JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor – Ultra Precision
The JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor is a professional, two-way speaker system designed to provide an exceptionally accurate monitoring experience in any studio environment. It uses a new generation of JBL high-output, ultra-low distortion transducers to deliver a wide in-room frequency response of 20 Hz to 40 kHz. With an extraordinary 123 dB maximum SPL, this system meets the demanding requirements of music, cinema, and broadcast production.
JBL M2 Master monitor is built for both precision and performance. The patented LSR (Linear Spatial Reference) design ensures a smooth and accurate sound, no matter where you are in the room. The system has exceptional low-frequency extension and a patented low-frequency port design that provides powerful bass performance without a large footprint. This monitor system also delivers impressive imaging and a wide soundstage for an incredibly detailed and immersive listening experience.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What is a master reference monitor used for?
A master reference monitor is a high-end speaker used in professional studios for mixing and mastering audio. Its purpose is to provide the most accurate and uncolored sound possible so that audio engineers can hear every detail and make critical mixing decisions.
2. What is the benefit of the LSR (Linear Spatial Reference) design?
The LSR design ensures that the speaker has a smooth and uniform sound no matter where you are in the room. This gives you a more reliable listening experience and helps you make better decisions when mixing audio.
3. Why is the wide frequency response from 20 Hz to 40 kHz important?
A wide frequency response from 20 Hz to 40 kHz means the speaker can reproduce the full range of human hearing and beyond. This allows you to hear the lowest bass notes and the highest harmonic details with great accuracy.
4. What does the 123 dB max SPL mean for me?
The 123 dB max SPL means this monitor can get extremely loud while maintaining very low distortion. This is important for professional production, as it allows engineers to monitor at high volumes to check for dynamic range issues without the sound breaking up.
5. What kind of amplifier do I need to use with this system?
Since this is a high-end passive monitor, you would need a professional-grade power amplifier that can deliver enough power to drive the speakers to their full potential while maintaining low distortion.
