JBL is an American audio electronics company currently owned by Harman International. It was founded in 1946 by James Bullough Lansing. Their primary products are loudspeakers and associated electronics. There are two independent divisions within the company — JBL Consumer and JBL Professional. The former produces audio equipment for the home market while the latter produces professional equipment for the studio, installed sound, tour sound, portable sound (production and DJ), and cinema markets.

[edit] History
James B. Lansing founded JBL the year after leaving Altec Lansing as their Vice President of Engineering in 1945. The company was first called Lansing Sound, Incorporated, and dated from 1 October 1946 and then changed its name to James B. Lansing Sound. The first products model D101 15-inch loudspeaker and D175 The high frequency driver. The D175 remained in the JBL catalog through the 1970s. Both of these were near copies of Altec Lansing products. First original product was the D130, a 15-inch transducer for which a variant would remain in production for the next 55 years. The D130 featured a 4-inch flat ribbon wire voice coil and Alnico V magnet. Two other products were the 12-inch D131 and 8-inch D208 cone drivers.

The Marquardt Corporation gave the company early manufacturing space and a modest investment. William H. Thomas, the treasurer of Marquardt Corporation, represented Marquardt on Lansing’s Board of Directors. In 1948 Marquardt took over operation of the JBL. In 1949 Marquardt was purchased by General Tire Company. The new company was not interested in the loudspeaker business and severed ties with Mr. Lansing. The company was reincorporated as James B. Lansing, Incorporated, and moved to its first private location on 2439 Fletcher Drive, Los Angeles.

A key to JBL’s early development was Mr. Lansing’s close business relationship with its primary supplier of Alnico V magnetic material, Robert Arnold of Arnold Engineering. Arnold Engineering extended favorable terms and deep credit to Mr. Lansing. Robert Arnold saw JBL as an opportunity to sell Alnico V magnetic material into a new market.

James Lansing was noted as an innovative engineer, but a poor businessman. For the next 3 years Mr. Lansing struggled to pay invoices and ship product. As a result of deteriorating business conditions and personal issues, he took his own life on September 4, 1949. The company then passed into the hands of Bill Thomas, JBL’s then vice-president. Mr. Lansing had taken out a $10,000 life insurance policy naming the company as the beneficiary. That allowed Mr. Thomas to continue the company after Mr. Lansing’s death. Soon after, Mr. Thomas purchased Mrs. Lansing’s one-third interest in the company and became the sole owner of the company. Mr. Thomas was responsible for revitalizing the company and spearheading a remarkable period of growth for the two decades following the founding of JBL[1].

Early products included the model 375 high frequency driver and the 075 UHF (Ultra High Frequency) ring radiator driver. The ring radiator drivers are also known as "JBL bullets" because of their distinctive shape. The 375 was a re-invention of the Western Electric 594 driver but with a Alnico V magnet and a 4-inch voice coil. The 375 shared the same basic magnet structure as the D-130 woofer. JBL engineers Ed May and Bart Locanthi created these designs.[2]

Two products from that era, the Hartsfield and the Paragon, continue to be highly desired on the collectors market.

In 1955 the brand name JBL was introduced to resolve ongoing disputes with Altec Lansing Corporation. The company name "James B. Lansing Sound, Incorporated" was retained, but the logo name was changed to JBL with the distinctive exclamation point logo.[3]

The JBL 4320 series studio monitor was introduced through Capitol Records in Hollywood and became the standard monitor worldwide for its parent company, EMI. JBL’s introduction to rock and roll music came via the adoption of the D130 loudspeaker by Leo Fender’s Fender Guitar company as the ideal driver for electric guitars.

In 1969, Bill Thomas sold JBL to the Jervis Corporation (later renamed Harman International) headed by Dr. Sidney Harman. The 1970s saw JBL become a household brand, starting with the famous L-100, which was the best-selling loudspeaker model of any company to that date. The 1970s also saw a major JBL expansion in the professional audio field from their studio monitors. By the end of the decade recording studios in the United States used more JBL monitors than all other brands combined. The JBL L-100 and 4310 control monitors were noteworthy, popular home speakers. In the 1980’s the L-100, 4312 and others were updated with aquaplas-laminated midrange and woofer drivers, and a titanium-deposited tweeter diaphragm, the new designations being the L-80T, L-100T, L-120T and the flagship L-250ti. To test speaker drivers, JBL in Northridge used the roof as a

Hi, what are the relation / what they represent among these three companies …

1) Apple Corp. Ltd
2) EMI Record
3) Capital Record

I know some records are leased by one of or all of above at the same time. Like the most recent "The Beatles MONO Box" and "The Beatles Stereo Box" set ? (USA, UK, and JAPAN released these I think). NOT Chinese FAKE crap.

and Michael Jackson is the owner of all the Beatles music right ? What’s up with that ?

Apple was owned and started by The Beatles.
EMI released their albums in the UK
Capital released their albums in the USA

Micheal Jackson bought the rights to their music in an auction.

my lifes ambition has been to be a recording artist in nashville someday at like arista or rca or emi records or someplace like that. I plan on going to school at belmont for commercial music.
Can anybody give me advice on what i should do?

Hello
On this page you’ll get
the requested information.

http://musicians.about.com/od/musiciansfaq/f/recorddeals.htm

I recently built a new computer for use in my home recording studio. With this new computer, I have noticed that I get terrible noise on any sound system that is connected to it. My computer speakers buzz constantly. I also have a PA system that I plug into the computer from time to time. This gets noise just as bad.

My old computer that I used never had this problem. As soon as I upgraded, HORRIBLE (and I mean HORRIBLE) noise constantly pumps out of my speakers, almost to the point where I cannot enjoy listening to music.

I have ran tests and have come to the conclusion that the noise is definitely coming from the computer itself. It is not RFI. And it is not EMI coming from any other electronic devices in the room. I have isolated the computer to be the problem.

I know that you can buy ferrite beads and donuts to wrap cords around to reduce noise, but is this the only solution? If I were to do this, I would need to buy longer cables to connect my sound systems to my computer.

Any suggestions? This noise is driving me crazy!

It would be in your best interest to assume you built the computer up right, and all the components are fine. Otherwise you will end up in the computer forum with a big mess and six different diagnoses, so let’s go with that.

Have you considered that the sound card in your computer has an output of 8-32 ohms and the input to your stereo is 47,000 ohms? It may not have been a problem with the other rig, but it may be now.

It may also be premature to completely rule out ground loop hum from EMI in the form of ground potential difference. Do you have a dial-up line, DSL line or cable modem hooked up? They have different ground potentials. You should hope that it is one of the previous problems, or both, because there’s a quick, cheap solution on the page below.

An impedence matching ground isolating transformer interface between your PC and stereo would squash it like a bug. Most people don’t know about them, only one I know of is perfected, and it’s below for 30 bucks.

The cable ends of this puppy match your speaker plug on the PC, and the RCA jacks on the stereo. The extra free cable extension give you 16 feet of cable. I would give it a shot, even if the buzz is coming from inside your computer, this is between it and the stereo, and has a good shot at knocking it out.

Oh, and I have bought from this company for 30 years, they are straight up. Good luck with your problem.

I have heard that the title was a Ringo-ism "Tomorrow Never Knows." Originally it was called Mach I after a racing car. I am not sure why this song, based upon passages from Timothy Leary’s adapted version of the Tibetan "Book of the Dead" would be named after a sports car. "Turn off your mind, relax, and just float down stream." Bruce Dern gave those instructions to Peter Fonda in the 1967 movie "The Trip." I wonder if these lines were inspired by the Beatles song or if John had found out about the lines from Fonda before he wrote the song. I am trying to see how it flows chronologically. John wrote the song. John and George were slipped LSD in their coffee by a dentist friend at a dinner party. That was in 1965. Later when the Beatles toured the USA, a second acid trip was taken at a rented bungalow in Los Angeles. Peter Fonda and David Crosby were in attendance. Peter was talking to John about an acid trip in which he thought he was dead, which Fonda later incorporated into "The Trip." John in turn made some of Fonda’s statements into a song.
The song, as Mach I, or Mach One, was originally recorded using one chord. In later versions, two chords were used. The song was in keeping with an Indian mantra. Indian music was becoming increasingly popular with LSD users in the mid 1960s. Instead of using traditional Indian instruments for this song, the Beatles used modern recording techniques and recorded organs, electric keyboards, electric guitars recorded backwards. There were all these people holding pencils with tape loops at EMI and all the loops were being mixed together as a montage of sound. What do you know about the Beatles song "Tomorrow Never Knows" written by John Lennon and recorded by the Beatles in 1966?
I have always understood this to be a John Lennon song. Paul and the other Beatles helped with ideas to produce the recording. John and Paul had a songwriting partnership with the Beatles. Therefore every song written by John and Paul when they were with the Beatles is co owned in copyright with Northern Songs.

the song is actually taken word for word from the psychedelic experience by timothy leary,that book in turn is taken from the tibetan book of the dead!

the song is basically a guide for how to take an acid trip and kill your ego in the process!

leary believed that part of humanity’s problems steemed from our egos and that if you took enough LSD that you would kill your ego and become a part of what he called "the great cosmic consciousness"and all strife would end!

that was why john lennon took so much LSD from 1966 to early 1968,it was because he was trying to kill his ego!

lennon was one of the lucky ones,he survived with his mental stability intact,unlike so many others(syd barrett a big example)who used LSD to induce "ego death"

Colin

one of the original titles was mark 1.the LSD dosing incident happened in early 1965(way before the song was even written).

the incident where peter fonda talked about being dead had nothing to do with an LSD trip,it was about an operation he had when he was a child,john was tripping at the time and didn’t want any bad vibes(which fonda was giving him big time,but then again the only reason why john was so pissed at peter was because he’d just seen jane’s movie cat ballou and hated it!john was in essence taking his anger at jane out on peter),but the incident stayed with john and actually became the basis for she said she said,hence the opening line:"she said i know what it’s like to be dead"

everything else you’ve said about the recording of the song is correct!
