From The Audio Files

It has been a busy and rewarding summer for the HARMAN Luxury Audio portfolio, with strong show activity and media coverage spanning multiple continents. Following our global debuts at High End Vienna 2026, where the JBL Summit Everest and K2 loudspeakers and ARCAM’s 50^th anniversary products drew significant attention, the momentum carried directly into the Australian Hi-Fi Show and the Hi-Fi Expo Singapore. At the Asia Expo, the JBL Summit Everest quite literally took the high ground, with press noting its commanding presence on the show floor. Meanwhile, the ARCAM A50 Signature and CD25 continue to earn recognition globally, appearing in top gear roundups and anniversary tributes across the audiophile and lifestyle press.

The JBL 80^th anniversary activations are also continuing to generate meaningful coverage, from retrospectives on James B. Lansing’s legacy to recognition of JBL as one of the great enduring hi-fi brands still pushing boundaries today. Looking ahead, we are gearing up for Audio Advice Live 2026 in Raleigh, and we expect it to be another strong moment for the portfolio. More to come on that front. In the meantime, enjoy this month’s highlights below.
