Speakers for JBL / Harmann Kardon
As
the first non-american designer for JBL / Harmann Kardon,
I
was asked to develop an "european style" series of high-end
speakers.
Challenges identified was that rectangular boxes produce disturbing,
internal resonances and twisted volumes in the corners of a room is
ugly and dominant. Use of floor woofer brings cables and bass sound
in floor level.
The solution was an 8-sided column, 2 facets cut to one front for
midrange- and hightone speakers, 2 internal woofer with high outlet
and heayvy electronics in bottom to stabilize the column.
Switch for balanced location, in corner, at wall and free.
3 seizes deliver 150, 200 and 250 W.
Finish in black, white or 3 types of wood.
JBL bought a major danish speaker factory, and sale was so high in
Italy, Spain, Germany and France, that bought all production capasity.
Good reviews in Stern etc..
