There’s little else in the way of controls (a good thing perhaps) with no EQ shelving around the back and just a headphone socket and volume rotary around the front of the Master speaker. With their sleek, elegant design and compact form factor, they’ll make a stunning statement in any home or pro studio while conserving valuable work space. An ideal choice for budding bedroom studio producers, the 104-BT set enables users to get a rivetting audio projection and sound without breaking the bank. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.

Now, that said, because there is no horn enclosure and since this speaker is not a tweeter, but really a hyped-up mid-range speaker, high frequencies fall off pretty hard and fast when you’re off-axis. Setup couldn’t be easier: plug the master speaker into a nearby mains socket, connect the various inputs to your devices, then run the supplied speaker cable over to the slave speaker.The JBL 104-BT Reference Monitors' integrated 60-watt Class D power amplifier distributes a potent 30 watts per speaker. You can connect them to a laptop or PC sound card – or indeed any device with an analogue audio output of some kind – and the newly added Bluetooth connectivity lets you stream audio from any mobile device you have to hand. I am happy to give wholehearted recommendation to these excellent compact JBL speakers and I liked them so much that I actually decided to purchase a pair for myself.

A pair of 1/4" balanced, dual RCA and single 1/8" inputs offer compatibility with a multitude of different signal sources. Both the black 104-BT and white 104-BTW versions are sleek, elegant designs and compact form factors, making stunning statements in any studio while conserving valuable work space. The front panel contains a detented volume control, a mini headphone jack (which mutes the speakers when headphones are plugged in), and a mini TRS auxiliary input jack. At the same time, the upper register is similarly impressive with a high-frequency range of up to 20kHz. Each monitor delivers a full range of sound frequencies with correct phase alignment thanks to the combined 4.With drivers this size, it's impossible to sound like full-sized speakers or even studio-grade nearfield monitors. The only flimsy thing about them are the cables that connect the speaker which has the amplifier for both speakers inside (which is much heavier than the other) and the “unamplified” speaker. I played various pieces of music from wildly different styles through the JBL 104s and I was immediately impressed by the clarity of the lower and upper ends of the frequency range from such compact monitors.
