JBL is celebrating its 80th anniversary with the Asia-Pacific debut of its next-generation flagship loudspeakers, the Summit Everest (above) and Summit K2.
Unveiled at StereoNET Asia 2026, these models succeed the legendary Project Everest and Project K2.
The Summit Series representing JBL’s most advanced residential loudspeakers now includes five models – Everest, K2, Makalu, Pumori, and Ama.
Summit Everest: Peak performance
Named after the world’s highest mountain, Summit Everest is the flagship of the series. It features a newly engineered mid/high-frequency system with three patented JBL D2820 compression drivers, a custom 3-into-1 expansion manifold, and a large-format Sonoglass HDI horn.
Dual 10-inch mid-bass drivers and dual 15-inch woofers with Hybrid Carbon Cellulose Composite Cones deliver power and precision across a bandwidth from 20Hz to beyond 23kHz.
Summit K2: Rebuilt for today’s listeners
Summit K2 (above), inspired by the world’s second-highest peak, builds on four generations of Project K2 development. It pairs three patented D2815 compression drivers with a custom expansion manifold and HDI horn, supported by a 10-inch mid-bass driver and 15-inch woofer. The result is a loudspeaker that advances K2’s signature musicality with greater resolution and tonal accuracy.
Engineered to Summit standard
Both models incorporate JBL’s advanced MultiCap crossover network, precision enclosures and IsoAcoustic isolation feet for ultra-low distortion and expansive soundstage. Offered in high-gloss black with platinum accents or Macassar Ebony veneer with gold detailing, they combine engineering rigour with visual elegance.
