JBL History & Partnership

Introduction

JBL has been a foundational part of the Showco sound, equipping legendary tours and helping define the standard for live audio. This page is dedicated to the partnership and innovations between Showco and JBL, spotlighting the gear, stories, and milestones that shaped concert history.

Historical Context

Throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and beyond, JBL loudspeakers and audio components became the backbone of Showco’s touring rigs. Their reliability and sonic clarity earned the trust of engineers, artists, and Showco crews across countless shows and venues.

Personal Note
