JBL is redefining how musicians create music with the launch of JBL BandBox, an AI powered smart practice amp and portable speaker range designed for beginner and experienced musicians alike. The all-new JBL BandBox Solo and JBL BandBox Trio feature AI-powered, real-time vocal and instrument separation, rich signature JBL sound, and built-in effects and practice tools. Blending the freedom of portable audio with powerful, musician-focused tools, BandBox empowers you to practice, jam, and create anytime you want.
AI-powered vocal & instrument separation
At the heart of BandBox is Stem AI, an intelligent vocal and instrument separation technology that lets you isolate or remove vocals, guitar, or drums from any track in real time on the device. Whether you’re learning a solo, rehearsing with friends or improvising over your favorite song, BandBox makes it easy to turn any track into a custom backing mix tailored to your instrument. This real-time AI-powered stem separation gives musicians incredible control over their practice environment. Rather than just playing along with a song, you can make your performance part of the mix, backed by your favorite track.
Portable bold JBL sound
With powerful, wide-ranging JBL sound that is tuned for instruments, vocals and music playback to completely immerse players and audiences during both practices and performances. The JBL BandBox range delivers exceptional, well-rounded audio with crisp highs, a captivating midrange and booming lows to enrich your sessions whether at home or on-the-go.
Designed for musicians: BandBox Solo
JBL BandBox Solo is engineered for individual players who want to both simplify and level-up their practice setup without sacrificing sound quality or creative control. Despite its compact size, Solo is a fully featured musical tool that lets you plug in, play, and create with ease.
Solo includes one guitar/microphone input, making it ideal for guitarists, singer-songwriters, home players, or anyone looking to practice with minimal gear. Stream your favorite songs and instantly engage Stem AI to remove or reduce specific elements from the track. Remove the guitar part and take it on yourself with the backing of the original song.
Enjoy more features through the JBL ONE app; select from vintage and modern amp models to match your mood, plus enjoy classic effects like phaser, chorus and reverb, without the need for external pedals. Easily choose from one of the presets or create your own for a totally individual sound. A built-in looper provides rhythmic layering and solo creativity, while a pitch shifter and tuner ensure you’re always in key and on pitch. The intuitive app interface makes all of this accessible without requiring advanced technical skills. Whether you’re practicing in your bedroom, writing songs in the park, or rehearsing in your garage, BandBox Solo is a powerful, portable companion that’s always ready to play.
For groups and gigging: BandBox Trio
While BandBox Solo is tailored for individual use, BandBox Trio builds on the same foundation with features designed for group setups. BandBox Trio includes four instrument inputs, making it ideal for small bands, jam sessions, or duos who want to perform together without the need for a full setup. You can balance levels, shape tone, and apply effects directly from the speaker thanks to the built-in four-channel mixer, providing flexibility and immediacy.
Extend your sessions by simply swapping power packs, as BandBox Trio also includes a replaceable battery, perfect for long jamming sessions or rehearsals. It also features enhanced physical controls on the unit itself, giving users more tactile command over their sound without relying solely on the app.

“The JBL BandBox was engineered with one goal: to meet the exact needs of musicians and blending it with cutting-edge technology. And here it is! The JBL BandBox is the first-ever speaker to feature the revolutionary on-device Stem AI algorithm – it’s right there, inside the speaker! This groundbreaking tech can instantly isolate and remove vocals or instruments from any song, all without needing the internet or the cloud. This is a massive leap forward. It makes practicing, making progress, and jamming with friends or solo easier than you ever thought possible,” said Grace Koh, general manager and vice president, Consumer Audio, Harman Asia Pacific.
