JBL LSR4300 SERIES STUDIO MONITORS GO
“ BEYOND ACCURATE” WITH NEXT GENERATION
RMC™ TECHNOLOGY

The new LSR4300 Series from JBL Professional is designed to address the needs of the modern production environment.

NORTHRIDGE, CALIFORNIA, October 7, 2005 — In a move that builds upon the success of its LSR Linear Spatial Reference Series studio monitors, JBL Professional today introduced the exciting JBL LSR4300 Series that brings revolutionary capabilities to computer-based project studios, post-production and broadcast facilities.

“A great deal has changed in the recording environment in recent years,” Chaikin said. “A large segment of the market is working in rooms that are acoustically less-than-perfect. Our goal with the development of the LSR4300 family was to provide a superb-sounding studio monitor system that takes into account the acoustic realities of the modern recording environment.”

JBL has developed the LSR4300 with the understanding that many home studios and smaller recording facilities are less than ideal from an acoustic standpoint.
Building on the high-performance requirements of JBL’s LSR Series and incorporating next-generation automated version of JBL’s RMC™ Room Mode Correction technology, the LSR4300 Series plays with stunning accuracy while overcoming room problems that have plagued mixers and project studios. Each speaker has a built-in analyzer that measures and automatically compensates for low-frequency problems caused by standing waves and boundaries. Calibration of the system is simply accomplished by connecting a supplied calibration microphone to the speaker and pressing a button. The RMC system can be calibrated and settings can be viewed on the computer desktop using LSR4300 Control Center Software.

With surround sound production on the rise, the LSR4300 system is engineered to be ”surround smart.” The Harman HiQnet network along with LSR4300 Control Center Software simplify setup of large surround systems with up to eight LSR4326P or LSR4328P monitors in a single system. Recognizing the smaller facility may not have the space to place surround and center channels at the optimum distance, the LSR4300 virtually aligns each speaker on the network to compensate for variations in placement of each speaker and precisely balance sound arriving at the mix position.

Commented Chaikin, “With networking and automated RMC™, the LSR4300 Series delivers exceptional accuracy at the mix position, in any room while providing tremendous convenience for the computer recording customer.”

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.
