Speaker Placement

The design of the LSR4300 system lends itself to a wide variety of placement options. Covered here is a typical stereo setup for near- to mid-field monitoring, where the mix position is generally 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) away from the speakers.

While the exact stereo listening angle is largely a matter of personal preference, we recommend the monitors be arranged to form an equilateral triangle as shown in the illustration below.

Recommended stereo speaker positioning

The center of the high-frequency transducer should be at the same height (on-axis) as the ear level of the listener. Ideally, they should be placed on suitable speaker stands and well away from boundaries such as walls, ceilings, and large pieces of furniture. The LSR4328P and LSR4326P are equipped with mounting points, to allow wall and ceiling mounting using industry-standard mounting hardware. See Appendix D on page 37 in this manual for details.

LSR4300 Series monitors are designed to be positioned vertically and not horizontally. This orientation provides optimum dispersion over the widest listening angle and eliminates the phase shift that can occur when the relative distances between the woofer, tweeter and the listening position are altered. Horizontal placement directs high-frequency response into the work surface causing destructive cancellation resulting in inaccuracies in the frequency response.

LSR4326P, LSR4328P specifications

The JBL LSR4328P and LSR4326P studio monitors are part of JBL’s acclaimed professional audio lineup, known for their precision, clarity, and innovative technology. Designed for critical listening environments, these monitors are ideal for music production, broadcast, and post-production applications.

One of the standout features of the LSR4328P is its 28/26-watt bi-amplified system, which delivers powerful and detailed sound reproduction. The LSR4328P has an 8-inch woofer and a 1-inch titanium tweeter, while the LSR4326P is equipped with a 6.5-inch woofer and the same 1-inch titanium tweeter. This dual-cone design ensures that both low and high frequencies are reproduced accurately, making them suitable for a variety of musical genres.

Both models include JBL’s patented Image Control Waveguide technology. This unique design enhances the monitors’ stereo imaging and provides a wider sweet spot, allowing listeners to experience a more immersive soundstage. With precise positioning of the tweeter, the waveguide helps achieve a smooth frequency response, which is essential for accurate mixing and mastering.

Another notable feature is the integrated room control EQ, which allows users to tailor the monitors to their specific acoustic environment. This helps to counteract the effects of room acoustics, ensuring that the sound remains consistent and accurate regardless of the listening environment. Additionally, both models support various input options, including balanced XLR and TRS connections, making them versatile for different studio setups.

The LSR4328P and LSR4326P also incorporate advanced DSP technology for refined performance. This includes precise limiting and crossover functionalities that ensure optimal power distribution between the woofer and tweeter. The result is a balanced sound that does not compromise on detail or frequency response.

In terms of build quality, both models feature a sleek, professional design with a durable cabinet that minimizes resonance and distortion. They are equipped with a front-mounted volume control, making it easy to adjust levels during sessions. Together, the JBL LSR4328P and LSR4326P blend state-of-the-art technology with user-friendly features, establishing them as essential tools for professionals seeking high-fidelity sound in their recordings.
