Introduction - Manual Conventions

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of JBL LSR4300 Series Studio Monitors, the most advanced

loudspeaker system ever developed for critical listening.

We know that very few people read owner’s manuals from cover to cover, so we’ve organized

this one to make it easy to ﬁnd the information you need.

The Features section on the next page provides a brief overview of the exceptional features of

the LSR4300 Series. It’s followed by a QuickStart section, which will get you up and

running in a matter of minutes.

Once you’ve got your LSR4300 system powered up and delivering sound, you should turn to

the Reference section, which describes every feature and function of the LSR4300 in detail.

Finally, we’ve included a number of technical appendices and speciﬁcations at the end of this

manual.

Note that this manual covers the model LSR4328P and LSR4326P Studio Monitors. Separate

owner’s manuals are provided for the model LSR4312SP Subwoofer and for the LSR4300

Control Center software.

Manual Conventions

The following conventions will be used in this owner’s manual:

 Especially important tips and cautions will be presented like this.

Features

The LSR4300 Series combines stunning sound and legendary JBL design with innovative new

technologies. The end result is a product that is nothing short of revolutionary – a monitoring

system suitable for use in the most demanding music, broadcast, and postproduction

applications.

RMC™ Room Mode Correction

The biggest challenge for anyone producing audio is creating a mix that sounds great on all

playback systems. If you think of a monitoring system as a kind of “lens” through which you

hear sound, the object is to have the lens be crystal-clear and transparent so that it imparts no

coloration whatsoever to the signal being played back. However, every loudspeaker system,

no matter how well designed, interacts with the room in which it is installed. Lack of correct

acoustic treatment (or, worse yet, lack of any treatment at all) can result in anomalies such as

resonant frequencies and low-frequency “standing waves” – the aural equivalent to the lens

being “smeared.” Trying to create a mix in such an environment can be as frustrating and

difﬁcult as trying to paint a masterpiece while blindfolded.

JBL’s exclusive second generation RMC™ Room Mode Correction technology is designed to

solve the problem. A powerful onboard computer in each LSR4300 Series monitor

automatically analyzes the frequency response of your room and compensates for low

frequency inaccuracies in the listening space by precisely inserting ﬁlters so that low

frequency signals arrive at the mix position with the intended frequency response. In effect,

the LSR4300 Series goes “beyond accurate,” allowing you to eliminate the guess-work and

create reliable mixes that translate to any environment. Additionally, the RMC system trims

the level of each speaker to compensate for differences in placement relative to the mix

position, ensuring balanced mixes.

Introduction - Features

HiQnet™ Networking

The LSR4300 Series also incorporates the new Harman HiQnet™ protocol that networks all

the speakers in a system together and allows full control from the provided wireless remote

control or from any computer via a standard USB connection and LSR4300 Control Center

Software. With the push of a button or the click of a mouse you can change the system level,

choose from any of three different inputs (one analog and two digital), mute and solo

individual speakers, and make low and high frequency EQ adjustments.

LSR Linear Spatial Reference Design

The LSR4300 builds on the Linear Spatial Reference technology that has made our LSR6300

Series of studio monitors so popular in recording, broadcast, and postproduction facilities

worldwide. The exact geometry of the wave guide, the interaction of the woofer and tweeter,

and the ﬁnal assembly of the injection-molded parts has been redesigned from the ground up

to provide accurate off-axis as well as on-axis listening, within a window of +/-30 degrees

horizontal, +/- 15 degrees vertical. Attention to these critical aspects results in neutral mid and

high frequency response at the mix position and a sound which is smooth and accurate in a

wide variety of acoustic spaces.

Surround Smart

The LSR4300 Series is ideal for surround sound use. Up to eight main speakers – any

combination of LSR4326 6-inch and LSR4328 8-inch models – and up to two LSR4312SP

subwoofers can be easily conﬁgured for LCRS, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 SDDS and larger mixing and

monitoring applications.

Once all LSR4300 monitors are in place, RMC and HiQNet automatically aligns the entire

system, setting relative volume so that the sound from all channels is balanced when it arrives

at the mix position. The end result is precise imaging regardless of each monitor’s actual

physical placement.

In addition, the ability to centrally control the volume of all the speakers (via the supplied

wireless remote control or LSR4300 Control Center software) is particularly useful in

surround sound applications where the recording system does not provide a multi-channel

monitor volume control, or where adjustable volume is not available when using the

mixing system’s digital outputs. Similarly, the ability to selectively mute or solo channels and

to remotely switch between three digital and analog input sources enhances system capabilities

by allowing you to monitor not only the main recording system, but also any two additional

connected sources such as DVD and CD players, multi-channel processors and encode-decode

units. This alleviates the need to purchase additional outboard monitoring hardware.

Selectable Inputs

In this age of digital workstations and control surfaces, it isn’t enough to simply provide an

input jack. The LSR4300 offers three separate inputs: stereo high-resolution 96 kHz AES/

EBU and S/PDIF digital inputs, as well as dual balanced analog XLR and ¼-inch inputs with

selectable +4dBu / -10dBV sensitivity. This allows it to accommodate a wide range of input

sources, including digital workstations, CD players, DVD players, and multi-channel proces-

sors. What’s more, you can easily select between inputs with the push of a single button (on

either the front panel or the wireless remote) or click of a mouse (via an attached computer and

the included LSR4300 Control Center software).

Introduction - Features

Onboard Bi-ampliﬁcation

LSR4300 Series monitors are self-powered, eliminating the need for external ampliﬁers.

Perfectly matched bi-ampliﬁcation is provided onboard, with 150 watts of power for the

woofer and 70 watts for the high frequency transducer.

Other Features

•

Custom designed transducers specially engineered to deliver clean, crisp sound. The

LSR4328P model features an 8-inch low frequency woofer, while the LSR4326P

model offers a 6.25-inch woofer, both coupled with a 1-inch soft-dome high frequency

transducer. All transducers are self-shielded, with Neodymium motor structures for

exceptional transient response and superb power handling.

•

Advanced front-panel user interface allows control of system functions such as

volume, input selection, user EQ and EQ presets, RMC calibration and bypass,

individual speaker solo, and brightness level of the meter and buttons.

•

Front panel meters show continuous output levels in dBFS to serve as a visual

reference of the speaker’s contribution when measured at the mix position.

Integrated mounting points allow wall mounting of speakers when space limitations

prohibit the use of speaker stands.

Built-in side handles make positioning and transporting of speakers easier.

Quick Start

Each LSR4300 speaker includes:

•

One speaker

CAT5 networking cable

AC power cord

This owner’s manual

The LSR4326/PAK and the LSR4328P/PAK include:

•

Two speakers, each with the above items

LSR4300 Accessory Kit containing:

Calibration microphone and mic clip

Infrared wireless remote control

LSR4300 Control Center Software

16-foot USB Cable

Two network terminators

Two AAA Batteries

Here are simple step-by-step instructions to get you up and running quickly:

1. Unpack the speakers. To avoid damage to the speaker elements, open the top of the box,

keep the Styrofoam end cap on, and roll the box upside down. The box can then be slipped

off. (This also works in reverse for repacking the units.)

 Be sure to not grasp the monitors from the front. A stray hand or ﬁnger can cause

damage to the high frequency transducer that is located near the top of the cabinet on the

front bafﬂe.

2. Position each speaker in the room. (See page 30 in this manual for speaker

placement tips.)

Quick Start

LSR4300 Rear Panel

3. Connect each speaker to a suitable power source using the supplied AC power cable. (See

page 23 in this manual for more information.)

4. Connect the speakers together in any order using the supplied CAT5 cable. Plug one end

of the cable into either of the two HiQnet ports on one speaker and the other end into a

HiQnet port on another speaker until all speakers are connected. Connect the two supplied

ethernet terminators to the ﬁrst and last speakers in the chain. (See page 21 in this manual

for more information on networking your LSR4300 monitors.)

5. Set the Network ID DIP switch on the rear panel of each speaker so that it corresponds to

the channel for which the speaker is to be used. For example, place the DIP switch labeled

LEFT in the up (ON) position for the speaker reproducing the left channel, and place the

DIP switch labeled RIGHT in the up (ON) position for the speaker reproducing the right

channel. (See page 22 in this manual for more information.)

 Make sure that one, and only one, DIP switch is placed in the up (ON) position for each

speaker. One speaker in the system must have the LEFT DIP switch set to the ON position.

6. Make all required audio connections to the rear panel of your monitors. Both the

LSR4328P and LSR4326P models are both able to accommodate one analog and two

digital input signals. (See page 23 in this manual for more information on audio

connections.)

a. If you are connecting an analog signal (i.e. from the line level analog outputs of a

mixing console, workstation, CD player, or DVD player), use

appropriate cabling to make a connection between the device and either the rear

panel Analog XLR connector or ¼″ connector, then set the rear panel Input Sensi-

Quick Start

tivity switch to +4dBV (switch IN) or -10dBu (switch OUT) to match the nominal

level of the signal source. If you don’t know how to set the switch, consult the

documentation for the signal source. Most professional devices operate at +4dBV

while most consumer devices operate at -10dBu. (See page 24 in this manual for

a wiring diagram.)

 Do NOT make connections to both the XLR and ¼″ analog connectors; use one or the

other.

b. If you are connecting digital signals (i.e., from a digital console or workstation,

or from the digital outputs of a CD or DVD player or processor), use appropriate

cabling to make a connection between the device and the rear panel AES/EBU

(XLR) or S/PDIF (phono) input of the speaker designated to carry the LEFT

channel (i.e., the left speaker in a stereo setup). Then use appropriate cabling to

make a connection between the rear panel AES/EBU (XLR) or S/PDIF (phono)

output of the left speaker and the rear panel AES/EBU or S/PDIF input of the

speaker designated to carry the RIGHT channel (i.e., the right speaker in a stereo

setup). (See page 24 in this manual for a wiring diagram.)

 When using digital audio inputs, the rear panel DIP switch settings determine which

channel of the stereo AES/EBU or S/PDIF signal will be reproduced by each speaker.

LSR4300 Front Panel

7. Press the front panel INPUT button on any speaker so that it begins blinking. While it is

still blinking, press the + / - controls on any speaker to select the desired input. The front

panel LEDs and the rear panel ACTIVE INPUT display shows which of the three inputs

(Analog, S/PDIF, or AES/EBU) is currently selected. If a digital input is selected, the

rear panel ACTIVE INPUT display also shows which channel is being reproduced by that

speaker.

Quick Start

8. Power up your signal source, then press the front panel POWER button on any speaker.

All speakers in the system will power on (the JBL Logo will go from dimly to brightly lit.)

 To avoid “thumps” which can damage your speakers, always power up the signal source

FIRST and your LSR4300 monitors LAST.

9. Set the initial speaker volume by pressing the + / - controls on any speaker. All

speakers in the system will go to the designated volume. As the volume is increased,

additional LEDs light. We recommend beginning with a modest volume setting, so that

only the ﬁrst ten LEDs or so (up to the “-20”) mark are lit.

10. Play a signal source and adjust the ﬁnal speaker volume to a comfortable listening level by

pressing the + / - controls on any speaker.

11. If your LSR4300 system is brand new, the RMC button on the front panel of all speakers

will be lit, indicating that Room Mode Correction has not yet been performed. To

calibrate your speakers with RMC, begin by attaching the provided calibration

microphone to a mic stand and place the mic at the mix position, oriented vertically.

Then connect the microphone to the Left speaker’s RMC MIC rear panel input.

 To perform an RMC analysis, the calibration microphone must be connected to the

speaker designated as “Left” (LEFT DIP switch up).

12. Press and hold the RMC button on any speaker, then walk to a spot in the room where you

are not blocking the path between the microphone and any speaker. Each speaker will emit

a reference tone in turn and its meter will show a left-to-right “chase” pattern that

indicates the system is calibrating. When the “chase” pattern on the meters stops, the

process is complete. You can compare the effects of RMC with the uncorrected response

by pressing the RMC button on the front panel of any speaker. When the button is lit,

RMC correction is being bypassed and you hear the uncorrected response; when the RMC

button is unlit, the RMC is active and compensating for any acoustic deﬁciencies in your

listening environment. (See page 25 in this manual for a step-by-step description of the

RMC calibration procedure.)

 The RMC procedure produces a fairly loud swept sine wave calibration tone that can

surprise you when you hear it for the ﬁrst time. After pressing the RMC button, move away

from the speaker. There is a ﬁve second delay prior to the sounding of the calibration tone.

13. Place the provided batteries in the wireless remote control, and, if you want to

establish computer control over your LSR4300 system, make a USB connection between

your computer and the LEFT speaker and then install the provided LSR4300 Control

Center Software.

14. Finally, put on some good music to listen to and take a few moments to read the rest of

this manual to acquaint yourself with all the features of your JBL LSR4300 system.

Enjoy!

2. Power – After connection to an AC power source, press this button to turn the

speaker on. If networked together with other speakers, all speakers will turn on

simultaneously. Press the button again to return the speaker to a low-power stand-by

mode, where the internal ampliﬁers are turned off and all user functions are

deactivated. As shown below, when the speaker is powered on and active, the JBL logo

will be brightly lit (see #1 above) and the left-most meter segment will be lit:

3. Meter Display – In combination with front panel buttons, the meter is used to display the

current setting and status of the following functions:

•

SOLO function (see #4 below)

Progress of RMC calibration process (see #5 below)

LF and HF EQ boost and attenuation (see #6, #7 and #8 below)

EQ preset selection (see #9 below)

Input source selection (see #10 below)

Overall system volume (see #11 below)

Meter and button brightness (see #11 below)

Error conditions

The meter has 31 three-color segments that can illuminate in green, amber or red. For many

of the above operations, all 31 segments light green only. However, when audio signal is

being reproduced by the speaker, all three colors are used and the meter is calibrated to

indicate the continuous output in decibels (dB) below the speaker’s full output capability.

Green LEDs indicate signal 8 dB (or more) below clipping; amber, approximately 7 to 4 dB

below clipping; and red, approximately 3 to 0 dB below clipping. The segment furthest to the

right (“0”) illuminates red when the input signal is has reached its maximum value (greater

than -1.5 dBFS) and causes clipping of the electronics.

 The LSR4300 models include protective limiting. Limiting occurs when the output signal

exceeds -2 dBFS or the second LED from the right is illuminated (in the LSR4328P) or

-5 dbFS or the ﬁfth LED from the right is illuminated (in the LSR4326P).

much SPL the speaker is contributing at the listening position. For more information, see

Appendix E on page 38 in this manual.

4. SOLO – Press this button to mute the signal on all other speakers. As shown below, when

this function is active, the SOLO button will ﬂash on the selected speaker.

At the same time, the SOLO buttons on all other networked speakers (those that are

muted) will light steadily, and their left-most meter segments will ﬂash to indicate a muted

state:

To end solo and unmute all other networked speakers, press the SOLO button for that

speaker again.

 All front panel button actions can be cancelled at any time simply by pressing the button

a second time.

5. RMC Room Mode Correction – This button is used both to initiate an RMC

calibration and to bypass it after it has been performed (in order to compare the results of

RMC with the uncorrected signal). To initiate RMC calibration, press this button and hold

it for three seconds or longer. (During calibration, the button ﬂashes.) For more infor-

mation about RMC and the RMC calibration procedure, see pages 24 through 28 in this

manual.

Reference - Speaker Placement

Speaker Placement

The design of the LSR4300 system lends itself to a wide variety of placement options.

Covered here is a typical stereo setup for near- to mid-ﬁeld monitoring, where the mix position

is generally 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) away from the speakers.

While the exact stereo listening angle is largely a matter of personal preference, we

recommend the monitors be arranged to form an equilateral triangle as shown in the

illustration below.

Recommended stereo speaker positioning

The center of the high-frequency transducer should be at the same height (on-axis) as the ear

level of the listener. Ideally, they should be placed on suitable speaker stands and well away

from boundaries such as walls, ceilings, and large pieces of furniture. The LSR4328P and

LSR4326P are equipped with mounting points, to allow wall and ceiling mounting using

industry-standard mounting hardware. See Appendix D on page 37 in this manual for details.

LSR4300 Series monitors are designed to be positioned vertically and not horizontally.

This orientation provides optimum dispersion over the widest listening angle and eliminates

the phase shift that can occur when the relative distances between the woofer, tweeter and

the listening position are altered. Horizontal placement directs high-frequency response

into the work surface causing destructive cancellation resulting in inaccuracies in the

frequency response.

Connections and DIP Switch Settings

AC Power Connections

The LSR4300 voltage is set at the factory for use with either 100V-125V (U.S.) or

200V-250V. The ground terminal of the IEC plug is required by wiring codes and regulations.

It must always be connected to the electrical installation safety ground. CAUTION: Do not

use three-pin-to-two-pin AC adapters to defeat the ground.

The LSR4300-Series units have carefully designed internal grounding and balanced inputs

and outputs to reduce the possibility of ground loops (hum). If hum occurs, see Appendix C

on page 34 in this manual for suggested audio signal wiring, system grounding hints and other

preventive measures.

Network Connections and DIP Switch Settings

The Harman HiQnet™ networking technology employed by the LSR4300 enables a number

of unique capabilities. When speakers are interconnected using HiQnet, you can make

changes to all speakers in the system simply by adjusting the controls of any one speaker. For

example, turning on the power to one speaker causes them all to power up; similarly, by

changing the volume of one speaker, an equal volume change is made in all speakers.

HiQnet networking also allows RMC calibration for all speakers to be accomplished with the

push of a single button, with the supplied calibration microphone connected to a single

speaker. It also makes it possible for all speakers in the system to be controlled using the

supplied wireless remote control and/or LSR4300 Control Center Software. Up to eight

LSR4328P or LSR4326P speakers can be interconnected in a single network. HiQnet enables

coordinated RMC calibration so sound arriving at the mix position from all speakers is

precisely balanced.

To network your LSR4300 system:

1. Interconnect all speakers using the supplied CAT5 cable. Plug one end of the cable into

either of the two HiQnet ports on one speaker and the other end into a HiQnet port on

another speaker until all speakers are connected. (Speakers can be connected in any order).

2. Place the two supplied Ethernet terminators on the ﬁrst and last speakers in the chain.

3. Finally, set each speaker’s rear panel DIP switches according to its position in the

system. For example, place the DIP switch labeled LEFT in the up (ON) position for the

speaker reproducing the left channel, and place the DIP switch labeled RIGHT in the up

(ON) position for the speaker reproducing the right channel. To set the DIP switch, gently

push the white plastic nub of using a small ﬂat blade screwdriver, a toothpick or other

narrow object. Only one DIP switch should be in the up (ON) position.

Reference - Audio Connections

Audio Connections

The LSR4328P and LSR4326P speakers are equipped to accommodate a range of analog and

digital signal input sources. You can connect two digital sources and one analog source to each

speaker and switch between them using front panel controls, or the wireless remote control

and/or LSR4300 Control Center software.

Analog Connections

Positive voltage to Pin 2 of the XLR connector or the tip of the ¼″ jack will produce a

forward motion in the speaker cone. See Appendix C in this manual for wiring diagrams.

Analog signal sources must be connected to either the rear panel XLR or ¼″ connector.

 Do not connect analog signal to both the XLR and ¼″ inputs; use one or the

other.

The LSR4300 provides switchable input sensitivity between +4 dBu and -10 dBV, as

determined by the two-position Input Sensitivity switch on the rear panel.

When the sensitivity is set for +4 dBu, an input signal equal to +4 dBu will produce a system

output level of 94 dB SPL at a distance of one meter. Likewise, a setting of –10 dBV will

cause an input level of –10 dBV to attain the output acoustic level of 94 dB SPL at a distance

of one meter. Use of the front panel Volume control (that is, pressing the +/- button when no

button is ﬂashing) allows further level matching.

Incoming analog signal is internally routed to the LSR4300’s high resolution 96kHz, 24-bit,

oversampling A/D converters.

Digital Connections

Connect digital sources in AES/EBU format to the rear panel XLR digital input connector and

those in S/PDIF format to the rear panel phono digital input connector. The following sample

rates are supported: 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz, with word lengths of up to 24

Bits.

AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital audio is transmitted as a two-channel pair on a single cable.

Each LSR4300 speaker can reproduce only one channel at a time: either the left “A” channel

or the right “B” channel. The channel reproduced is determined by the speaker’s DIP switch

settings, as per the chart below. For example, when the leftmost (“Left”) DIP switch is ON,

the speaker will reproduce Channel A of the incoming stereo digital data stream.

When the following DIP Switch is in the ON position:

The speaker will reproduce Channel:

RMC™ Room Mode Correction

When a loudspeaker is placed in any work space, it and the room behave as a system which,

for better or worse, acts as the reference point for creative decisions. When a room has

inadequate or incorrect acoustic treatment, “room modes” (sometimes called “standing

waves”) can result, producing low frequency resonances that give a misleading impression of

bass response and therefore make it difﬁcult to achieve a proper mix balance.

The LSR4300 utilizes a revolutionary technology called RMC™ (short for “Room Mode

Correction”) that is designed to correct the problem. RMC analyzes the frequency response of

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Reference - RMC™ Room Mode Correction/

Performing An RMC Calibration

the speakers at the mix position and automatically applies corrective ﬁlters to

dramatically minimize low frequency resonances. Because room modes create resonance

at speciﬁc frequencies with very narrow bandwidths (sometimes called “Q”), the on-board

analyzer has the intelligence to identify the speciﬁc frequency and Q and apply a corrective

parametric ﬁlter to only the component of the signal that excites the problem. The LSR4300

RMC system can place a parametric ﬁlter at 73 frequencies (1/24th octave centers) between

20 Hz and 160 Hz, with a variable Q from 1 (1-2/5 octave bandwidth) to 16 (1/11 octave

bandwidth), with 3 to 12 dB of attenuation.

When the calibration mic is connected and the RMC analysis is initiated with the press of a

single button, the LSR4300’s onboard computer emits a reference tone that is measured at the

mix position using the supplied calibration microphone. The computer measures the response

received via the microphone and compares it with the original tone being emitted. It

determines which if any conditions should be corrected, and then calculates and applies a

corrective ﬁlter. The entire process takes only a few seconds per speaker.

During the RMC calibration process, the computer trims speaker levels in ﬁne 0.25 dB

increments so that all speakers in the system produce equal SPL (sound pressure level) at the

mix position. This feature is particularly useful in surround sound applications where space

limitations often prevent optimum speaker placement. For example, if the center speaker is

closer to the mix position than the other main speakers, attenuation must be applied so your

mix balances are correct. Without this correction, your end product will sound unbalanced

on a properly calibrated playback system.

Performing An RMC Calibration

To get the beneﬁt of JBL’s revolutionary RMC technology, RMC calibration should be

performed The RMC calibration process is simple and easy, taking only a few moments to

complete. RMC settings remain in memory even after the speakers are powered down, so

typically the process only needs to be performed one time. RMC calibration should be

performed:

•

The ﬁrst time you use your LSR4300 monitors. (The front panel RMC button will be

lit to remind you of that).

•

When the LSR4300 monitors are relocated, repositioned, or moved into a different

listening space (either a different room altogether or a different area within the same

room).

•

After any kind of change to the room’s acoustic treatment (such as adding carpeting,

bass traps, or other kinds of diffusers).

When there is a signiﬁcant change to the room’s furnishings (such as adding a console

enclosure, a sofa, or other large piece of furniture).

 RMC settings created in a prior environment are not relevant to the new environment.

If you do not wish to recalibrate the LSR4300 system after repositioning or moving one or

more speakers, press the RMC switch to bypass the existing settings.

Reference - Performing An RMC Calibration

Following are step-by-step instructions for performing an RMC calibration:

1. Make sure all LSR4300 monitors are positioned as intended.

2. Using the mic clip, attach the provided calibration microphone to a mic stand and place

the mic at the mix position, oriented vertically, at ear level. Be sure that it is no closer

than 1.5 feet (.46 meters) from the nearest speaker.

Position the calibration microphone vertically

3. Connect the microphone to the Left speaker’s rear panel RMC MIC input.

 To perform RMC, the calibration microphone must be connected to the speaker

designated as “Left” (LEFT DIP switch up).

4. Press and hold the RMC button on any speaker for at least 3 seconds (until the RMC light

on the front panel of all speakers begins blinking), then walk to a spot in the room where

you are not blocking the path between the microphone and any speaker.

Reference - Performing An RMC Calibration

Do not block the signal coming from any speaker while performing RMC calibration.

5. Each speaker in the system will sequentially emit a reference tone and its meter will show

a left-to-right “chase” pattern that indicates the system is calibrating.

 The RMC procedure produces a fairly loud swept sine wave calibration tone that can

surprise you when you hear it for the ﬁrst time. After pressing the RMC button, move away

from the speaker. There is a ﬁve second delay prior to the sounding of the calibration tone.

6. When the “chase” pattern on the meters stops and the RMC button on all speakers stops

blinking, the process is complete. Disconnect the microphone and store it in its protective

bag and carton for future use.

Reference - Performing An RMC Calibration/Equalization

 The supplied calibration microphone must be connected to perform RMC. If the RMC

button is pressed and held for 3 seconds or longer and no mic is connected, the meter

display will ﬂash to indicate an error condition, and all RMC settings currently in memory will

be erased.

RMC error condition

To bypass the calibrated settings and compare the original, uncompensated performance with

the corrected performance, press the RMC button so that it lights up. This allows you to listen

to the speaker without the ﬁlter, delay, level trim and meter calibration applied during the

RMC process. To restore RMC functions, press the button again. The button will no longer be

illuminated.

Equalization

Equalization is provided to tailor response to preference, or acoustic conditions in the room.

The LSR4300 offers two bands of onboard digital equalization (high and low frequency),

with up to 2 dB of cut and boost in each band. The equalization is shelving type with centers

of 500 Hz for low frequency and 2 kHz for high-frequency. Using the supplied LSR4300

Control Center software, the corner frequency for each band is adjustable from 20 Hz to 1 kHz

(LF) and 1 kHz and 20 kHz (HF).

To turn equalization on, press the EQ button on any networked speaker so that it lights up.

The LF and/or HF buttons immediately to the right of the EQ button will also light up if the

current setting contains LF or HF boost or cut. (If the current EQ setting contains “ﬂat” LF or

HF equalization – that is, no boost or cut – the associated button will not light.)

To apply equalization, simply press the LF or HF button (it will begin blinking), followed by

the +/- buttons. The meter display LEDs will light (all in green) to show you the amount of

cut or boost. If only the two LEDs on either side of the center (-15) mark are lit, that is an

indication that the selected equalization band is ﬂat (i.e., no cut or boost). LEDs lit to the right

of center (that is, to the right of the –15 mark) indicate the amount of equalization boost, while

LEDs lit to the left of center (that is, to the left of the –15 mark) indicate the amount of

equalization cut. With every 0.25 dB of equalization boost or cut, an additional two LEDs

light. Thus, for example, an equalization boost of 1 dB is indicated by eight LEDs lit to the

right of the center (-15) mark.

Reference - Equalization

The LSR4328P and LSR4326P provide six factory EQ presets. (A complete listing of all

parameters for the factory presets is presented in Appendix A). To recall a preset, press the

front panel PRESET button on any networked speaker (it will begin blinking), then use the

+ or – buttons to select the desired preset. Preset 1 is indicated by the left-most block of ﬁve

LEDs lighting green, and each successive block of ﬁve LEDs indicates the next preset. Thus,

for example, if you see the right-most block of ﬁve LEDs lit, that is an indication that you are

calling up Preset 6. If no preset is selected while the PRESET button is ﬂashing (for about 3

seconds) the system will return to its current settings. See page 31 in this manual for

illustrations showing the LED display for each preset.

Preset 0 is a special case. Indicated by the lighting of a single LED on either side of the center

(-15) mark, this is the user memory area, which always contains a copy of the last recalled

preset. Changes made to preset 0 remain in memory even after the LSR4300 is powered

down; however, they are lost when one of the six factory presets is recalled. If this preset is

selected prior to the time-out of the preset function, no change is made to the current settings.

LSR4300 Control Center software allows the creation and storage of custom user

equalization curves, which can then be loaded into memory, overwriting any of the factory

presets. For more information, see the LSR4300 Control Center owner’s manual.

Additionally, the Control Center Software allows you to select the frequency of EQ boost

or attenuation.

Whenever a preset is selected, the LF and HF buttons will illuminate to indicate whether the

currently selected preset contains LF and/or HF boost or cut (the button corresponding to the

most recently changed band will ﬂash). The preset becomes active when the PRESET button

stops ﬂashing (after 3 seconds). If no preset is selected, the system will return to its current

settings. If preset “0” is selected before the 3 second time-out of the function, no change is

made to the EQ settings.

Equalization presets can be stored in memory or to disk with the use of the supplied LSR4300

Control Center software. Changes made to a preset are held in memory even when the

LSR4300 is powered down; however, without the use of the software, any changes made will

be lost when another preset is called up.

 A preset can be deactivated by pressing the EQ ON button until the light goes out, or by

manually setting both the LF and HF values to 0 dB.

Appendix C: Wiring Requirements

Analog Connections

For optimum performance, some attention to wiring details now can reduce system

degradation later. The cabling recommendations given below follow standard wiring practice

for differential inputs.

Balanced Sources

The best way to run your system is balanced, where both “HOT” (+) and “COLD” (-) signals

are supplied from the source along with a GROUND/SHIELD. These are typically carried on

2 conductor shielded cables with XLR connectors on both ends.

Alternatively, connectors with Tip, Ring and Sleeve (T/R/S) jacks can be used. Whenever

possible, the cable shield should not be connected to any signal pin, but left to perform a cable

shielding function only. Note:

 Under no circumstances should the safety ground wire be removed from the AC power

connector.

When using balanced sources with the LSR4328P or LSR4326P, either the XLR or T/R/S

input connector can be used, since the circuit is common to both. However, both inputs

should not be used simultaneously.

For balanced signals, the HOT (+) signal from your source should be connected to the tip of

the T/R/S connector or Pin 2 of the XLR input as shown in Diagram A. The “COLD” (-)

signal should be connected to Pin 3 of the XLR or the “Ring” of the T/R/S connector. To

avoid ground loops, connect the SHIELD at the source end but not at the LSR input.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Appendix C: Wiring Requirements

Unbalanced Sources

When using unbalanced sources, there are more possibilities to introduce ground loops into a

system. The LSR4328P and LSR4326P offer several ways to help alleviate potential problems

with unbalanced equipment.

While there are only HOT and GROUND/SHIELD connections from unbalanced sources, it is

recommended that high quality twisted pair cable be used. Diagram B shows an unbalanced

source connected to the balanced XLR input of the LSR monitor using twisted pair cable.

Note that the shield is connected to the GROUND/SHIELD connector at the LSR input, but

not at the source. This reduces the likelihood of introducing a ground loop into the system.

When using unbalanced signals with an LSR4328P or LSR4326P, we recommend using 1/4″

Tip/Ring/Sleeve connections. As shown in Diagram C, when using the 1/4″ Tip/Ring/Sleeve

or XLR connection, the GROUND should be tied to the source -- not the sleeve -- of the LSR

input for optimum performance.

Appendix C: Wiring Requirements

Diagram D details the connections using single conductor shielded cable with a Tip/Ring/

Sleeve or XLR plug for the LSR4328P / LSR4326P input. Single conductor cable should be

used as a last resort as it provides the greatest likelihood of problems. The “HOT” (+) signal

should be connected to the tip of the Tip/Ring/Sleeve plug. The GROUND should be attached

to the Ring of the Tip/Ring/Sleeve plug at the LSR4328P / LSR4326P input.

Diagram E details the connections using unbalanced cable and Tip/Sleeve connections to the

1/4″ or XLR input.

Digital Audio Connections

Always use high-quality cable designed for use with digital equipment.

We recommend the use of 110 ohm balanced cabling for AES/EBU connections, with a

maximum cable length of 100 meters (approximately 330 feet). 75 ohm cabling should be

used for S/PDIF connections, with a maximum cable length of 10 meters (approximately 33

feet).

Appendix E: SPL Calibration

The chart below shows the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) delivered by the speaker when the

listening position is 1 meter (3.3 feet), 2 meters (6.6 feet) and 3 meters (roughly 10 feet).

You can create a visual reference for any listening distance using a readily-available Sound

Pressure Level (SPL) meter and a pink-noise source. Here is the procedure for doing so:

1. Place the SPL meter at the mix position and turn it on.

2. Begin playing the pink noise source back through your LSR4300 speakers.

3. Using the +/- buttons, raise the LSR4300 system volume so that the ﬁrst amber-

colored LED (-10 dB) begins to ﬂicker and note the amount registered in the SPL meter.

You now know the approximate SPL the speaker is contributing whenever the ﬁrst amber LED

begins to illuminate. Alternately, set the system volume to produce the desired SPL at the mix

position and make a visual note of the illuminated meter segment that correlates to the desired

SPL. Using LSR4300 Control Center Software, you can store and recall a system volume

settting that produces your desired SPL.

Caution: Unsafe mounting or overhead suspension of any heavy load can result in serious

injury and equipment damage. Mounting of speakers should be done by qualiﬁed persons in

accordance with all applicable local safety and construction standards. Be certain to follow the

instructions provided by the manufacturer of the mounting bracket. Before selecting a mount-

ing bracket, be certain that it is capable of supporting the weight of the speaker to be mounted.

Notes:

All measurements unless otherwise stated made anechoically in a 4p environment at 2 meters,

referenced to 1 meter by inverse square law.

The reference measurement microphone position is located perpendicular to the centerline of

the low and high frequency transducers at the point 63.5 mm (2.5 in) below the center of the

high frequency diaphragm.

Acoustic loading provided by the listening room increases maximum SPL capability and low

frequency bass extension as compared to stated anechoic values.

Distortion measurements performed with the input voltage necessary to produce the stated

A- weighted SPL at the stated measurement distance. Distortion ﬁgures refer to the maximum

distortion measured in any 1/10th octave wide band in the stated frequency range.

JBL continually engages in research related to performance improvements. New materials, pro-

duction methods, and design reﬁnements are introduced into existing products without notice as

a routine expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current JBL product may differ in

some respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design

speciﬁcation unless otherwise stated.
