Responding to increasing demand for premium audio solutions at large-scale events, The Production People (TPP) has made a significant investment in JBL’s state-of-the-art audio systems, marking a milestone in their journey to deliver exceptional sound experiences. Following a strategic divestment of audio inventory during the COVID-19 pandemic, 2024 heralds a new chapter as TPP scales up its offerings to meet the needs of diverse and expanding events.

The reinvestment decision was inspired by a visit to the JBL Tour Summit in early 2024. Sheldon Gooi, director at TPP, attended with his audio team and was impressed by the range of offerings from the VTX A-Series, from its innovative rigging, down to its comprehensive software solutions.

“The VTX system was a revelation,” said Gooi. “From the seamless integration of hardware to the powerful sound quality, it’s exactly what we need for increasingly large events.”

To ensure the ideal solution for their operational needs, Electronics & Engineering (E&E)’s team worked with TPP to facilitate in-depth testing of the VTX system directly within their warehouse. With JBL VTX A8, A6, B18, and B28 loudspeakers at their disposal, TPP explored various setups and techniques. Hands-on support from Harman’s team, including on-site training, further solidified the team’s confidence in the system’s capabilities for flawless event deployment.

This collaboration also resulted in TPP replacing its entire Portable PA inventory with the JBL EON One Compact, EON One MK2, PRX908, PRX912, and PRX918XLF. These additions ensure consistent sound quality across diverse events, from small meetings to large-scale conferences and live music productions.

“We specialize in a broad spectrum of events, and having consistent, high-quality audio solutions is paramount,” said Gooi. “JBL’s extensive product range, coupled with E&E’s exceptional after-sales support, ensures we deliver premium sound and service at every event. This partnership positions us as leaders in the market, ready to take our audio offerings to new heights.”

Gary Goh, CEO of E&E, remarked, “We’ve enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Sheldon, and it’s been rewarding to grow this collaboration over the years. We’re delighted to see this partnership evolve through their latest acquisition, which will undoubtedly elevate event experiences for their clients.”

“JBL’s rich heritage in consistently delivering professional loudspeakers with unparalleled performance and reliability, based on a deep understanding of the demands of live sound makes it a solid investment,” said Amar Subash, VP & GM, HARMAN Professional Solutions APAC. “We are happy to welcome TPP to the fast-growing network of VTX Series rental houses across APAC and are excited to see them elevating live event experiences with JBL.”
