JBL Introduces LSR25P Monitoring System
 September 28, 1999
Building upon the JBL LSR Series studio monitors, JBL Professional
today introduced the LSR25P monitoring system expressly designed to provide multimedia
and digital audio workstation users with the same high performance monitoring
in smaller environments as the JBL LSR32 and LSR28P provide for larger production
environments.
Featuring
many of the technologies that have made the JBL LSR Series so successful, including
an advanced metal-domed HF driver and JBL's low frequency transducer technologies,
the JBL LSR25P establishes an entirely new standard for multimedia, audio-for-video
and edit room monitoring. The new JBL LSR25P assures facility-wide implementation
of JBL LSR technology, standardizing playback environments throughout larger multi-room
facilities regardless of room size. This allows for the accurate translation of
a mix from the original dub stage through each phase of productionand post production.
The JBL LSR25P offers virtually distortion-free operation even at the highest
operating levels while offering full-frequency performance from 60 Hz to 20 kHz
+/- 2 dB with a low frequency extension of 55kHz at -10 dB and a 2.3 kHz 4th order
electroacoustic Linkwitz-Riley low-high frequency crossover. LSR25Ps retail at
under $400.00 each.
"Up to this point, desktop post production, edit rooms and other multimedia
users have had to work with audio monitoring systems designed for other applications
rather than a system tailored to their needs," explains Michael MacDonald,
President, JBL Professional. "Now, the LSR25P for the first time offers professionals
working in smaller rooms an integrated monitoring system that delivers the same
dynamic performance that the JBL LSR32 and the LSR28P deliver in larger studio
environments.
"The LSR25P benefits engineers in larger facilities because now there
is a standardized playback environment throughout the facility. It benefits owners
because the LSR Series creates an affordable scalable amplitude monitoring system
that delivers the same high performance in each of the facility's different environments.
This benefits the project recordist because now LSR-quality monitoring is available
at a price point they can afford," MacDonald continued.
Scalable amplitude monitoring, as defined by JBL Professional, is based on
volume/distance ratio and is the ability of a standardized monitoring system to
provide a monitor with the appropriate SPL level for different sized listening
environments. The monitors of JBL Professional's LSR Series deliver the same basic
amplitude performance when each is used in the appropriate environment. The end
goal being that the mix will sound the same in each of the different environments.
