Grace Koh, Head of Consumer Audio for Asia Pacific at Harman International, stated, "The JBL Summit series embodies the essence of the JBL brand-precise acoustics, classic craftsmanship, and a deeply resonant musical experience," adding, "With this launch, we pay tribute to our cherished legacy while elevating the art of audio reproduction to a new level."


Each model is inspired by Himalayan peaks and delivers sound that stirs emotions and reveals new layers within recordings.


The Summit Makalu is the flagship model, inspired by Makalu Peak in the Himalayas. It features a 12-inch woofer and an 8-inch midrange driver with HC4 composite cones, combined with JBL's proprietary D2 compression driver and a special HDI™ Sonoglass® horn made from composite material, designed to deliver deep bass and clear imaging even in large spaces. Premium finishes include ebony veneer with gold accents and high-gloss piano black with platinum detailing.


The Summit Pumori is a three-way floor-standing model inspired by Mount Pumori. Nicknamed the "Daughter of Everest," it acoustically embodies elegance and strength. Its 10-inch woofer and 8-inch midrange driver create a vivid sense of scale, while the D2 compression driver and HDI™ horn architecture are tuned to reproduce delicate nuances.


The Ama is a two-way stand-mount loudspeaker named after Ama Dablam Peak. It combines an 8-inch HC4 cone woofer, a D2 compression driver, and an HDI™ horn to achieve clarity and consistency despite its compact size. It comes with a dedicated steel and aluminum stand.



The domestic retail prices are 65 million won for the Summit Makalu, 46 million won for the Summit Pumori, and 29 million won for the Summit Ama. To commemorate the launch of the new JBL Summit series, JBL will host a 'JBL Summit Listening Session' for audio enthusiasts at Conrad Seoul on December 16.
