Get Smart: JBL Shows Off Brainy LSR4300 Powered Monitors

JBL's Peter Chaikin talks at length about the company's new LSR4300 Series of studio monitors. Not only are these things powered, they're smart--equipped with internal signal processors that are designed to correct for the bogus low-end response that plagues most of today's "control rooms" (otherwise known as bedrooms, dens, garages, etc.). They're even networked together via LAN cables, so they can communicate with each other and with the system's Control Center software for Mac and PC. (What do they talk about when you leave the room, I wonder?)

Great system, but currently missing one very improtant feature. When will we be able to distribute audio to the speakers via the network LAN? I should only have to run Cat5 and power to each cabinet. Holding off on a purchase until this happens.

Peter, I bought 2 JBL 4412 Studio monitors and 2 Control 1's in 1990. I would like to know if there is anyone you know that can supply the foam surrounds for me. It's the only thing wrong with them. They have been in storage for a few years now and I miss them. Thank you!
