Coming Up in February

At HARMAN Explore for CES 2023 in January, Harman Luxury Audio introduced many exciting products including a whole range of JBL Classic Hi-Fi components. The JBL SA550 Classic integrated amplifier, JBL CD350 Classic CD Player and JBL MP350 Classic streamer will all be the focus of a module coming in February which will give a complete run down of all features and benefits.

Later in February we have another new module coming with a focus on Class G amplification. There will be comparisons with other types of amplifiers with a look at what the benefits are at home. This module will give you confidence to talk about Class G to customers concisely.

At the HARMAN Explore / CES 2023 event held in Las Vegas, NV earlier this month, HARMAN Luxury Audio introduced the world to the JBL 4329P Studio Monitor Loudspeaker System. The 4329P introduction comes one year after the introduction of the award-winning 4305P Studio Monitor – the smallest and first powered model in the studio monitor family range.

The 4329P takes listening to the next level with its step-up compression driver, larger 8-inch woofer, and twice the amplifier power versus its smaller sibling. The integrated streaming engine provides both wired and wireless network audio capabilities via built-in Google Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth 5.3 aptX Adaptive audio. A 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution DAC ensures music comes across with the highest fidelity, while MQA technology enables playback of MQA audio files with the sound of the original master recording. And for those with extensive digital music libraries, the 4329P will be certified as a Roon-ready product.

In addition to premium wireless audio, the 4329P provides extensive connections for analog and digital physical sources, including USB-B, optical (TOSLINK), and a 3.5mm stereo input. Also included is a professional-grade combination XLR / ¼-inch TRS input for use with balanced or unbalanced signals.

The training will highlight how the 4329P fits into the overall studio monitor family, how it compares to the 4305P and specific details of what allows the 4329P to perform at the high level that it achieves. It will also touch on key applications intended for the 4329P to assist in your overall understanding of this speaker system.

Watch for the release of the learning module on Harman University and then join us in learning about the JBL 4329P, a speaker system that rivals the performance of much larger and far more expensive passive loudspeakers and does so without the added complexity of outboard components.
