What’s New

Our Luxury Audio team is kicking off the 2026 trade show season with our upcoming exhibition at Integrated Systems Europe – or as it’s more simply known – ISE. Held in Barcelona, Spain at the Fira Barcelona, this show is the largest residential and commercial integration show in Europe. While our colleagues in HARMAN Professional will also be there with an impressive selection of their products, our Luxury Audio team will be on our stand 2F150 in the Residential & Smart Building (Hall 2) where we will be introducing an incredible twenty-four new products from our ARCAM and JBL Synthesis brands. If you’ll be attending, here is a preview of what you’ll see and hear when you meet with our team onsite.

As many of you have been anticipating, we are announcing our new range of Radia AV electronics. This is not simply a cosmetic update, but rather a completely new platform that raises the bar for what is to be expected from a premium AV product. This new range includes three AVRs, an AV preamp/processor, and two AV power amplifiers. The features are state-of-the-art, the sound quality is second to none, and the new Radia chassis design is stunning to behold. 12- and 16-channel models will be available with 9-channels of on-board power for the AVRs, plus full-color front panel displays accompanied by an advanced on-screen setup and operations menu and a Bluetooth remote control that that combine to make these very intuitive to use.

To complement the award-winning Radia hi-fi and all-new AV electronic components, we’re introducing a complete range of Radia loudspeakers to provide a single-brand solution for two-channel and multi-channel systems. Using the world-class resources available to us at our Northridge, California acoustic engineering facility, we’ve developed new transducers and crafted new cabinetry that together deliver impressive performance with a beautiful design that perfectly complements the Radia electronics. In addition, we’ve added anechoic EQ filters to the SA35/SA45 and the new Radia AVRs so that we can further optimize the sound when using them with the Radia loudspeakers. With six models to choose from including bookshelf, floorstanding, center channel, and subwoofer, you can create systems from 2.0 to 7.1 and even greater for sound that puts you in the center of the music and movies.

Our JBL Synthesis brand will be represented in full-force with the global introduction of twelve new products including two AV processors, an AVR, our first powered subwoofer, and eight new SCL loudspeakers for in-wall, on-wall, and in-room applications. Leading the charge, our new AV processors – available in 16- and 24-channel configurations – and our 16-channel AVR sit at the foundation of a complete JBL Synthesis cinema solution working in perfect harmony with our recently introduced SMA power amplifiers. Digital and analog connectivity including DANTE and AES67 networking combine with HDMI 2.1 video and the latest audio codecs plus Dirac Live ART room correction for full customization and calibration in conjunction with SCL loudspeakers and SSW subwoofers.

Expanding the range to address in-room and on-wall applications, the new SCL loudspeakers and SSW powered subwoofer utilize patented JBL acoustic technologies to deliver unparalleled dynamics, clarity, and detail bringing music, movies, and gaming to life in media room and dedicated cinema room spaces. We’ve also created four new in-wall models specifically designed for medium-to large scale systems to provide greater scalability and mix-and-match capabilities with our existing SCL in-ceiling/in-wall loudspeakers and SSW subwoofers. The new models bridge the gap between our small to medium SCL in-wall loudspeakers and the flagship SCL-1 built-in loudspeaker. Attendees will have the chance to hear some of these forthcoming models in our dedicated cinema room demonstration systems. We’ll also have an additional dedicated demonstration space in the main area of the booth that will showcase our unique on-wall compression driver loudspeakers in combination with a large-scale on-wall television and our first powered subwoofer. With nine new loudspeakers and the range of new AV processors and amplifiers available to create a Certified System, you’ll want to make sure to stop by and see and hear why JBL Synthesis systems are the standard by which home cinema excellence is measured.
