KEY MESSAGES 6

TRUST THE TRANSPARENCY

Great mixes start with honest mix references. With JBL 104­BT(W), you’ll hear the content you’ve created in true clarity
and detail, with none of the coloration that can compromise
your mix decisions. 104-BT(W)s are optimized for desktop
placement, and their smooth off-axis response means you can
reference your mixes confidently across a wide sweet spot.

PRO PERFORMANCE, SCALED TO SIZE

The world’s top recording studios and touring artists rely
on JBL Professional monitors to deliver unparalleled fidelity
and performance. With our 1 Series, we’ve optimized that
technology in our smallest form factor ever. The 104-BT(W)
Reference Monitor’s innovative coaxial driver design features
a high-frequency driver aligned with a woofer cone precisely
contoured to deliver accurate response, exceptional detail and
impressive off-axis performance. The result: neutral, accurate
sound, anywhere. The cabinet’s precisely contoured low­frequency port works with the driver to deliver powerful, tight
bass at any volume level.

THE BLUETOOTH ADVANTAGE

The 104-BT(W) offers the convenience of Bluetooth streaming,
which gives audio engineers the ability to check their mixes
over Bluetooth to ensure they translate well to common
listening scenarios.

STREAMLINE YOUR SESSIONS

JBL 104-BT(W) Reference Monitors integrate smoothly into
any production workspace, thanks to smart features like a
front-panel input control that selects Bluetooth, Aux, RCA,
TRS or combines all inputs—quickly check references or
switch easily between tasks like playing back your tracks and
staying attentive to phone notifications. Or, select all inputs
for a simplified experience. Front-panel volume control allows
convenient level adjustments without straying from the sweet
spot, and a front-panel headphone jack automatically mutes
the speakers, giving you isolation in one simple step. And, JBL
104-BT(W) Reference Monitors’ dual 1/4-inch balanced, dual
RCA and single 1/8-inch inputs accommodate a wide range of
signal sources.
