NORTHRIDGE, Calif. — Mar. 28, 2023 — HARMAN Luxury Audio Group today announced that the company will be demonstrating the latest solutions from its JBL, Mark Levinson, and Revel brands in two listening rooms at AXPONA 2023, taking place April 14-16 at the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Conference Center in Schaumburg, Illinois.
"We're thrilled to be attending AXPONA 2023, which provides music enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to experience the latest and greatest from the high-end audio industry's most renowned manufacturers," said Jim Garrett, Senior Director, Product Strategy and Planning, HARMAN Luxury Audio. "We'll be showcasing a number of solutions from our leading JBL, Mark Levinson, and Revel brands at the event — from loudspeakers to amplifiers, CD players, digital audio players, and more — and can't wait for attendees to hear what they can do."
In room 1221 at AXPONA 2023, JBL will be demonstrating select components from its iconic Classic Series, including Black Edition versions of the Classic L100, L82, and L52 passive hi-fi loudspeakers. These special production versions all include the Black Edition Appearance package for a stylish and sophisticated new look, while the L100 and L82 have been enhanced with the Black Edition Performance Package. Additional Classic Series components at AXPONA will include the SA550 Classic integrated amplifier featuring the latest Bluetooth AptX® Adaptive technology and the CD350 Classic CD player with a robust tray loading mechanism and USB-A input.
In addition to Classic Series components, attendees will also experience JBL's 4329P Studio Monitor Powered Loudspeaker system. Consisting of two speakers — each with a patented JBL 2409H 1-inch compression driver — the 4329P features an integrated streaming engine that provides both wired and wireless network audio capabilities via built-in Google Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth 5.3 aptX Adaptive audio. Rounding out the listening room will be JBL Studio 6 Series loudspeakers — including the floorstanding Studio 698 and bookshelf Studio 630 — which deliver professional compression driver technology at an affordable price point.
In room 1222, Mark Levinson will be highlighting the limited-edition ML-50 amplifier, which was introduced last year to commemorate the brand's 50th anniversary. Using the popular No. 536 amplifier as a starting point, the ML-50 features upgraded audio circuits for even higher performance and physical design elements taken from Mark Levinson's most significant products over the last five decades.
In addition, attendees will experience the No. 526 dual monaural preamplifier with its proprietary Pure Path circuit design and high-performance DAC, and the No. 519 digital audio player, which combines a traditional multiformat CD player with both wired and wireless streaming capabilities. For an unmatched listening experience, the Mark Levinson solutions will be paired with Revel Salon2 floor-standing loudspeakers. Offering an elegant, designer-friendly appearance, the four-way speakers consist of three 8-inch woofers, a 6.5-inch mid-woofer, a 4-inch midrange, and a 1-inch tweeter.
