JBL MP350 Classic

JBL's Classic series brings together a style inherited from the past and contemporary electronics, giving rise to a range of speakers and electronic devices with a unique character. Directly inspired by the legendary L100 Century, an iconic model from the 1970s, this collection revives the original visual codes: the instantly recognisable Quadrex foam grille, white cone woofers and a natural walnut veneer finish, for an aesthetic that matches the sound quality. The electronic components in the range feature this same natural walnut veneer combined with aluminium, while incorporating some of the latest high-resolution digital and analogue audio technologies. This is how the Classic series brings JBL's heritage back to life.

The JBL MP350 Classic media player takes its aesthetic from the JBL SA600 amplifier, released in the 1960s. With its retro look and walnut veneer sides, this device fits naturally into a classic or vintage-style hi-fi system, and pairs particularly well with JBL Classic and Studio Monitor speakers as well as the JBL SA550 amplifier. Behind this period appearance, however, lies a thoroughly modern music streamer, equipped with a complete set of features compatible with most smartphones, tablets and major streaming services. Connected to the home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, the MP350 allows instant playback via Apple AirPlay 2 or Google Chromecast, and can also play music directly from Spotify Connect or Tidal Connect. Another feature appreciated by experienced users is Roon Ready compatibility, combined with support for high-resolution audio and the MQA format. The entire digital audio stream passes through the analogue outputs via a high-resolution DAC with jitter correction, ensuring faithful sound reproduction with every use.
