    The world’s top recording studios and touring artists rely on JBL Professional monitors to deliver unparalleled fidelity and performance. Now, we’ve optimized that technology in our smallest form factor ever. The 104 Reference Monitor’s innovative new coaxial driver design features a high-frequency driver aligned with a precisely contoured woofer cone to deliver accurate response, exceptional detail and impressive off-axis performance, for the most neutral, accurate presentation, desktop to desktop, room to room.

And JBL One Series reference monitors were created with the modern production lifestyle in mind. They not only feature a sleek, new look for JBL, but with their compact size, creators can get legendary JBL sound even in smaller workspaces. Smart features like a front-panel volume control allows convenient level adjustments without straying from the sweet spot, the front-panel headphone jack automatically mutes the speakers, providing isolation in one simple step, and dual 1/4-inch balanced and single 1/8-inch unbalanced TRS inputs accommodate a wide range of sources.

    Customers like the sound quality of the speakers. They mention that they have a good soundfield, are articulate sounding, and have outstanding volume.

    I didn’t know what to expect from these. But these are a great alternative when can’t get nothing bigger or higher. The sound is highly accurate. Could be louder but even at low volume it performs pretty well. The price your paying for these is great value. Don’t think anyone would be disappointed in these although these are my first studio monitors. To my ears they capture the details of the song clearly the bass is there and punchy where the kids aren’t lacking no where at all the highs could be a little better but nothing to complain about. I will be using these to reference my mixes not necessarily mix so I needed something flat and these are pretty much all I need for the time being huge fan of the sound of anyone isn’t purchasing these in that $200 range for a pair of studio monitors look else where and aim higher for better because these will do justice. I suggest listening to them for awhile to get a feel of what they sound like.

    Esteticamente belli e con un design alternativo, occupano meno spazio. Io li ho comprati in Amazon-usati (erano valutati in ottime condizioni) realizzando un risparmio del 60% ; l'unico difetto è rappresentato dalla manopolina del volume non originale. Li ho utilizzate per migliorare l'audio del pc desktop e devo dire che suonano molto bene: suono brillante con buona resa di alti , medi e bassi. Le ho anche equipaggiate di un DAC economico per migliorare ulteriormente i dettagli, ma anche da soli sono ottimi. Molto soddisfatto.
