JBL Philippines Revamps its SM Megamall Store into Interactive Acoustical Space

MANILA, June 4, 2016  – Beyond Innovations opens the doors to its Grand Reopening of JBL Acoustical Space at SM Megamall. Attendees are treated to exclusive opening day discounts and raffle prizes. The event, attended by JBL/HARMAN executives and distributors, dealers and select members of the press, was also graced by celebrity guests – top fashion and lifestyle blogger, Camille Co with  model and TV personality, Kim Domingo.

Located at 4th floor Cyberzone, the technology hub of SM Megamall, JBL Acoustical Space was renovated in April 2016 to transform into an interactive gallery by giving consumers improved access to HARMAN’s award-winning products from legendary brands such as JBL™, harman/kardon™ and AKG™.

JBL Acoustical Space features HARMAN’s brands, from home audio products, high-performance loudspeakers and headphones for everyone from sound aficionados and tech gurus to music lovers and style seekers.

Entering the store, consumers are greeted by displays of home theater speakers and soundbars. The 5.1 Home Theater speaker system is readily available for testing, either for playing movies or music. For a more intimate and immersive experience, home theatre products can be experienced at the improved Home Theater room which boasts of a projector  for better and larger viewing. It is powered by Control4, a Home Automation system, which enables control of lights or speakers just by using a touch screen. The Home Theater room will help shoppers get a sense of how quality audio truly sounds so that they can have the richest music or movie watching experience possible.

For those seeking portable music solutions, headphones and portable speakers are displayed in more interactive modules at the right side of the store. This section of JBL Acoustical Space features modules with TVs showing slideshows and videos of the newest products.

There is also a new tech section where customers can sit down and tinker around with their iPad and explore the different JBL applications to further enhance the performance of JBL products like the Everest and Pulse 2. JBL Acoustical Space is the first JBL store in the Philippines boasting this experience area.

As part of the Grand Re-Opening activities, JBL Acoustical Space treats shoppers to exclusive deals – big discounts to JBL and Harman Kardon bestsellers and new releases:
