HARMAN International Industries announced that the company’s JBL audio brand is now a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title holder. After playing 1,000 Flip 4 Bluetooth speakers simultaneously from a single media source, JBL smashed the previous record (of 208 speakers) set by Ultimate Ears in 2016.
Taking place at an exclusive event in London’s Village Underground on 25 April 2017, together with telecommunications service provider O2, the record was witnessed by over 200 guests including Dutch DJs, Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano. With the speakers displayed on a circular structure to create a 360-degree wall of sound, other highlights from the evening included live acts and an exclusive soundtrack featuring all of JBL’s current music ambassadors (like Demi Lovato, DNCE, Tinie Tempah and Quincy Jones).
