The engineering legacy that sets JBL apart from its industry competitors began with a dedicated focus on transducer technology. James B. Lansing founded JBL over 70 years ago and its engineers continue to evolve the science behind transducer design, breaking down barriers and setting new performance standards for the audio industry. As established from the outset by its founder, JBL develops everything from the ground up. This philosophy guarantees that JBL’s respected line of products always go beyond the steep expectations of audio professionals. JBL has amassed a long list of audio achievements, groundbreaking technologies, revolutionary advances in the science of professional audio, many patents, and a variety of awards. It is positioned as the leader in professional audio and is known for consistently blending creativity and science. JBL engineers develop from the ground up, starting from scratch, and are regularly rewarded with patents in the process. These efforts result in technologies, such as Differential Drive woofers, CMCD Cone Midrange drivers, and the D2 Dual Voice Coil Compression Driver, that cover the entire range of professional audio devices. JBL has created transducers that are unparalleled in their ability to deliver extraordinary performance throughout a wide array of applications.
