JBL is once again pushing the boundaries of audio innovation with the launch of the JBL BandBox, a brand-new AI-powered practice amp and portable speaker range designed specifically for musicians.
Introduced in Malaysia on 3 December 2025, the BandBox lineup—featuring the JBL BandBox Solo and JBL BandBox Trio—brings an unprecedented blend of smart technology, powerful sound, and creative freedom to both beginner and experienced musicians.
Whether you’re a bedroom guitarist, indie singer-songwriter, or part of a small jamming group, the JBL BandBox range is built to elevate how you practice, jam, and create.
AI-Powered Stem Separation: Custom Backing Tracks in Real Time
At the heart of the BandBox lies Stem AI, JBL’s cutting-edge vocal and instrument separation technology. With this on-device AI system, musicians can isolate or remove vocals, guitar, bass, or drums from any track—instantly, and without using the internet.
This means you can convert any song into a ready-made backing track within seconds. Learning a solo? Remove the guitar. Practicing your vocals? Strip out the original singer. Jamming with friends? Mute the drums and improvise your own groove.
Stem AI gives musicians total control over their practice environment, making rehearsals feel more personal, dynamic, and creative.
Signature Portable JBL Sound
True to JBL’s legacy, the BandBox delivers bold, immersive audio tailored for both instruments and music playback. Expect crisp highs, expressive mids, and deep, powerful lows that make every practice session feel like a live performance.
The BandBox range is designed for versatility—whether you’re rehearsing at home, performing outdoors, or streaming music at a gathering.
JBL BandBox Solo: A Compact Creative Powerhouse for Individual Musicians

The built-in looper enables creative layering, while the pitch shifter and tuner ensure accuracy during practice.
Wherever you go—from your bedroom to a park bench—the BandBox Solo is a reliable companion for creativity on the move.
JBL BandBox Trio: Built for Bands, Duos & Gigging Musicians
