Anyone using the JBL LSR2328P?

Is anyone here using the JBL LSR2328P for mastering?

My mastering to date has been using what's available on the MasterLink, but now am stepping up. Since my recordings are primarily school groups, I've just used headphones. The sources don't justify multimillion dollar monitors and the review in Mix was quite laudatory.

What are your thoughts pro and con. Thanks.

Hi John,

For a dutch music and producers magazine we did a big test with loads of studio monitors which are available in Holland (in total we had about 30 sets of monitors). Also these JBL speakers where in the test.

From a mastering perspective they lack a bit of resolution, natural sound balance and low end performance. Ofcourse thats why most of times mastering-engineers are using big (Hifi) floorstanders in a far field listening setup. It's not an option if tight on budget but for high quality mastering i think you really need this kind of setup (and don't forget about acoustics, converters etc.). It all depends on how serious are you willing to do this..

From a mixing perspective i have to say that i really like the JBL's. I had some bad experience with JBL speakers but this speaker made a change. Take a listen to other monitors in the same price range (Adam, Dynaudio, Focal for example) and choose the one which sounds the best to your ears.

Good luck!

Thanks, PD, for the comments. Obviously, being at the low end, price wise, I don't expect high end performance. I do have Klipsch's big Chorus II's which I use to listen to the final product before it goes out the door. Most people are listening to these CDs on ear buds, 5" table top boxes, etc., so spending a lot of money on refined speakers doesn't make a lot of sense.

Anyone using them for day to day work?

I have the smaller 2325's. Pretty good overall. Bass response is great. Background vocals great also. Instruments sit well. The lead vocal seems a bit low in the mix on playback CD (but that could be a room issue). I combat that by mixing the lead vocals on my Sony 7506's.

These were a step up for me, as I had been using some old Event 5's.
