JBL MS-8

The Perfect Sound Processor

After several years of intensive research, development, and engineering, the professionals at JBL have created a revolutionary sound processor for your car. What takes the professional audio tuner weeks to accomplish, the JBL MS-8 accomplishes in minutes. The results are breathtaking. The sound is flawless. It is perfection.

Seamless Integration

The JBL MS-8 is a professional sound processor that improves the acoustics in your car, no matter what type of system you currently have. Although the system is designed for enhancing factory audio systems, it is capable of bringing out the richest sound in aftermarket systems as well. After installation and set-up, the entire system is hidden behind the vehicle's panels or dash, making this a true OEM integration piece. With the MS-8, your factory system will sound better than you ever thought possible.

Simple, Accurate Calibration

Professional tuners will take weeks to fine tune the acoustics of a car audio system. With the JBL MS-8, you will receive results just as good, if not better. And the best part is that it only takes a fraction of the time. Once installed, the calibration is configured by putting on a set of bi-aural microphone headphones, using the included remote control, and following the instruction on the menu-driven system. In approximately 10 minutes, your car system will make the harshest audiophiles jealous. Let the MS-8 do all the hard work for you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy audio like you have never heard before
