| FRANKFURT,
GERMANY, April 6, 2005 — Reaffirming the unmatched
sonic integrity and innovative design of the LSR6300 Series studio
monitors, JBL Professional enters the ProLight + Sound/MusikMesse
Frankfurt 2005 show with a year’s worth of successful projects
in music recording, film production, and television broadcast.
This year of achievement was crowned by a Technical GRAMMY® at
the 47th Annual GRAMMY® Awards, presented to JBL for outstanding
technical contribution to the recording field.
Recently,
LSR6300 monitors were installed in the production control rooms
of the GRAMMY® Awards telecast. The LSR6300s
were selected by the audio production team, led by producer and
Advisor to the Awards Telecast, Phil Ramone, and Michael Abbott,
Grammy Audio Technical Manager. Ramone and Abbott viewed LSR6300
sonic performance and its built-in RMC™ Room Mode Correction
system as a key advantage when producing audio elements and monitoring
in five different rooms: The 5.1 music mix room, audience reaction
mix room , audio tape playback room, the sweetening room, and
the viewing room where Recording Academy executives monitored
the broadcast. “We needed a dependable system that would
give us equal voicing in all rooms and the JBL LSR6300s delivered,” said
Ramone. (See accompanying photo: Klaus Landsberg, Mix Engineer,

In one of the highest-profile studio projects, Frank Filipetti
and Phil Ramone are currently mixing Paul Simon's Graceland for
DVD-A release in Ramone's studio, using the LSR6300 system. According
to Filipetti, the LSR’s proprietary Room Mode Correction
(RMC) technology came in handy for the mixing process, since
Ramone’s studio is constructed in what was once a barn
with very high ceilings. “There were some low frequency
standing waves we needed to eliminate,” Filipetti said. “With
the JBL system, we were able to actually fine-tune the room,
get a much better idea what was going on in the low end."
Accomplished engineer Nathaniel Kunkel, recently based the monitoring
of his mobile Studio Without Walls concept around the LSR6300
Series. Transporting his studio to wherever the music takes him,
Kunkel realized he needed monitoring that could provide accuracy
in each new setting and therefore chose the LSR6300 system with
Room Mode Correction (RMC™). Upon completion of recent
Crosby Nash and Keane albums, Kunkle commented “These speakers
translate, and do it well. I have been very happy with my tracks
and my mixes, in both stereo and surround. I can’t imagine
working without them."
In the world of film, it’s essential elements and stems
produced in editorial rooms translate well to the dubbing stage
and ultimately the theater. Chris Fogel, one of Hollywood’s
A-list scoring engineers, installed a new LSR6300 studio monitor
system for surround mixing and recording music scores of major
feature film projects, including Wimbledon and 13 Going on 30. “The
main thing for me about the LSR6300 Series is the positive comment
coming back from the dubbing stage: ‘We’re not making
any changes, it’s translating great,’” Fogel
said.
Dreamworks’ animated feature, Shark Tale, which took the
box office record for the largest October theatrical release
in history, was sound designer Wade Wilson’s most recent
project on a resumé that includes, among many others,
Shrek and Mystic River, and The Perfect Storm. Wilson relied
upon the balanced clarity of JBL LSR6328P loudspeakers with RMC
Room Mode Correction to create the sound environment. “I
have been using the new LSR6300’s because they translate
so well to the dubbing stage,” said Wilson. “They
give me a sound that’s so full and round and everything
is so present in the mix. I can’t find another speaker
that produces that way for me.”
