TRUST THE TRANSPARENCY
With JBL 104 Reference Monitors, you’ll hear true clarity and
detail, without coloration. The 104s deliver crisp highs and rich
bass just as they were intended, at any volume level; they’re
optimized for desktop placement, to deliver accuracy even
in crowded workspaces. And their smooth off-axis response
means you can monitor with confidence in a wide sweet spot.
PRO PERFORMANCE, SCALED TO SIZE
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: our innovative new coaxial driver
design features a high frequency driver aligned with a woofer
cone precisely contoured to deliver accurate response,
exceptional detail and impressive off-axis performance, for the
most neutral, accurate presentation, desktop to desktop, room
to room. Its low-frequency port works with the driver to provide
accurate bass at all listening levels.
POWER AND PUNCH
The JBL 104's integrated 60-watt Class D power amplifier
distributes a potent 30 watts per speaker.
STREAMLINE YOUR SESSIONS
The JBL 104 Reference Monitor integrates smoothly into any
production workspace, thanks to smart features like a front-
panel volume control that allows convenient level adjustments
without straying from the sweet spot, and a front-panel
headphone jack that automatically mutes the speakers, giving
you isolation in one simple step. And, the 1 Series 104’s
dual 1/4-inch balanced, dual RCA and single 1/8-inch inputs
accommodate a wide range of sources.
