The LSR28P is
a bi-amplified system that builds on the foundations of JBL's proprietary
Linear Spatial Reference (LSR) technology, which has created a new
standard in studio reference monitoring. The JBL LSR28P utilizes
two new JBL LSR transducers, the 218F 8" low-frequency transducer
and the 053Ti High-Frequency transducer. This system also
incorporates other recent JBL transducer technology innovations,
including Differential Drive® technology and the carbon fiber
composite materials. The advent of new self-powered configurations
for these technologies redefines what an accurate near-field monitoring
system can be.
All of the new
self-powered JBL LSR speaker systems are based upon Linear Spatial
Reference (LSR) technology - which has redefined what a sound reproduction
system can and should be. Linear Spatial Reference is a collection
of carefully calculated techniques that go far beyond simple on-axis
frequency response measurements. Instead, LSR technology measures
the performance of a speaker over a sphere that encompasses all
energy radiated into the listening environment in every direction
and analyzed algorithmically via known psycho-acoustic principles
to calculate complete and accurate optimization of the sound field,
including the direct sound field, the reflected sound field and
the reverberant sound field.
All of the new
LSR speaker systems incorporate other JBL innovations, including
JBL's Differential Drive (DD)technology. DD utilizes two voice coils
in each driver, with their magnetic gaps set 180 degrees out of
phase with each other. A third coil acts as dynamic brake at maximum
excursion to reduce audible distortion. The net effect is to double
the power handling capability of each driver, allowing the Differential
Drive® drivers to deliver virtually distortion-free audio at
higher power levels than ever before. In combination with other
new design elements, such as the nested magnetic structure and preferential
airflow design which further increase efficiency by more rapidly
dissipating heat, the JBL Differential Drive® driver is the
most effective on the market.
Other JBL-designed
or developed components and technologies include the latest in composite
materials, such as a carbon-fiber composite baffle to reduce resonances
and a rigid inertial ground for the transducers to reduce box loses.
A Linear Dynamic Aperture (LDA) reinforces the low frequency response
for an exceptionally well-defined bass. Flared inner and outer sections
reduce port compression and air noise, fully optimizing the low
power compression designs of the Differential Drive® woofers.
"The new
JBL powered LSR products are designed to take the LSR series further
into the new generation of recording, mixing and mastering suites,
offering them both the new benchmark of excellence that the LSR
technology represents and the choice of both passive and active
reference monitoring systems," said David Kimm, Director, Recording
& Broadcast, JBL Professional. "The LSR28P and LSR12P systems
are solutions designed to create a mid-field and near-field monitoring
environment second to none, and that is exactly what they accomplish."
