Experience the pinnacle of luxury home cinema with JBL Synthesis Certified Systems, ensuring your theatre meets the best performance standards for unmatched audio quality.
Harman Luxury Audio offers two factory certifications for installed JBL Synthesis systems. These programs, JBL Synthesis Certified System and Certified Elite System, certify a wide range of systems based on five JBL Synthesis system templates – ranging from small-scale, intimate rooms to large-scale, high-channel-count immersive cinemas. The programs certify that specific calibration services and processes are followed, in addition to acoustically proven tuning methods that ensure optimal in-room performance.
JBL Synthesis systems are manufactured to combine professional-grade audio technology with home entertainment solutions, delivering accurate, dynamic sound in multi-channel playback. These systems aim to replicate the exhilarating performance found in top-tier JBL Professional cinemas, but tailored for a more personal, home theatre experience.
System Certification is a mark of excellence that identifies that the system was designed, engineered and installed by experts. Homeowners who invest in a Certified System can be confident that the system meets the rigorous performance standards established by JBL Synthesis.
Certified Programs
The JBL Synthesis Certified System program is tailored for simpler, less complex cinema setups, while the JBL Synthesis Certified Elite program is intended for more intricate systems, designed to accommodate challenging room acoustics and larger, more advanced configurations.
The program offers five certified JBL Synthesis system templates, ranging from a 5.1.2-channel system for small- to medium-sized media rooms to an expansive 11.4.10-channel system for large home theatres. Each template features specialised JBL Synthesis loudspeakers and electronics, as well as expert support in system design, layout and calibration.
Systems that meet the requirements for either certification level will receive a custom laser-etched, two-space rack faceplate, indicating whether the theatre has achieved JBL Synthesis Certified System or JBL Synthesis Certified Elite System status.
Certified Systems
Harman Luxury Audio has revealed that the Adeo Group in Lavis, Italy, was the first showroom to achieve the qualification standard and received certification as a JBL Synthesis Elite System. Their immersive cinema is used for prospective client demonstrations and dealer training events.
In the APAC region, Thanh Tung Audio in Hanoi successfully fulfilled the qualification requirements in 2022 and officially became the first theatre in the region to obtain certification as a JBL Synthesis Elite System.
Certified Systems in New Zealand
In 2023, the first home theatre to meet the qualification criteria in New Zealand – and the entire Australasia region – earned recognition as a JBL Synthesis Certified System. This unique setup seamlessly transitions from a 7.2.2 home cinema to a 2.1 stereo monitoring system for use with a baby grand piano.
During 2024, JBL Synthesis distributor JPRO received recognition for its showroom, becoming the third cinema in the APAC region to fulfil the requirements, earning JBL Synthesis Certified System status. The small format home theatre serves as a showroom for potential clients and a venue for dealer training.
With JBL Synthesis, you’re guaranteed the pinnacle of luxury home cinema and stereo listening experiences. Homeowners who opt for a Certified System can rest assured that their setup meets JBL Synthesis’ rigorous performance standards.
