Monitor speakers_JBL monitor speakers

The monitor speaker is a professional audio equipment. Its characteristic is that it can restore the sound of the three frequency bands of high, middle and low in a balanced way, without any modification or rendering of the sound playback, and faithfully restore the audio signal. This kind of speaker is not very optimistic in our civilian field. On the one hand, most of us like to listen to the more pleasing sound after the speaker is exaggerated and modified. On the other hand, this speaker is too expensive. The first aspect is actually a misunderstanding of the monitor speakers. If the music producer has handled the sounds happily, the monitor speakers can also hear the modified effects. Obviously, the monitor speakers are as faithful as possible to restore the music producer's ideas, what you hear is what he wants you to hear. Therefore, the general public likes to buy a guy who looks more pleasing to the ear at the same price, but this has actually destroyed the original intention of the creator. Therefore, people who have a certain understanding of speakers, prefer to monitor speakers.

The early monitor speakers were based on the era of large-field far-field monitoring and coexistence with near-field comparative monitoring. The main speakers are mainly JBL4425, JBL 4412, Tianlang DMT-215, SYSTEM 1200, etc., near-field monitoring The representative of course is YAMAHA's NS-10 STUDIO. This white pot of small speakers has made many people's dreams. In these speakers, the low-frequency unit is in the form of an ordinary cone, while the tweeter has a horn type represented by JBL4425 and a dome type represented by NS-10. From another perspective, high and low The representative of the existence of the unit coaxial is the Tianlang coaxial speaker (I think he is also an example of the treble horn type).

JBL's MSC-1 monitor controller

Among these speakers, the one I have not personally used is the DMT-215 of Tianlang, and the others have been used for some time or even used. Therefore, I have to mention this form of tweeter with treble horn. Everyone knows that JBL 4425 is a good box. The sound is open. There is a momentum full of straightforwardness and huge energy. The sound is dynamic and energetic. It is not delicate and has a very deep charm. The sound is very simple. , Straightforward, is an obvious American style, while JBL horn has a beautiful sense of air and overtones. The TANNOY DMT215, the flagship of the Tianlang monitor, spotless sound and extremely high degree of reduction, coupled with a sturdy cabinet makes it more used in the world's first-line recording studios. This monitor is used in the post-production of the movie "Titany" Speaker. The sound from these treble horns gives people an accurate and realistic air sound, and the sound field positioning is also very accurate. Therefore, I have always had a soft spot for treble horns and coaxial monitoring. This is also my Reasons for using SYSTEM 1200 for more than 10 years.

When the brand monitors such as GENELEC 1031A and DYNAUDIO BM6A came to China, it seems that JBL's old-style monitor disappeared. I have used JBL 4412 for a while. Due to his titanium treble, I have always felt that the metal texture is too strong and lacks neutral monitoring. Later in a project design I used JBL-LSR4326P for a while, with JBL monitoring with DSP, so I made a comparison: 1030A, BM6A, LSR4326P.

Tell me about my feeling: Zenith treble is a metal film dome treble, the treble is upturned, the metal texture is good, and the sound image is a little behind. When the fine-tuned treble behind it is attenuated by 2 dB, I use BM-6A and 1030A , Basically feel the same. (I am using a pair of 1030A now, the treble is attenuated by 2dB). Dana's treble is a silk dome tweeter, with good resolution and overall neutrality. Of course, its large voice coil design of the bass also ensures the accuracy of the mid and low frequencies. It can be said that it is better to hear. JBL's LSR4300P series tweeter is also a silk dome tweeter. It has good resolution and air feeling. It is accurately positioned. It feels between BM-6A and 1030A. It can be said that it is very audible and maintains a neutral sound. in principle.

After I started using EQUATOR Q12 last year, I listened carefully to Q12, active monitor, coaxial horn, super bass voice coil, DSP processing after repeated trial listening, listening to my previous downmix, mastering, and other CDs, -I realized at this time that accurate monitoring was coming, and it also brought a real sense of air and overtones, but with it his high price.

So, is there any real listening experience, and at the same time a better cost-effective monitor speaker, this is the important reason why the arrival of JBL's MSC-1 monitor controller and JBL's LSR2328P make me feel bright.

Let's talk about LSR2328P first. The tweeter uses a 1-inch silk dome, the bass is an 8-inch conical speaker, a wooden cabinet and a specially designed panel. It has the atmosphere of the times. The input interface and control are also designed to be suitable for multiple occasions. So in terms of sound quality, let's compare it. The reference speakers are my own: GENELEC-1031A, DYNAUDIO-BM6A, EQUATOR-Q12. Of course, I am familiar with the sound of these speakers. The sound source used in this test is the CD-A700 of TASCAM. And PROTOOLS8 + 192IO. The CDs to be audited include "Vienna New Year's Concert" by the well-known foreign DG company and orchestral works of DECCA company, etc. Dolma's "Golden Call" and some fever CDs, and of course some master tapes for my own mixing.

New understanding of repeated listening:

The LSR2328P and Q12 have very similar sound trends: neutral, audible, real sound field, and accurate positioning. Although the size of the woofer is different, the low frequency of the LSR2328P is still relatively strong. Overall, the LSR2328P is between GENELEC 1031A and DYNAUDIO BM6A. There is no 1031A treble upturning, and it is slightly more textured than the BM6A treble, getting rid of the shadow of the original JBL monitoring titanium treble, and moving towards a more realistic sound restoration series . At the same time, the sound direction of LSR2300P is consistent with that of LSR4300P series.

In this comparison, I first used JBL's MSC-1 monitor controller to test and correct the sound field of the control room (as shown below), and eliminated the interference. MSC-1 is actually separate from the original DSP sound field. In the calibration, the integrated monitoring controller integrated with the control circuit is added, but for general studios, this is a very practical controller, which is why I will put it separately here. . MSC-1 has three inputs, two monitor outputs, and one headphone output. It can be said to be a classic control unit. It is connected to a computer through a USB interface. After installing the random sound field correction software, you can perform room acoustic parameter correction. The time is that the sound absorption of the bass area of ​​the room is not good or no sound absorption. Therefore, the MSC-1 will automatically help us perform acoustic correction after testing. My studio is no exception. The 39HZ on the left and the 40HZ on the right have + 3dB peaks. There is, the signal is properly corrected after passing through the MSC-1, and the expected effect is achieved. The corrected sound is really strong and real bass.

If you have any monitoring system, JBL's MSC-1 is your good monitoring partner.
