"We are truly excited to unveil the JBL Studio 1 Series — the latest product boasting our brand-new design styling," said David Slump, president, HARMAN Consumer Division. "Since our origins in providing the first speakers for movie theaters, JBL has always built products with unrivaled cinematic sound. We are excited to take that storied engineering experience and unveil a series of speakers for your home with an exciting new look."

The Studio 190 is a three-and-a-half-way dual floorstanding loudspeaker featuring dual woofers and midrange drivers with two 6 ½-inch- PolyPlas™ cones and CMMD Lite tweeter domes with proprietary Bi-Radial waveguides to offer exceptional clarity and realism with outstanding bass response. The Studio 180 is designed in a similar vertical tower package and is a three-way floorstanding speaker with one 6 ½-inch PolyPlas cone.

Powerful and accurate in any listening environment, the newest JBL loudspeaker collection includes the JBL Studio 190 and Studio 180 floorstanding loudspeakers, the Studio 130 bookshelf loudspeaker, the JBL Studio 120c center-channel loudspeaker and the JBL Studio 150P subwoofer.

Perfect for a bookshelf or tabletop, or for someone who is looking to pack some big sound into a more convenient space-saving place, the Studio 130 bookshelf loudspeaker will do the job. The two-way speaker system offers exceptional clarity and realism with outstanding bass response. Featuring 4-inch low-frequency transducers and 1-inch high-frequency transducers, Studio 130 speakers are ideally suited for use as satellites in a Studio 1 Series home theater system, or on their own in compact-yet-captivating music-only systems. The Studio 130s will transform your home entertainment experience with both style and substance.

The last in the series, the JBL Studio 120c system is an ideal choice for the center-channel speaker in a multichannel home theater system. Voice-matched to other speakers in the JBL Studio 1 Series, and sharing the same dynamic new industrial design, the 120c renders the dialogue, music and effects of even the most challenging movie soundtracks with confidence and style. Like the other loudspeakers in the line, the two-and-a-half-way dual center channel also features two magnetically shielded 4-inch (100-millimeter) PolyPlas cones and a 1-inch CMMD Lite dome, magnetically shielded, in a Bi-Radial constant directivity waveguide.
