VERTEC LINE ARRAY EVALUATIONS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE

NORTHRIDGE, CA - JANUARY 17, 2002 - JBL Professional has announced its VERTEC Line Array System Evaluation Program that gives potential system owners an opportunity to try out a VERTEC system in a venue of their choice. Instead of basing their purchase decision on specifications or how the system sounds in an unfamiliar venue, sound reinforcement companies can now listen to VERTEC in a real-world situation. Pre-packaged, show-ready systems are available for trial use at concerts and special events. Systems are available nationwide, based in the Eastern, Central and Western regions of the United States.

"JBL Professional is making it as easy as possible to listen to the new VERTEC line. We want to expose the professional rental sound industry to the excellent audio quality and new technologies incorporated into the VERTEC system," explained Tom Weeber, Vice President of US Sales for JBL Professional. "In addition to leasing options for VERTEC , we have programs to assist in converting pre-owned, outdated speaker system inventory from other manufacturers into cash for investment in new JBL VERTEC systems."
