JBL 1 Series 104 Compact Desktop Speakers, Powered Reference Monitors - Bluetooth enabled (sold as pair)

Product Information

I mentioned that male vocals aren't full, and sometimes female vocals are peaky, but you don't miss any details of either. They'd be very good if you need something with a headphone port and don't particularly care about the sound quality of it. The 104-BTs certainly mellow over time, so you shouldn’t judge them straight from the box, but that polishing of the register never quite reaches some frequencies. The world’s top recording studios and touring artists rely on JBL Professional monitors to deliver unparalleled fidelity and performance.

Perfect for my use in recording music through Apple Mac and garage band via Focusrite iTrack Studio. But if you need something that will get you the Hollywood unfair competitive advantage, you’ll need to look to a larger JBL speaker. With space at a premium, finding a speaker that can fit on a desk and make translatable mixes while being affordable is the holy grail of editors and entry-level media producers. Each ultra-stylish speaker will integrate seamlessly into your studio setup, giving you everything you need to start improving your mixes. This means that one speaker, the master, houses the analogue inputs, controls and the 60W Class D amplifier (that’s 30 watts per channel), and this pipes sound to the other speaker via a single speaker cable.The 104 Reference Monitor’s innovative new coaxial driver design features a high-frequency driver aligned with a precisely contoured woofer cone to deliver accurate response, exceptional detail and impressive off-axis performance, for the most neutral, accurate presentation, desktop to desktop, room to room. If you know that the frequency response will be externally compensated, you can trade off a flat response in exchange for some other desirable attribute. The extension speaker receives the audio signal from the master speaker via a standard speaker cable, and the speaker system is operated using the controls on the front panel, which include an input selector switch and a status LED for Bluetooth operation, in addition to the volume control. The JBL 104 Reference Monitors’ integrated 60-watt Class D power amplifier distributes a potent 30 watts per speaker.

Bob Dylan in "Man in the Long Black Coat" just seems a bit distant, which isn't usually the case with that song. Kosmos puts out the bass - bass with attitude, an attitude that translates as tight, punchy, low end in extreme abundance.That, you might think, was a reasonably throwaway statement, but Pickford knows his stuff – I mean really knows his stuff.

So, I ran pink noise and my normal well-known mixes through them with nothing but hope in the face of my belief about coaxial speakers. I feel as though putting some juice behind them will make them fill in and sound good, but it, unfortunately, doesn't do that. Rear inputs are sensibly labelled Master and Extension, so you can position and connect the monitors whichever way round that suits, without causing too much confusion.Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged 18+, subject to status, terms and conditions apply.
