About this deal

JBL is bringing forth the concept of a compact, active speaker system for use in gaming, edit bays and other prosumer needs with a tiny footprint and maximum power and translatability. You can conveniently adjust your levels using the volume control on the front panel without moving too far from the sweet spot. I’ve either seriously overpaid for my reference speakers, or these JBLs are the bargains of the year.

A superb-value monitor set that won’t clutter the desktop, these reference-quality speakers will highlight why it was worth spending the money on a decent recording microphone, pulling out the detail that will elevate your content. They are small and light enough to pack up and take on the road with a laptop, for times when you want to listen on speakers instead of headphones. I can see a wide range of uses for the Series 104 monitors, and as they are so affordable, they should be very appealing to the educational market. auxiliary connection, which provide hassle-free connection of domestic playback devices and consumer electronic devices, will also be a major benefit. Be sure not to overdo the bass to compensate for little speakers' inability to create low frequency energy.For my intended purpose and use, they certainly did the job, and readily revealed any hum from a junky cable or telltale buzz from mis-tracking on a video playback. This will start your application with Klarna Retail Finance or V12 Retail Finance, our finance partners, and completing this form should take approximately 10 minutes.

It is apparent that JBL have put some real design effort into managing some of the issues - the bass driver has a specialised surround design that is clearly intended to ameliorate some of the nasties. Add to this a moulded ABS cabinet, and you have a stunning speaker set that won't get in the way of your workspace. Creative professionals, music lovers and anyone who wants the flexibility to stream both wired and wireless sound into high-quality studio monitors can count on JBL 104-BT to provide an accurate, reliable sonic reference and a truly enjoyable listening experience.

Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged 18+, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. My final analysis is: if you need a trustworthy speaker system which must have a small footprint, you’re just not going to do better than the 104s. They're designed for applications like better-than-average computer speakers, podcast production, home video production, etc. Anyone wishing to use the JBL 104-BT for commercial applications, however, will benefit from the symmetrical TRS sockets, which allow an interference-free connection to professional equipment such as audio interfaces.

The JBL 104-BT Reference Monitors’ integrated 60-watt Class D power amplifier distributes a potent 30 watts per speaker. Sounds is crystal clear and more then enough bass and overall volume for pairing with a Mac and Logic Pro X for mixing and music creation.

So, when the Tape Op guys offered a review pair of JBL's new desktop-optimized powered monitors, I jumped at the opportunity. Everything is tested by our dedicated team of in-house reviewers in our custom-built test rooms in London, Reading and Bath.
