    New JBL website

    Has anyone seen this yet?

    http://www.jbl.com/en-US/Pages/home.aspx

    Lord help us, Harman has "updated" the JBL website. Now it is completely useless, no way to find the product pages for any of the older models, or even current series pages. The product search is FUBAR too.

    Please let them know how you feel about this new website.

    Performance Series is gone. The Studio L Series is hidden behind the almost invisible page 2 link.
    Out.

    Fortunately, the list of Links in this site that Techbot created that point to Consumer crossovers and such at the Harman site are still working ...

    Thank you, 4313B!!

    I always used to go through the support page to look up older models, but no longer. I think we're looking at the finished product, but I hope I'm wrong. Basically nothing in that database but current models. :dont-know

    Well...okay......how about we all start a systematic download and archive of all the information that may disappear. Does anyone know if it would be possible to set up an archive of tech sheets, specs, vintage product info, etc., on this site?

    In addition to the Library: http://www.lansingheritage.org/

    We have this section which has more useful technical data than JBL ever had on any of their public websites.

    Yes, thanks and great. However, as an example, a large number of network schematics are not archived here. I am wondering if there is a chance our access to the JBL listing could disappear? If not, no problem. But if yes, can we add them now? I note that no new posts are possible under techbot's post.

    True, and used a lot by me. But there are many, many models not included there/here that were available from the JBL support page. Owner's manuals, basic specs, etc., all gone.

    I don't really ever use their site so I don't actually know what I have been missing, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were not still populating the new site with more info.

    I'd suggest everyone interesting in more support for older product and more info in general send Harman an e-mail and see if that doesn't help. Marketing people are usually willing to do what it takes to keep their customer base happy when it doesn't cost them anything.

    If anyone here has an ear at Harman/JBL, even gaining access to all those older product pages would be a huge plus, and they could be archived here or somewhere. I'd guesstimate that hundreds of product pages and owner's manuals have been lost.
