“It’s very rare that you are lucky enough to work for a brand that has been around for 75 years,” says Marcus Fry, General Manager of Harman AUNZ.
“And when that brand brought sound to cinemas and is synonymous with major stadiums, concert halls, event centres all the way down to pool and garage parties, it’s a pretty exciting time for the JBL team.
“JBL truly has been off the charts for 75 years and we are looking forward to the innovation and epic sound we will continue to bring to the next 75.”
To celebrate its Diamond Anniversary, JBL has launched the limited edition JBL L100 Classic 75 — an exclusive take on the legendary best-selling JBL L100 loudspeaker.
The L100 Classic 75 has the same iconic, 1970’s-style retro design as the JBL L100 Classic, with vintage JBL styling including an iconic black Quadrex foam grille and exquisite teak wood veneer cabinets.
