The story of JBL, which was originally called Lansing Sound, Inc., takes its roots since 1946. JBL introduced its revolutionary D130 15'' speaker, the first JBL speaker to feature a 4'' flat wire coil-in-cone transducer. From The Jazz Singer to Woodstock to record-breaking tours by U2, Eric Clapton and more, JBL's achievements in audio engineering and sound technology have played a crucial role in how audiences worldwide experience playback at its best. In other words to say, at JBL, audio technology is at the core of everything they do.
