    Product Description

    Building on JBL legacy of high-quality sound performance, the 3 series Mk II represents an upgrade of the impressive LSR3 series. These compact, professional quality, powered studio monitors retain the LSR3 series' image control waveguide for incredible detail and imaging, and the broad sweet spot that means you get optimal sound even off-axis. The Mk II series now features updated high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) transducers, which respectively provide optimized damping for superior transient response and greater linearity that allows impressively deep bass with lower harmonic distortion. Upgrades also include new boundary equalization (EQ), which restores neutral LF response when speakers are placed on the work surface and adjacent walls. Hear for yourself why JBL is legendary in sound performance and quality.

    A Perfect Two-Way Speaker
    5 Stars
    A Perfect Two-Way Speaker
    At normal listening levels -- below pain/OSHA hearing damage threshold -- this speaker is fantastic.On-axis performance measured from six feet away in a room with a hard floor followed a Harman target small room curve. Individual near field measurements of the tweeter and woofer were flat along the Harman down sloping curve. I didn't check off-axis because off-axis performance will follow the design engineering conducted by JBL. In this case, the primary purpose of testing the on-axis performance is to see if I received a product with a manufacturing defect. For example, one of the components in the speaker could have been damaged during manufacturing or transport.Like all stereo channel speakers, you'd need to add a separate low frequency system if you want complete hi-fi sound but that's a limitation imposed by listening to music inside a room not the speaker. If you don't want to mess with that complexity this speaker will play down to 50Hz to give the impression of full sound for casual listening.I'm tempted to say this speaker is as good as it gets for residential living space sized rooms. I won't go as far as that because speakers can be designed to produce different sound fields for different applications. But for a regular speaker this speaker is really (really) good. Or maybe I can say it this way: if you listen to this speaker and don't like it you can be sure the problem is not the speaker. Maybe the speaker is sitting in the wrong part of the room (e.g. jammed into a corner or up against a wall), maybe your signal source is bad, maybe you want an entirely different type of speaker, or maybe one of the speaker components has a manufacturing defect or got damaged during transport. Which brings up a point, you could use this speaker as a reference to trouble shoot your system. That's a big deal because speakers are normally the weakest link in a home system.If you had an expensive stereo system set up by someone else and you wanted to find out if it was actually good you could buy these speakers to compare. There are a lot of very expensive stereo speakers out there that aren't as good as these speakers. Which brings up another point, if you practice listening to these speakers you will be better equipped to identify snake oil. You can use these speakers to teach yourself how to not get sent down rabbit holes by well-meaning audiophiles who don't know what they're talking about. There are some well-meaning audiophiles out there who are unwittingly influenced by aspects of the speaker that have nothing to do with the sound of the speaker. They sell you snake oil without knowing they're selling you snake oil, they're innocent dupes. In the context of audio performance, you would need to have a really good reason to buy speakers more expensive than these and you would need to be sure you knew exactly -- through personal listening experience -- why you were spending that extra money. On the other hand, if you want a pretty speaker that looks beautiful in your room then absolutely spend the extra money. Just make sure the pretty speaker sounds as good as these JBLs. These JBLs can be your reference.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excelentes para el precio!
    Reviewed in Mexico on December 30, 2020
    Comencemos por lo bueno!
    Edito: Ya tengo los dos altavoces para comparar.

    1- Para su tamaño y precio, tiene unos graves agradables sin ser invasivos. Podría ser mejor, pero para un driver de 5" esta bastante decente.
    2. Los controles son intuitivos y su EQ es parcialmente cierto. Los filtros shelving tienen algunos errores pero nuevamente, bastante decente.
    3. Me parece que tiene una escucha agradable, aunque tiene bastante brillo a partir de 12kHz (Ver la medición). Probablemente al mezclar hay que tener en cuenta estos defectos o tener en el procesador un filtro paramétrico de unos 6 dB (en el DAW o un procesador físico)

    Lo malo:

    1. La respuesta en frecuencia de graves es mencionada hasta 40 Hz en su spec sheet, que es muy probable debido al pico que observamos en 50 Hz en la medición. Ojo, no es una respuesta en frecuencia plana. Esto hace que en los graves no sea tan preciso y tal vez comprar un subwoofer es muy buena idea (y hacerle su repectivo corte a estos altavoces).
    2.El spec sheet menciona 108 dBC. Esto es falso (a medias, me imagino). El máximo nivel alcanzado SIN distorsionar fué de 100 dBSPL. Me imagino que es posible llegar a ese nivel mencionado por el spec sheet distorsionando y casi reventando los drivers durante 1 microsegundo... pero en el ambito de lo práctico, es impreciso este valor.
    3. Los altavoces no son completamente consistentes entre si. Pueden observar en las imagenes las diferencias. Hay cerca de 1 dB de diferencia en las altas frecuencias y una caída importante en la coherencia de la parte de graves. No es un asunto que sea difícil de arreglar (al menos en alta frecuencia), pero se notan los límites del altavoz y su construcción de drivers.
    4. La fase presenta un retraso grupal importante, sin embargo musicalmente el "time smearing" es practicamente nulo.

    En conclusión: Un altavoz bastante bueno considerando su uso en estudio amateur o escucha y su relación calidad precio: $2100 pesos mexicanos.
    ¿Es posible usarlo en un estudio profesional?
    Seguro, pero hay que tomar en cuenta las alteraciones en baja frecuencia y alta frecuencia. Un procesador o un EQ de mínima fase en nuestra cadena puede ayudar a aliviar estos defectos.

    Para quien tiene curiosidad sobre la medición:
    Los instrumentos de medición fueron
    - Microfono DPA 4007
    - Focusrite 2i2
    - SIM3
    - Smaart v8

    Las señales de medición fueron
    - Ruido rosa (con factor de cresta de 12 dB)
    - M-Noise (para medición de max SPL)
    - Sweep de 10s

    La medición fue realizada en campo cercano intentando simular un ambiente semi anecoico.
    La medición de SPL y distorsión esta basada en el procedimiento señalado para M-Noise.
