HARMAN Professional Solutions recently announced the HARMAN Connected PA™—a
complete, integrated ecosystem of live sound products that allows musicians and
performers at any skill level to quickly and easily get professional results. At the
centre of the Connected PA ecosystem is the ground-breaking new HARMAN
Connected PA mobile app, which provides one centralized solution for intuitive
setup, configuration and control. The HARMAN Connected PA ecosystem brings
together Soundcraft mixing consoles, AKG microphones, dbx stage boxes and JBL
speakers that integrate HARMAN ioSYS technology to offer a flexible and scalable
solution that makes it easy for customers to get great live sound.

“Musicians need a fast and easy way to set up their PA system so they can focus on
performing instead of worrying about their equipment,’ said Noel Larson, Senior
Global Manager, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “The HARMAN Connected PA
system provides musicians a simple and effective way to set up and operate their
entire PA system from one central app, with minimal pro audio skills or previous
live sound experience. Now musicians can focus on what matters most—their
performance.’

The HARMAN Connected PA is an industry first, and streamlines the setup process
with one state-of-the-art central app for the entire component ecosystem, removing
the need for multiple apps and GUIs. The app automatically identifies and
configures connected equipment, provides setup wizards for quick and easy system
configuration, and offers access from a variety of devices, including iOS, Android,
Mac OS and Windows.

The Connected PA product ecosystem is enabled via ioSYS technology and initially
includes equipment from Soundcraft, JBL, dbx and AKG, allowing musicians to
create systems that suit their specific needs. Additional HARMAN equipment can be
added to increase performance flexibility and meet the demands of future growth.
At launch, compatible products include:

• Soundcraft Ui12, Ui16, and Ui24R Digital Mixers

• JBL PRX800W Series Loudspeakers

• dbx DI1 Active Direct Box

• AKG P5i Microphone

HARMAN Professional Solutions plans to add many new products to the Connected
PA ecosystem to provide musicians with greater versatility and adaptable
performance.

The HARMAN Connected PA app is expected to be available Q2 2017 from the Apple
App Store, Google Play, Soundcraft.com and JBL.com. Soundcraft Ui24R is expected
to be available March 2017. The AKG P5i microphone will be available February
2017. JBL PRX800W speakers and the dbx DI1 are currently available but may
require firmware updates to enable HARMAN Connected PA functionality. For
