The history of cinema sound has long been directly linked with JBL Professional.  Its research and development team have provided countless groundbreaking loudspeaker systems for the film industry. JBL Cinema Sound Products are the market leaders in all cinema categories from sound stages, to mixing rooms, to THX® approved theatre systems. Like JBL, Crown International has long set the standard for premium quality amplifier systems in professional film production and cinema sound applications. These two companies allow a perfect synergy for cinema sound system solutions.

Doug Daniel, Vice President of International Sales for JBL Professional commented, " Harman International brands JBL Professional and Crown International are pleased to announce that product distribution for the UK Cinema market will now be handled by Harman Pro Group exclusive brand distributor Sound Technology Ltd based in Letchworth, Hertfordshire.  JBL and Crown are confident that with local sales support, service, and spare parts availability provided by Sound Technology, and the combined proven performance of JBL/Crown cinema systems, the UK cinema business will be well served.  Sound Technology has been excellent partners in all aspects of the Harman professional business, and with the cinema sales experience of Gareth Collyer we expect the future cinema business in the UK to prosper."
