Today, HARMAN International Industries, the premier connected technologies company for automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, launched its newest lineup of JBL Rallybars for powersports and marine applications. The three new models – the JBL Rallybar XL, JBL Rallybar and Rallybar S feature JBL’s signature sound combined with superior technology and an even more compact design, making them the premier choice for any off-road vehicle or boat.
The new JBL Rallybar XL expands on the original UB4100, now with the addition of a 300w amplifier. The three models support Hi-Res audio and offer 1” tweeters, and an array of 3” mid-range drivers and large 3” by 7.3” racetrack passive radiators to deliver the bass. The Rallybar XL features 10 speakers and 4 radiators. The Rallybar supports a 150w amplifier with 6 speakers and 2 passive radiators.
All three models are equipped with a HARMAN tuned DSP, USB play, aux-in and out and Bluetooth, with the ability to sync to an unlimited number of Rallybars. Both the Rallybar XL and Rallybar feature 7-way customizable party lighting along with a map light function for in vehicle use. The innovative design is rugged enough for any adventure, featuring an IP66 design so it’s easy to spray them down after a long day in the mud.
When it comes to ease of install, the Rallybar family sets itself apart from the competition. The unique mounting bracket swivels 360 degrees and mounts in a multitude of locations across the top and back of the Rallybar. This flexible design, along with the variable clamp solutions, make it fast and easy to mount to any rollbar or wakeboard tower no matter the angle or diameter.
“The Rallybar family drafts on the success of the JBL UB4100, but now we have even more bass, more sound pressure levels, Hi-Res Audio and party lighting with flexibility of installation,” said Jeffery Fay, VP & GM Global Aftermarket, and Special Markets OEM at HARMAN. “With this new lineup, JBL has shown it’s possible to be best in class for looks, audio performance and durability.”
