JBL Synthesis SMA Series Amplifiers

Harman unveils its latest high-performance, multichannel Class D amplifiers designed for immersive audio systems with state-of-the-art DSP, unparalleled power output, and custom installation flexibility.

At CEDIA Expo 2024, Harman Luxury Audio Group is poised to raise the bar for home theater enthusiasts with the preview of its groundbreaking JBL Synthesis SMA Series multichannel amplifiers. These new models — the SMA-4750 and SMA-8300 — bring professional-grade power and unparalleled precision to residential cinema setups. With integrated high-resolution DSP for advanced system tuning, flexible power configurations, and cutting-edge digital audio networking, the SMA series is tailor-made for custom installations, offering audio enthusiasts an unprecedented level of control.

The Next Generation of High-Power, Precision Audio

The SMA Series represents a new chapter for JBL Synthesis, combining high-power performance with the flexibility needed for today's immersive home theater environments. Designed with custom integrators in mind, the SMA-4750 and SMA-8300 amplifiers deliver exceptional audio quality while boasting a user-friendly CI-focused interface. Whether you're powering large format loudspeakers, subwoofers, or surround sound channels, these amplifiers ensure that your audio system achieves the highest fidelity possible.

What sets the SMA Series apart?

  • Unmatched Power: With the SMA-4750 delivering up to 750 watts per channel and the SMA-8300 offering 300 watts per channel, these amplifiers can effortlessly drive large loudspeaker setups, ensuring that every sound—from whispers to explosive action scenes—is heard with crystal clarity.
  • Precision DSP Tuning: Thanks to the built-in high-resolution DSP suite, users can tailor the sound to match the unique acoustics of their space. The DSP suite includes advanced features like EQ, Delay, and Limiters, allowing for highly customized setups that maximize audio performance while minimizing distortion.
  • Versatile Connectivity: These amplifiers come equipped with balanced XLR inputs for clean signal transmission and offer compatibility with Dante/AES67 digital audio networks, providing seamless integration into modern home audio ecosystems.

Tailor-Made for Immersive Audio Enthusiasts

Designed for audiophiles and professional installers, the JBL Synthesis SMA Series amplifiers are perfect for those who demand both power and precision. The amplifiers’ bridgeable channels provide flexibility, allowing users to combine channels for higher power outputs when needed, such as for large LCR (Left, Center, Right) speakers or subwoofers.

SMA-4750: Versatile 4-Channel Powerhouse

  • Delivers 750W per channel at 8 ohms, making it ideal for powering large loudspeakers and subwoofers in a premium home theater setup.
  • Features the ability to bridge adjacent channels to output up to 2500W, perfect for larger systems where additional headroom is essential for an immersive experience.

SMA-8300: Ideal for Expansive Systems

  • An 8-channel amplifier offering 300W per channel at 8 ohms, the SMA-8300 is engineered for multi-channel surround and height speakers, allowing users to build expansive Dolby Atmos or DTSsystems.
  • Can be bridged to provide 1200W per channel when more power is needed, giving it the ability to drive even the most demanding speaker configurations.

Compact Design, Maximum Flexibility

Despite their immense power output, the SMA amplifiers maintain a 2RU form factor and are designed with side-to-side ventilation, allowing for easy stacking in custom installations without compromising on cooling. This sleek design makes the SMA-4750 and SMA-8300 ideal for audiophiles who need both performance and convenience in a compact package.

Seamless Integration with JBL Synthesis Systems

The JBL Synthesis SMA Series amplifiers are designed to seamlessly integrate with JBL’s SDP processors, SCL loudspeakers, and SSW subwoofers. The Dante/AES67 digital audio networking ensures flawless synchronization across multiple channels, making these amplifiers the backbone of an immersive audio system.

Ready for Installation: Pre-Orders and Pricing

Available for presale at CEDIA Expo 2024, these high-performance amplifiers will ship in Q1 2025, allowing early adopters to be among the first to experience their transformative power. Pricing is set at an MSRP of $5000 for the SMA-4750 and $6000 for the SMA-8300, positioning them as a premium option for luxury home theater systems.
