Harman International Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takuma Kuwahara), representing JBL—one of the world's largest audio brands from California and the #1 wireless speaker brand in Japan for 8 consecutive years—has announced the 'JBL BandBox Solo' and 'JBL BandBox Trio.' These portable Bluetooth speakers feature AI-powered vocal and instrument stem separation.

Pre-registration via LINE friend addition starts today on the announcement page.
The 'JBL BandBox' series is a smart speaker designed for musicians, covering everything from practice and music playback to creative production in a single unit.
The most significant feature is the proprietary AI technology that enables vocal and instrument stem separation through on-device processing without relying on the cloud. By analyzing music played via Bluetooth in real-time and freely separating vocals, guitars, and rhythm parts, any song can instantly be used as a minus-one backing track.
The 'JBL BandBox Solo,' with its compact housing for easy portability, is aimed at all music fans who enjoy guitar and vocals, primarily for daily practice and home performance. On the other hand, the 'JBL BandBox Trio' features a 4-channel mixer and high output performance, catering to multi-person performances such as band sessions.
Both models support the 'JBL One' app, allowing centralized management of amp simulators, effects, and practice tool settings. This enables smooth sound creation according to performance styles and scenes, making everything from recording ideas to daily practice more versatile and fun.
During the project period, product exhibitions are planned at IKEBE SHIBUYA 1F 'World Pedal Park' and 'Tsutaya Electrics+' in Futako-Tamagawa. Visitors can experience the actual products before deciding.
Product Highlights:
- Equipped with AI-driven vocal/instrument stem separation.
- Instant minus-one track creation for any song without cloud dependency.
- Powerful JBL sound optimized for guitar and vocals, not just Bluetooth music.
- Built-in amp simulator and various effects.
- Features for songwriting ideas and practice, including a tuner, metronome, and looper.
- Audio interface function compatible with recording and streaming via USB-C.
- Intuitive and detailed sound adjustment via 'JBL One' app.
