High-performance audio products designed for the next generation of music and movie enthusiasts  

2 December, 2024 – JBL has announced the JBL Modern Audio (MA) AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers, high-performance home theatre solutions for the next generation of music and movie enthusiasts. 

JBL MA AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers are crafted to blend seamlessly into modern home interiors, and refreshingly simple to install, connect, and upgrade. They offer consumers a unified and cohesive system that combines simplicity, design, quality, and scalability, all at an affordable price. 

Designed and engineered to function together, they provide the perfect out-of-the-box solution for all types of home entertainment enthusiasts, from those looking to level up their existing system to those who aspire to experience high-performance component immersive audio. 

Harnessing JBL’s rich expertise in cinema sound, including digital amplification and patented loudspeaker technology, these imaginative products take the complexities out of the home cinema experience. 

A home theatre solution without the complexity  

The JBL MA AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers were purposefully designed as a simple, turnkey system, both easy to understand and simple to install. Buying a single branded solution engineered to operate in unity removes the need to figure out which components to combine, giving users the peace of mind that comes from knowing that everything they need is provided. Setup and upgrades are equally simple so users can spend less time installing their system and more time enjoying it. 

Redefining simplicity 

Featuring intuitive functionality, ease of use, and seamless integration, the JBL MA AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers have simplicity at their core. Using the EZ Set EQ mobile app, users can perfectly calibrate the system to match their space in minutes. The Wi-Fi-enabled audio/video receivers (AVRs) feature “Works with SmartThings” integration lets users create automated routines that control their other Internet of Things (IoT) devices with just one simple button press.  

The system is compatible with a wide variety of audio platforms. Whether users want to connect music from their mobile phone via Apple AirPlay, Chromecast, Bluetooth pairing, or streaming from Spotify, users can count on a smooth and seamless audio experience. 

Design that stands out 

The JBL MA AV Receivers and Stage 2 Loudspeakers match today’s lifestyle, both in the way they function and the way they look. Slim and sleek, with a contemporary, playful design, the entire range fits perfectly with modern interiors with JBL’s two-color options: Latte and Espresso.   

Scalable to user’s needs 

Whether users are just starting out with a basic two-channel system, upgrading from a soundbar or simple home audio system, or looking to build a high-end home theatre setup featuring 8K HDMI video, Dolby Atmos® immersive sound, and DTS:X, this product range can be scaled accordingly. Moreover, the performance of each model has been optimised both individually and as a system, giving users the freedom to create the setup they want without ever having to sacrifice on sound quality. 

JBL: The gold standard in sound 

With more than 75 years of experience, JBL is the go-to audio provider for movie theatres, recording studios, and luxury home theatres around the globe, and whose engineers have won coveted Academy Awards, including two in 2002 for groundbreaking technical innovations. Developed at the JBL Center of Acoustics Excellence in Northridge, California, the systems’ advanced acoustics, featuring next generation patented high-definition imaging (HDI) waveguides for room-filling sound and anodised tweeters for crystal clear highs, were designed by the same engineers who create the most advanced high-performance audio systems on the market today.
