Harman Multimedia Brings JBL Speaker Technology to Desktops

JBL Sonnet System Delivers Powerful Sound for Music, Movie and Gaming Fans

NORTHRIDGE, Calif., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Harman Multimedia, (NYSE: HAR - news) a leading provider of computer audio products, today introduced a new high-performance three-piece speaker system for PCs, Macs, and portable MP3 and DVD players. The JBL Sonnet(TM) is a 28-watt self-powered satellite system designed to complete the multimedia experience for music, movie and gaming fans.

The three-piece system tastefully incorporates the latest in industrial design and Odyssey(TM) transducer technology. Included are two fist-sized satellite speakers and a stylishly compact subwoofer that potently reproduces bass down to 45Hz. The Sonnet system provides sharp imaging and a wide frequency response up to 20kHz to create clear, accurate sound for music, movies and gaming experiences.

``The JBL Sonnet delivers surprisingly powerful and rich sound in a compact and low-cost package,'' said James A. Druckrey, president of Harman Multimedia. ``Like all of Harman Multimedia's products, the Sonnet was designed to be the highest performance audio product within its price range.''

The Sonnet's smart looks and technology are truly designed for the desktop. The subwoofer is magnetically shielded and the twin aluminum-dome Odyssey(TM) transducers in each satellite speaker are reverse-magnetized to help prevent image distortion on computer monitors. With the volume and mute controls conveniently located on the right satellite speaker, and the bass and treble controls on the subwoofer, the system can be easily tuned to suit any user's preference and environment.

Priced at $79.99, the attractive JBL Sonnet will suit any audiophile's budget and desktop. Easy to set-up, the speakers can be plugged into numerous portable devices such as MP3 players and boom boxes.
