JBL 104 BT Affordable Reference Monitors Speakers
In this week’s episode, we have a look at and listen to the JBL 104-BT Bluetooth Desktop Reference Monitors. The 104-BT’s are small, lightweight, and can be a great step up from consumer desktop speakers; they also host a variety of different connections including TRS, RCA, and Bluetooth. In this video we talk through the 104-BTs’ feature set and discuss when and where these might be most useful in an audio editing and mixing workflow. Let’s have a closer listen!
