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!

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders.
