Description

Size:5-Inch Building on JBL legacy of high-quality sound performance, the 3 series Mk II represents an upgrade of the impressive LSR3 series. These compact, professional quality, powered studio monitors retain the LSR3 series' image control waveguide for incredible detail and imaging, and the broad sweet spot that means you get optimal sound even off-axis. The Mk II series now features updated high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) transducers, which respectively provide optimized damping for superior transient response and greater linearity that allows impressively deep bass with lower harmonic distortion. Upgrades also include new boundary equalization (EQ), which restores neutral LF response when speakers are placed on the work surface and adjacent walls. Hear for yourself why JBL is legendary in sound performance and quality.

  • Phenominal Speakers - Best I've owned so far
Size: 5-Inch
I thought BOSE sounded fine and never really tried anything else (figured that I wasn't missing out all that much) and any speaker considered 'good' would cost $2000+ and required a larger cabinet to fill a room. I always wanted to try a set of studio monitors for listening to music and decided that these were the ones based on just about every review (all highly positive) I read and, at this price, why not?! Intended to use this only for my Turntable but the sound out of these things are so stellar I'm using it for all my music playing. Hooked up my COWON x7 and it's amazing to listen to mp3's and flac files through these speakers they sound fantastic. The BOSE is currently unplugged and going into storage until I can figure out what to use it for (not for serious music listening, that's for sure). The clarity of these monitors are simply astounding and the bass is phenomenal. I agree with another reviewer here for regular casual music listening (pretty loud) a sub woofer isn't needed. Like him, I tried a sub woofer and like the sound better with just the monitors themselves. The low end on these things are fantastic and quite amazing considering they are only 5" woofers. Still sound clean and accurate a higher volumes. Don't feel the need to get any extra bass and I really, really like bass heavy music. Some people inidcate an audible hiss from their speakers -- I hear nothing like that from mine. Perfectly silent. I did buy TISINO Dual RCA to XLR Male Cable, 2 XLR to 2 RCA/Phono Plug (no phase shifting benefit whatsover, just liked the xlr connector) and these excellent cables are a perfect compliment for these speakers. I'm sure the audiophiles dropping $10K on speakers would say these aren't 'all that', but as a definite non-audiophile level fussy person I think these are 'all that' and more. ... show more

  • The hype is justified but make sure to use a truly balanced preamp
Size: 5-Inch
Jumped on the MKIIs Thanksgiving sale ($90 each) for desktop use with my PC as source. I was skeptical of the incessant hype for the SLR305 predecessors, chiefly cause none of the youtube AB sound demos (for what they're worth) wowed me at all, and I read issues of hissing and Class D treble nasties, which I can't stand. Thankfully, I get none of these from the MKIIs. I'd summarize their sound as follows: imaging is big, separation is very good, bass is dynamic, mids are well-balanced; not recessed, not sticking out, not syrupy, just well-behaved, and treble is detailed, polite, and never harsh. Hmm, I'm really impressed overall. A couple of nitpicks: I'd have preferred they'd kept the matte baffle instead of this gloss plastic front trim. Also, the +4db / -10db sensitivity switch is more like a recessed slider for which you need a micro screwdriver to adjust - it's not like the eq or boundary switches and doesn't "click" at either end. Don't know why they didn't use the same switch. Finally, you really need to run these fully balanced to get the most out of the onboard amps. I first hooked up my full home rig source (balanced DAC-preamp) to the +4db XLR inputs with the JBL volume pots set to max and the sound is fantastico! No hiss, tons of detail and presence at all volume levels. In contrast, running 3.5mm stereo direct from the PC to the JBL's (unbalanced) TRS jacks set to -10db sensitivity is a massive step down. It's still fine, but nowhere near what the JBLs are capable of. So be aware, if you can run these truly balanced with a good preamp at +4db sensitivty, do that, please. ... show more

  • Best Studio Monitors for the $
Size: 5-Inch
I should preface by saying these are my first pair of studio monitors for my own personal use, but I have used the LSR305's in a different environment before. That being said, I chose these over the competing monitors in this price range (Rokit, Yamaha, Mackie) because of their incredible low end response. I seriously doubt you'll find a better pair of studio monitors for the price, JBL has outdone themselves again. I will note that I experience a "hiss" or white noise when these are powered on and connected via my Focusrite Scarlett. Many people have complained about this on the LSR305's but I don't really notice it all that much. ... show more
