THE MUSIC, REVEALED
NYLON STOCK-
INGS, FILM NOIR,
THE DAWN OF
AUDIO.
James B.
Lansing leaves Western
Electric (where he led the
team that brought sound
to the movies) to start
JBL. First products: the
D130, an innovative high-
power, low-frequency
transducer, and a high-
frequency transducer
that’s still used by audio
professionals more than
50 years later.
BLUE SUEDE
SHOES,
MCCARTHY,
THE ELECTRIC
GUITAR.
As rock ‘n’
roll is born, JBL becomes
the clear leader in studio
and theater sound. Leo
Fender chooses the D130
to amplify his electric
guitars. And
LIFE
magazine
calls the JBL Hartsfield
the “dream speaker” for
the amazing new world
of hi-fi.
