we have to have some corporate secrets, after all), but we can say one thing. As JBL’s people continue the traditions of high-quality craftsmanship and technological innovation that have always marked the company, we’re sure that Jim Lansing would be proud of us.
