LSR4300 Studio Monitors Unveiled at AES
October 7, 2005
Bringing new capabilities to computer-based project studios, post-production and broadcast facilities, JBL Professional has introduced the LSR4300 Series studio monitors.
With network intelligence, and a new automated version of JBL Professional's RMC Room Mode Correction system, the LSR4300 Series adds functionality to computer production systems while overcoming room-related problems that have plagued engineers and project studios.
The JBL Professional LSR4326P (powered six-inch two-way system) and the LSR4328P (powered eight-inch two-way system) are the first studio monitors to include Harman HiQnet network protocol that enables system-wide intelligence and allows all speakers to be centrally controlled from the mix position. With supplied LSR4300 Control Center software, the user can address system settings, create custom EQ presets, and store and recall system configurations from the computer desktop. Additionally, the LSR4300 ships with a wireless remote control that allows control of all LSR4300 features from anywhere in the room.
Computer users will be pleased with the inclusion of the LSR4300's dedicated system volume control, mute and solo functions and input switching that allows the user to monitor a range of analog and digital playback sources. Each model includes high-resolution 24-bit, 96kHz AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital inputs to interface with computer audio interfaces, playback sources and processors.
The distinctive look of the speaker's front panel conveys its differentiation. A tri-color meter display indicates system output and a compliment of illuminated controls provides access to all user functions including EQ, SOLO, Input selection volume and RMC calibration. When networked, all speakers can be controlled from the front panel of any speaker.
JBL LSR4328P and LSR4326P Series Studio Monitors are available in pair packs that include an accessory kit containing a calibration microphone, remote control, LSR4300 Control Center Software, USB and network cables. Manufacturer's suggested retail price for the LSR4326P 6" system with accessory kit is $1,399 per pair. MSRP for the LSR4328P 8" system with accessory kit is $1,699 per pair.
