JBL and AKG launch new products to coincide with NAMM 2026

HARMAN Professional Solutions has announced the expansion of its JBL Professional SRX900 Series of powered, scalable loudspeaker systems and AKG C-Series professional condenser microphones.

The JBL expansion includes 12-inch, 15-inch, and dual 12-inch point-source loudspeakers and a full range of supporting accessories. Designed for a wide range of applications, the new SRX912M is a compact, multi-purpose, two-way 12-inch powered loudspeaker that delivers high output for its size. It is ideal as a low-profile stage monitor, main PA, or front fill.

Optimally suited for use as a main PA or as a stage monitor, the new SRX915M is a high-output, multi-purpose, two-way 15-inch powered loudspeaker designed for applications that require greater low-frequency extension and increased headroom.

For applications requiring high output and precise directivity control, the new SRX922 is a compact, acoustically three-way, dual 12-inch powered point-source loudspeaker featuring a trapezoidal full-range enclosure. It is an ideal choice for high-output mains systems, side-fills, or as a high-performance point-source element within larger SRX900 deployments.

The new SRX900 models share consistent voicing, amplification, and DSP, and use common rigging and accessory options. A unified software platform ties the system together, creating a seamless, integrated ecosystem.

Also introduced is a new range of rigging, mounting, and transport accessories that support deployment across fixed and portable applications. Offerings include horizontal and vertical U-brackets, array frames, truss clamps, transportation carts, and covers.

“The SRX900 platform is continually evolving to meet the realities of today’s productions and users,” said George Georgallis, senior director of product management, tour sound at HARMAN Professional Solutions. “With this expansion, we’re extending that commitment even further—offering greater flexibility to achieve more, while maintaining the signature sound and trusted performance the SRX900 platform is known for. We couldn’t be prouder to support our users with new possibilities for expanded applications and growth.”

HARMAN Professional Solutions also announced the launch of its new AKG C-Series professional condenser microphones. Designed with musicians, podcasters, YouTubers, and streamers in mind, the new C104, C114, and C151 models feature a transformerless FET circuit that delivers a low noise floor and expansive dynamic range.

Sustainability is at the core of modern AKG C-Series industrial design as all of the mic bodies have been crafted from 100% recycled PIR metal and every aspect, from packaging to accessories, has been engineered for minimal environmental impact.

“When we set out to create the new AKG C-Series microphones, our goal was simple: let’s design a mic that creators would reach for every day - not just because it sounds incredible, but because it makes the process easier, smoother, and more inspiring,” said Philip Feinman, product manager, recording and broadcast, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “We listened closely to what musicians and content creators truly need, and we’re proud to deliver a microphone lineup that becomes a natural extension of the creative process.”

“AKG has a rich tradition in design innovation for microphones, headphones, and audio products. Our passion to lead helps drive our efforts to deliver world-class products and solutions for our customers, partners, and the global community of creative artists and individuals,” said Chris Hansen, director, recording and broadcast, HARMAN Professional Solutions.
