JBL has announced five AV receivers. All model designations begin with the letter “MA,” which stands for Modern Audio. The smallest model is the MA310, a 5.2-channel AV receiver, and the flagship is the MA9100HP, which can be the control center of a 9.2-channel home theater.
JBL MA AV receivers
All models in the JBL MA product line feature similar technologies to support high-performance sound, including Class D amplification to power all channels, Dolby and DTS decoding, and high-resolution 24-bit/192 kHz DACs. With audio quality and a focus on ease of use, the MA Series models offer the flexibility of a wide range of inputs for two-channel and multi-channel sources.
The free EZ Set EQ app provides easy-to-use room equalization for optimized sound quality for all MA-line AVRs. During the calibration process, the amplifier collects data about the room acoustics for each speaker group. The process can be performed in less than two minutes by anyone using an iOS or Android mobile device, according to the manufacturer.
The two top models MA7100HP and MA9100HP are also suitable for the use of Dirac Live, for which a license must first be purchased. Dirac Live offers automatic room correction, allowing installers and experienced users to optimize the system for their personal room acoustics.
