Product guides and documents
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.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
On the back of the monitor, there is a gain (volume) knob that is usually set to max. Also, there is a sensitivity selector either (+4 dB) for higher signal levels from your mixer / interface or whatever and -10dB for lower signal levels. That will give you a lot more gain at that setting. Most setups will have the switch at the +4dB setting as mine are.
Also for the tweeter, there is a switch that reduces the output -2dB, the middle is flat, and the right setting is +2dB which will give a slight rise in the treble. I have mine set for +2 since my middle aged ears can't hear treble like they did in my early 20's.
On the back for signal connections are TRS and XLR inputs, along with the input volume / gain, and power.
My speakers are connected to an external interface, a Focusrite 4i4.
Along with the speakers, I ordered a pair of TRS cables. If you have an interface and these speakers, use TRS cables!
My speakers arrived earlier than expected so they outpaced the pair of TRS cables I also ordered for use with these speakers. I had some TS cables so I used those first. I heard noise from the computer when I moved the mouse and whatnot so that should tell you something. ALWAYS use balanced cables, whether they are XLR or TRS, when using these or any other monitors next to a computer.
Next day the TRS cables came in and I switched the cables over to the TRS ones. And the noise went away.
My only complaint is the power cords are very short. So a trip to WalMart for an extension cable with 3 plug-ins was in order.
Aside from the short power cords, I'm thoroughly pleased with these speakers.

So again great option for people who are pros, if your a newb like me who went down a rabbit hole of wanting great sound from your computer these are still great but know you will need to buy a few extra items you may not be aware of. I wish this was a little more clear in the description or as a top question. Maybe I did something wrong but a simple audio jack to XLR converter cable did not work. Hope this helps.
I enjoy them.
I go direct from my computer into a THX 100 DAC, then to a 15 band equalizer and into these speakers. My my. I can have music in all day and not be bothered because the sound is so clean.
I set the volume on the speaker midrange and control the volume on my computer. A bit awkward so I spent a few minutes tweaking it. And I don’t have to mess with speaker volume anymore.
I’d by these again in a heartbeat.

It sounds great
Reviewed in Spain on August 25, 2020
Anyhow, plugged it in to get a general idea of sound quality and was very pleased with clarity and being able to hear parts of tunes that were lost in the mix when using other audio gear.
Purchased the second speaker and am very happy. Not one to splurge out, but these speakers are great for mixing and all other uses.
