About the JBL LSR708i 8" Master Reference Monitor
The JBL LSR708i is an advanced 8-inch two-way studio reference monitor, representing the pinnacle of the Master Reference Monitor series, engineered for the most critical listening and audio production tasks in professional control rooms, post-production suites, and broadcast facilities. It incorporates JBL's groundbreaking Differential Drive dual voice coil woofer technology, paired with a high-definition 1-inch imaging waveguide, to deliver exceptional accuracy, dynamic range, and ultra-low distortion. This monitor is specifically designed to reveal the finest details in a mix, providing an unparalleled translation of audio work across all playback systems. Its sophisticated design includes integrated boundary compensation and seamless compatibility with JBL’s Intonato 24 automated room calibration system, allowing it to be perfectly tuned to the unique acoustics of any listening environment.
A core innovation in the LSR708i is its integration of advanced DSP and room correction capabilities directly within the monitor. When used with the Intonato 24 system and a calibration microphone, it can automatically measure and correct for room modes, speaker placement issues, and boundary reflections, applying precise EQ, level, and time alignment adjustments. This results in a perfectly neutral listening experience, free from the colorations imposed by the room itself. The monitor's rear panel hosts extensive control options, including boundary EQ switches, input sensitivity adjustment, and both analog XLR and digital AES3 inputs, facilitating integration into the most complex professional audio infrastructures.
Constructed with an acoustically inert enclosure to eliminate unwanted resonance, the LSR708i operates as a bi-amplified system with dedicated, optimized amplification for each driver. Its performance is characterized by an extended frequency response, immense headroom, and a vast, stable sweet spot enabled by the precise imaging waveguide. By uniting state-of-the-art transducer technology, intelligent room-aware DSP, and robust professional build quality, the JBL LSR708i establishes a new benchmark for accurate monitoring, providing mastering engineers, mixers, and content creators with the absolute sonic truth needed for definitive audio decision-making.
