Whether you’re new to AV or stepping up from an older AVR, the JBL MA310 blends immersive sound with sleek style and a user-friendly design to create the ideal all-rounder.
The perfect introduction to home cinema
As an introduction to the delights of true home cinema sound, the JBL MA310 is hard to beat. As one of the leading brands in professional cinema, few can beat JBL’s pedigree. Fire up the MA310 and you’ll hear that heritage in all its cinematic glory. With 5.2 channels, you’ll hear effects whizz around you, just like being at the cinema. Despite its technological prowess, the MA310 is easy to set up and use. The dedicated EZ Set EQ app makes getting started a breeze and the clean design and clear display is far less intimidating to find assimilate than other, more complex AVRs.
Immersive surround sound
With 5.2 channels you have the option of adding front and rear left and right speakers, along with a centre and up to two active subwoofers. This not only gives you an enveloping sound via the rear speakers but also crisp and clear dialogue from the dedicated centre speaker. Using twin subwoofers helps give a more even spread of bass around the room and also lets you use smaller subwoofers to create the same (or greater) bass.
Efficient, digital amplification
Featuring fully digital amplification, the MA310 runs cool and is energy efficient. With 60 watts power output, it has ample drive for smaller and medium-sized rooms and comfortably outperforms most soundbars.
Optimised set-up with EZ Set EQ app
Download the free EZ Set EQ app and enjoy easy-to-use room equalisation for optimised sound quality in your home. The calibration system collects room acoustics data from each speaker and is a one-time process that takes just a few minutes to complete.
Your AV system, fully connected
It’s not just your TV that benefits from the MA310, but your entire AV system. With four HDMI inputs you can connect your games console, set-top TV box, Blu-ray player and more. Coaxial and optical digital inputs are perfect for a CD player and network streamer, or use the analogue inputs if your sources don’t have digital outputs. Whatever you’re plugging in, flexibility is key with this JBL AVR.
Bluetooth your smartphone for music streaming
With Bluetooth connectivity, you can also pair the JBL with your smartphone, tablet or laptop and stream music wirelessly. Bluetooth provides a quick and easy way to listen to your stored music or stream from your favourite music service, such as Spotify or Apple Music.
Timeless, minimalist design
With just two dials and six buttons on the front panel, the JBL MA310 isn’t just easy-to-use, it’s refreshingly clean and clutter-free in style, too. The same goes for the remote control, which has a clean, logical layout, with just the buttons you need most.
Take a step-up from a soundbar and enjoy truly immersive home cinema, with the JBL MA310.
Please note, although titled 'receiver' there is no tuner radio or Internet radio included.
”If you're short on space and cash, the Wharfedale DX-3 HCP remains the surround sound package to get.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2025 award-winner.
Award-winning heritage
Following on from the DX-2, perhaps the most highly reviewed speaker package in its category, the DX-3 has an unbeatable heritage of excellence. The winning form continues with the latest speakers, which are closely related to Wharfedale’s equally renowned Diamond 12 series. With such a blend of talent in the mix, it’s little wonder that the Wharfedale DX-3 sounds so impressive.
Full-range satellite speakers for dynamic sound
Based on Wharfedale’s Diamond 12 series technology, the four satellite speakers deliver a much fuller and more rounded sound than most satellite designs. Although slightly larger than some, the benefit to sound quality is huge. All four speakers are a two-way design with dedicated silk dome tweeter and woven polypropylene woofer. Along with the rigid cabinets, it’s these drivers that produce the precise, dynamic sound that’s perfect for delivering immersive soundtracks and special effects around your room.
Dedicated centre speaker delivers vocal clarity
Designed specifically for the purpose, the DX-3’s centre speaker utilises an aperiodic layout for the clearest vocals. The horizontal format speaker uses twin woofers, giving you a broad spread of sound between the front speakers, without ‘gaps’ in the sound stage. The design also helps tie the sound to the screen, especially when used with a large screen TV or projector.
Powerful bass response
For that edge-of-seat, cinematic thrill, a powerful bass response is a must, and that’s exactly what the DX-3’s subwoofer provides. With its 8” cone and 75 watt active amplifier, it masters every bass scenario with ease. From an energetic soundtrack to a stadium rock concert, the bass is always there to be felt as well as heard. Auto on/off means that you can place the subwoofer out of sight, without having to reach the controls. Phase inversion lets you position the subwoofer behind you, if needed.
Choice of finish
Available in Black oak or Walnut finishes, the DX-3 speaker pack makes a great match for a wide range of decors. Should you choose to upgrade any of the speakers, such as swapping the front speakers for floorstanders, you’ll find the finishes and aesthetics tie in well with Wharfedale’s other speaker ranges.
For a home cinema speaker package that sparkles with talent, take a listen to the Wharfedale DX-3.
