JBL DANCE CLUB SYSTEMS

JBL Professional is the premium loudspeaker choice for the world’s most electrifying dance club experiences. Combining state-of-the-art technology with revolutionary engineering designs, it’s no wonder top dance club owners rely on JBL Professional to rock their house.

Uncompromising Reliability

The night-after-night demands of dance club sound can be brutally punishing on a loudspeaker system. That’s why JBL Professional maintains the highest reliability standards in the industry, subjecting all its loudspeaker designs to a rigorous 100-hour torture test, with peak power of 4 times the continuous rated power. Subjecting the speaker to more stress and strain than a loudspeaker would ever experience in actual use, all JBL

Professional designs on the market must survive this grueling test. No one in the industry uses a more demanding standard.

“This club raises the standard for Bangkok’s fast-paced entertainment industry. When you f rst encounter the sound system in the main room, you are blown away by the physical power, but the real beauty is its f nesse. Even at maximum 120 dB output you can still hold a conversation - which is a sign of the low distortion and the headroom built into the design. What you have is a very high f delity club experience - a big hi-f set with massive bass.” Kenny Jackel of Bangkok-based Satellite Pro A/V (Mondo*dr May/June 2002)
