JBL LSR2328P owner manual Introduction, JBL LSR Linear Spatial Reference Design

Section 2: Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of LSR2300 Series Studio Monitors. The LSR2300 Series Studio Monitors meet JBL’s high standards for accuracy and long-term reliability in demanding professional applications. All LSR2300 models incorporate JBL professional transducer and network technologies to provide accurate frequency response, exceptional low frequency extension and high SPL capability. JBL LSR Linear Spatial Reference design ensures greater accuracy at the mix position in a broad range of production rooms. Additionally, each speaker is equipped to integrate into professional production systems and work environments.

JBL LSR Linear Spatial Reference Design

Because listening environments vary, JBL designed the LSR2300 system using LSR Linear Spatial Reference design criteria that improves accuracy at the listening position in a broad range of rooms. The key to accuracy is ensuring not just the on-axis sound, but also the reflected sound reaching the mix position is neutral. While most manufacturers take only a single on-axis measurement of the speaker’s performance, Linear Spatial Reference design criteria requires 72 measurements, 360 degrees around the speaker, yielding more than 1,200 times more data. This data is used in the design of critical system components, enabling JBL to engineer complete systems that deliver smooth off-axis response. The result: clear accurate sound at the listening position in any room.

The LSR2300 Series includes a range of features to meet the needs of demanding audio production applications.

•LSR2300 low frequency magnetically-shielded transducers are equipped with 1.5" (LSR2328P and LSR2325P) and 2.0" (LSR2310SP) voice coils with robust motor structures to provide excellent low frequency performance. By reducing thermal-related effects, the LSR2300 Studio Monitors sound the same at low, medium and high levels. The woofers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with magnetically sensitive displays and equipment.

•All models are internally amplified with high-output Class A-B monolithic power amplifiers to provide high SPL (Sound Pressure Level) for demanding production applications.

•The soft dome magnetically-shielded High-Frequency Transducer in the LSR2325P and LSR2328P incorporates optimally damped materials to improve transient response and minimize distortion. By reducing distortion in the lower operating range, where the ear is most sensitive, ear fatigue is reduced.

•A JBL Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) Waveguide is precisely engineered to achieve smooth mid and high frequency response for a targeted listening window of ±30º horizontally and ±15º vertically. This provides greater accuracy at the mix position where the blend of on-axis and reflected off-axis sound is critical. The Elliptical High Frequency Aperture around the tweeter optimizes high frequency coverage for smoother in-room response above 9 kHz

•The LSR2300 series models include balanced XLR, 1/4" and unbalanced RCA connectors, and a variable level attenuator to allow interface to a broad range of signal sources.

•High Frequency and Low Frequency Trim controls in the LSR2328P and LSR2325P allow adjustment of frequency response to preference, or to compensate for acoustically reflective or absorptive listening environments.

•LSR2328P and LSR2325P have integrated mounting points and reinforced enclosures to allow safe wall mounting using readily available, industry-standard mounting brackets.

•The LSR2310SP Subwoofer incorporates a professional bass management system with selectable cross-over settings to optimize low frequency performance in a range of production environments.

•When added to your LSR2300 System, the optional JBL MSC1 Monitor System Controller provides control of your system and JBL RMC™ Room Mode Correction – JBL’s ingenious technology that measures and automatically compensates for the effect of low frequency room modes at the mix position that have plagued mix engineers. More information about the JBL MSC1 Monitor System Controller is available at the JBL Professional Website
