Each 3 Series model incorporates a range of features to integrate the loudspeakers into a broad range of environments including multiple inputs, a detented volume control and an input sensitivity switch for compatibility with professional and consumer equipment.
Using 3 Series low and high-frequency “TRIM” switches, the user can tailor the loudspeaker’s response to compensate for room acoustics, program material and personal tastes.
To ensure years of reliable performance, 3 Series prototypes were subjected to JBL’s 100-hour power test, in which the loudspeaker is required to play continually at full output for 100 hours without failure.
JBL’s LSR Linear Spatial Reference design criteria requires 72 measurements, yielding more than 1,200 times more data, enabling the company to engineer a loudspeaker that “sounds right” in any working space. With the LSR design, the 3 Series studio monitors deliver accuracy regardless of the size and shape of the rom, so mixes “hit their mark” when heard on any playback system.
3 Series models are packaged in 5-color cartons that explain the technology and feature set in detail. The loudspeakers will ship to stores this month at list prices of $199.99 and $325 (both prices U.S.) for the LSR305 and LSR308, respectively. Further information is available here.
Bryan Bradley, GM, Harman Professional Loudspeaker Group: “The simultaneous launch of 3 Series studio monitors and our new PRX700 portable powered loudspeakers is an expression of our commitment and passion for the audio industry and our ongoing investment in innovation. It gives us great pleasure to present our customers with these new JBL lines developed to take their projects to the highest possible level.”
