JBL by HARMAN to host the Immersive Theatre at 139th AES Convention

At the 139th AES Convention, JBL Professional is inviting attendees to experience
the power of immersive audio with listening sessions on JBL Professional’s new 7
Series Master Reference Monitor system. As immersive audio continues to take hold
in theatres, production houses are gearing up to deliver immersive content into the
home. The Immersive Theatre will showcase both episodic and long-form television
productions in immersive audio formats, delivering an incredibly realistic listening
experience.

While large dubbing theatres can accommodate large overhead loudspeakers,
content creators and broadcast trucks need reference-quality loudspeakers that fit
within their spatial restrictions. The JBL 7 Series LSR708i and LSR705i Master
Reference Monitors are optimized for use on immersive audio projects in facilities
where such restrictions exist. Although compact, both models deliver unprecedented
dynamic range along with low-frequency extension into the 30Hz range and high-
frequency output to 36 kHz.

“JBL Professional developed the 7 Series system specifically for immersive audio
production in which height channels are employed,’ said Peter Chaikin, Senior
Manager, Recording and Broadcast, JBL Professional. “In our Immersive Theatre at
AES, customers will experience newly created immersive content and our enabling
technologies.’

The presentations in the Immersive Theatre will take place every hour on the hour
during AES, but space is limited and registration is required. To reserve a seat,
