ELKHART, IN. – The all-new JHD36A has made its debut into the heavy duty market. Featuring the latest technology with Bluetooth hands-free calling and app control, this stereo is designed for all construction and agriculture applications.

“Customers already love the modern technology that allows for hands free calls and system controls from any smart phone or tablet with the built in app control. It is also Sirius XM ready so it appeals to a large market.” Mark Wojtys, HD industry manager at ASA Electronics said. This stereo features a 12V DC power connection and a full 180 watts maximum. Its conformal coating protects its components from the elements that are commonly encountered in heavy duty applications.

Dual Electronics Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement with Voxx International Corporation to acquire the Jensen branded aftermarket car audio business. Upon completion of the transaction, which is expected on August 1, 2015, Dual will add the Jensen multimedia, head units, speakers and amplifier products to its car audio lineup. The acquisition complements the current assortment of Dual- and Axxera-branded car audio products, and allows the company to meet the needs of a broader range of customers in the 12-volt market.

“We are excited to make this significant acquisition, as I know first hand that Jensen is one of the most well-known and powerful brands in the 12-volt industry,” said Jim Braun, President and CEO, Dual Electronics. “We look forward to advancing Jensen’s long standing and proud heritage for many years to come. We are also looking forward to continuing to work with Jensen’s suppliers and customers for a seamless transition and continued mutual success,” added Braun.

"VOXX has placed the Jensen brand in very capable hands," said Tom Malone, President Voxx Electronics Corp " and this change will allow Voxx Electronics to focus its sales, marketing and product development efforts on what have been our core categories for many years. Rear seat entertainment, remote start and security, safety and convenience accessories and our telematics initiatives will all benefit from this increased focus. We remain committed to the 12-volt market, to our loyal retail and expeditor customers and to the advancement of new and emerging technologies within this space. We would also like to wish Jim and the entire Dual team nothing but success.”
