James Bullough Lansing, founder of JBL, began making loudspeakers - mostly for radio sets - in the late 1920s, originally as the Lansing Manufacturing Company. In 1941 it was absorbed by the Altec Service Corporation to become Altec Lansing Corporation, then five years later Lansing struck out on his own again with what became James B Lansing Sound Inc - the company we now know as JBL. Four years later Lansing died at the early age of 47, but his company, after a rocky start in the post-war years, went on to build a reputation for itself in both the domestic and professional audio arenas, the latter initially with speakers for theatre use. Although the use of horn-loading rapidly declined in the hi-fi market as direct radiating speakers took over, horns remained important in the pro field and JBL has continued to develop horn technology ever since.
