Product Information
Connect and stream all your music in iconic style, with the JBL L42ms.
Powerful JBL sound from a stylish all-in-one
Delivering iconic JBL sound from your music streaming services, TV and other sources, the L42ms has all you need within one, stylish system. As well as its extensive connectivity, the powerful speaker system, with bass contour adjustment, creates a rich and spacious soundscape.
Your choice of streaming
With support for Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in, the JBL L42ms makes the perfect match for both Apple iOS and Android devices. Spotify Connect is also on board (premium accounts required for full functionality), connecting you directly to your favourite music services. For a quick and easy wireless link, the L42ms also has Bluetooth onboard.
Connect your TV and more
Ideal as a soundbar alternative, the L42ms is equipped with an HDMI ARC socket. Link up your TV and enjoy a boost to the sound that easily beats most TV’s built-in speakers and even matches many top-rate soundbars. Other inputs include a USB for your media devices and 3.5mm analogue for any music source* with a headphone or RCA output.
*turntables may require an additional phono pre-amp.
High Resolution, stereo sound
Compatible with High-Resolution music files up to 24-bit/96kHz, this makes the perfect choice for taking advantage of your Hi-Res music files and streaming services. Stereo speakers, with aluminium dome tweeters deliver a crisp and spacious sound that’s wide enough to reach across the entire wall.
JBL punch
Just as you’d expect from this pro-brand, the JBL L42ms punches hard. With a total of 200 watts available, party-level sound is always close to hand. Long throw woofers and a dual bass reflex ported cabinet ensures the speaker system easily handles the available power, with smooth and punchy bass effortlessly driving the music along.
Adjust the sound to suit
For the best sound in your room, the L42ms comes with a bass contour switch, meaning that the bass doesn’t become too boomy if the speaker is placed in a corner. For the most cinematic sound, SFX (Sound Field Expansion) creates a wider, more immersive soundfield.
Seamless control
The L42ms offers a range of control options. A touch panel on the speaker itself gives quick and easy access to power and volume settings. The supplied remote control provides additional functionality, while letting you control the sound from the other side of the room. If you’d prefer to use your smartphone to control as well as stream, then JBL’s app makes this a breeze, too.
High quality finish with retro appeal
This sweeping music centre has precisely the eye-catching presence you’d expect from JBL. The Quadrex foam grille creates firm visual links with JBL’s heritage speakers, which you take further with the natural walnut, furniture-grade wood veneer. Alternatively, choose the timeless black walnut finish.
Stand out from the streaming crowd, with the striking JBL L42ms.
