Three New Products Set to Be Released by JBL!
JBL JAPAN official XDemand for microphones is increasing significantly due to the rise of PC gaming, remote work, and virtual meetings.
In addition to wanting to deliver high-quality, noise-free audio for game streaming, a laggy or poor-quality remote meeting caused by an inferior microphone can interfere with business operations.
While the earphones and headsets you usually use do the bare minimum, why not try delivering clear audio using a dedicated microphone?
JBL, one of the world's largest audio manufacturers with an impressive track record—including being No. 1 in wireless speaker sales in Japan for six consecutive years—has announced three new products. These include a flagship model from the Quantum STREAM series of condenser microphones, designed for gaming, streaming, and professional use.
Sales will begin sequentially starting in late February 2024.
JBL Quantum STREAM STUDIO
PR TIMESThe flagship model of the JBL Quantum series, JBL Quantum STREAM STUDIO, has arrived!
It achieves high-definition, smooth audio with a sampling rate of 192 kHz/24-bit.
Furthermore, by being equipped with three condenser microphone modules, you can easily switch between four polar patterns, as follows:
- Cardioid
- Omnidirectional
- Bidirectional
- Stereo
Whether recording alone or with multiple people, a single microphone can be used appropriately for any situation.
PR TIMESIn addition, it is packed with excellent features such as a Dynamic Range Compressor (DRC) function that automatically adjusts voice gain levels and a built-in shock absorber that reduces tabletop sounds like typing.
Since the microphone can be muted instantly just by tapping the top of the body, you can feel secure even during sudden interruptions.
JBL Quantum STREAM STUDIO is scheduled for release on Thursday, February 22, 2024.
It is currently available for pre-order for 22,000 yen (tax included) on the JBL official website.
