JBL have released a new line of DSP-equipped loudspeakers and subwoofers which they say will offer a powerful, versatile solution for DJs, bands, music venues, and rental companies.
Features Bluetooth audio, an eight-channel mixer and a rechargeable lithium battery that lasts six hours, making it ideal for gigging musicians and DJs, educators, fitness studios, corporate environments and more.
