HARMAN Professional Solutions has announced the expansion of the JBL Professional Control Contractor Series with the addition of several new loudspeakers and subwoofers for a range of commercial sound installations.
New models include wall-mount, pendant and landscape loudspeakers as well as subwoofers. All are outfitted with multitap transformers for use in distributed systems, and are switchable for direct operation.
“JBL’s new loudspeakers and subwoofers really check all the boxes for integrators,” says Rick Kamlet, senior manager, installed loudspeakers, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “They provide power and clarity in a range of challenging acoustic environments, and they don’t just sound great, they’re incredibly versatile. With sonic signatures that complement JBL’s existing installation products, they can be mixed and matched to create the perfect solution for any application or budget. And they’re absolutely gorgeous.”
New models include:

Its driver complement includes an 8-inch Kevlar-reinforced low-frequency driver with a 2-inch voice coil.
