The new lineup features four models compatible with any television (TV), delivering rich, detailed, and immersive sound.

Each product incorporates Harman's MultiBeam 3.0 technology, enabling surround sound from a single soundbar. When paired with Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, and detachable rear speakers, users can enjoy a theater-like experience at home.

The JBL Bar introduces Harman's innovative SmartDetails technology, which accurately reproduces subtle sounds from footsteps to creaking floorboards. This soundbar series also features artificial intelligence (AI) Sound Boost, delivering powerful bass without distortion, even at high volumes.

Harman emphasized that the inclusion of PureVoice 2.0 for crystal-clear dialogue, improved connectivity, and a sleeker design redefines living room audio standards.
