HARMAN Luxury Audio Turns Up the Volume at AXPONA 2026

World Debut of Revel Performa4 and Listening Experiences Featuring JBL Summit, Mark Levinson 600, and ARCAM Radia — April 10-12 in Chicago

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. — April 2, 2026 — HARMAN Luxury Audio Group today announced its presence at AXPONA 2026, April 10-12 at the Schaumburg Convention Center in Chicago, IL. The showcase will feature two dedicated listening rooms — Rooms 440 and 442 — spotlighting the most celebrated names in high-performance audio: ARCAM, JBL, Mark Levinson, and Revel. Headlining the event is the official public debut of the Revel Performa4 Loudspeaker Series, alongside demonstrations pairing world-class loudspeakers with some of the finest electronics available today.

“This year holds special significance for us as we celebrate three major brand milestones: the 80th anniversary of JBL, the 50th anniversary of ARCAM, and the 30th anniversary of Revel,” said Jim Garrett, Senior Director of Product Strategy and Planning at HARMAN Luxury Audio. “At AXPONA, we’re also excited to unveil Revel’s new Performa4 Series. From the debut of Revel’s most scientifically advanced loudspeakers powered by ARCAM hi-fi electronics to breathtaking demonstrations of the JBL Summit Series powered by Mark Levinson 600 Series electronics, attendees will experience the full breadth of what HARMAN Luxury Audio hi-fi systems can deliver.”

Main Room: JBL Summit x Mark Levinson 600 Series — High-Fidelity at Its Pinnacle
The main demonstration room will showcase the awe-inspiring JBL Summit Pumori floorstanding loudspeakers, a three-way design whose 10-inch woofer, 8-inch HC4 cone midrange, and signature D2 compression driver with HDI™ Sonoglass® horn deliver lifelike scale, warmth, and extraordinary dynamic range. JBL Summit Pumori will be powered by the Mark Levinson 600 Series electronics, comprising the № 626 Dual-Monaural Preamplifier and № 632 Dual-Monaural Amplifier, components that embody more than 50 years of Mark Levinson’s Pure Path circuit philosophy and new Tectonic industrial design. Together, Summit Pumori and the 600 Series form a reference system of breathtaking authority, transparency, and musical truth. Source content will be delivered via the ARCAM ST25 network streamer, providing audiophile-grade playback from high-resolution streaming services and local libraries with pristine clarity.

Second Room: Revel Performa4 x ARCAM Radia — Official World Debut
AXPONA 2026 marks the official public unveiling of the new Revel Performa4 Series, the most ambitious loudspeaker collection Revel has ever produced. The setup will feature the flagship Performa4 F346 Triple 6.5-inch floorstanding loudspeakers built around Revel’s newly developed Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC™) and Micro Ceramic Composite (MCC) transducers, and a 7th-generation Acoustic Lens waveguide. These technologies deliver exceptional driver rigidity, reduced coloration, and a level of acoustic accuracy that sets a new standard for the class.

Driving the F346 will be the ARCAM SA45 integrated amplifier, delivering 200 watts per channel of refined Class G amplification with a fully discrete signal path and high-resolution ESS Sabre DAC, paired with the ARCAM CD5 CD player for a pure, dedicated two-channel source. Together, the SA45 and CD5 form a cohesive ARCAM Radia Series front end that lets the Performa4’s extraordinary transparency and dynamics speak without compromise, a fitting complement to 30 years of Revel’s science-driven loudspeaker design.

Visitors will have the opportunity to hear the Revel Performa4 7th-generation Acoustic Lens waveguide, FEA-optimized ceramic composite drivers, and precision crossover networks in a real listening environment for the very first time, an unmissable moment for audio enthusiasts. Static displays of the new Revel Performa4 family will also be on hand, giving attendees a closer look at the craftsmanship and design behind the line.
