The JBL LSR6328P is a robust (39 lbs.), biamplified, 2-way studio monitor speaker, housed in a sturdy, handsome cabinet with a dark graphite finish and a carefully damped and baffled interior. The 8", dual voice coil woofer and Waveguide-controlled 1" Titanium tweeter are powered by 250 and 120 Watt amplifiers, respectively.
JBL is one of our planet's premier speaker manufacturers, and the quality of this speaker's construction, along with the carefully calibrated, integrated amplification, ought to be reason enough to deserve a listen. But not for JBL. The LSR6328P features a uniquely ambitious rear panel set of tune and tone controls, that borders on the fanatical in sheer statistical density.
We are now recording and mixing in some strange and wonderful places, and these places may foster and nurture the creative spirit, but for critical listening these places often need sound treatment, and it doesn't get done. And that is why JBL stocked the LSR6328P with knobs and switches - to help us get good mixes in poor acoustic environments.
Now, all of this compensation for room modes, nodes, and standing waves, in bright, boomy, dull, fluttery, boxy, cavernous rooms, and all the other environmental acoustic aberrations that can make mixing a sad experience, does not come cheaply. But, the LSR6328P is designed very much for an age where a lot of music is recorded outside of the "proper" recording studio, and this speaker provides a certain reassurance that no matter where, and how strange, the space you're working in really is, you can fix it in the mix.
