Compact coaxial speakers

The JBL 104-BT speakers are characterised by their compact dimensions. These coaxial speakers are the perfect choice for anyone who is looking for more discretely sized studio monitors for use on desks or on the go. The JBL 104-BT speakers feature an innovative acoustic design, a powerful 60W amplifier (Class D), and high-quality 4.5" woofers and 0.75" soft-dome tweeters for excellent sound reproduction. The speaker system also comes with three physical input options and an integrated Bluetooth 5.0 interface for connecting domestic playback devices, consumer electronics, and professional sound equipment.

One master, one slave

The JBL 104-BT speakers are driven by a powerful 60W Class D digital amplifier, which is located in the housing of the master speaker and distributes 30W to each speaker, enabling the speaker system to achieve a peak level of 104db SPL. The extension speaker receives the audio signal from the master speaker via a standard speaker cable, and the speaker system is operated using the controls on the front panel, which include an input selector switch and a status LED for Bluetooth operation, in addition to the volume control. The input selector switch allows audio sources to be used individually or in combination.

Excellent sound in a compact design

The compact design of the JBL 104-BT makes this speaker system the ideal choice for all desktop applications and for use on the go. Thanks to their small dimensions, the speakers can be used on the smallest of desks or easily packed in luggage, providing a winning combination of powerful and accurate sound despite their small construction, equally suited to music enjoyment and audio editing. The three physical input options allow different equipment to be connected, while the integrated Bluetooth 5.0 interface offers the convenience of wireless audio streaming.

About JBL

JBL is an American company founded by James B. Lansing in 1946, which first went under the name of Lansing Sound Inc. Following legal disputes with Lansing's previous company, Altec Lansing, Lansing Sound Inc. changed its name first to James B. Lansing Sound Inc., and then finally to JBL in 1949. JBL's current headquarters are based in Los Angeles, USA. The company is well known for its audio system equipment, including loudspeakers and headphones, and is divided into two branches: JBL Consumer, which is dedicated to the consumer sector, and JBL Professional, which is focused on the professional audio sector and offers equipment for studios, live applications, and cinemas. JBL has been a part of Harman International Industries Inc. since 1969, which in 2017 became a subsidiary of the Samsung Group.

By cable or Bluetooth 5.0

A major advantage of the JBL 104-BT is the integrated Bluetooth 5.0 interface, which enables wireless music streaming from a laptop or mobile telephone via a streaming service. The RCA sockets and 3.5mm auxiliary connection, which provide hassle-free connection of domestic playback devices and consumer electronic devices, will also be a major benefit. Anyone wishing to use the JBL 104-BT for commercial applications, however, will benefit from the symmetrical TRS sockets, which allow an interference-free connection to professional equipment such as audio interfaces.

Do not buy if you need midrange. Or an even remotely accurate sound.
Kasper Drazewski 30.08.2023
Disclaimer: my basis for comparison as near-field monitors are mainly IK Micromonitors and ILoud MTMs which I own, and a couple Dynaudio models in various sizes which I am quite familiar with. I have seen reviews here which compare the JBLs to portable BT speakers by this company. If you apply this as frame of reference, YMMV.

I bought the JBL104 based on good reviews and a seemingly lower price at Thomann than elsewhere, looking for inexpensive but still decently resolving, solidly built monitors that would work well in a multimedia setup used by kids.

The first major turnoff is the JBL startup jingle upon powering on, which is the same as used in some of their bluetooth speakers. Here it is played at what feels like max volume, making the speakers rattle with effort. Killed by your own startup sound? Not unlikely it would seem. Thankfully, if you leave them on and let them sleep when unused, they will not make any sound upon wakeup. Same goes for Bluetooth - you get a grille-rattling noise upon connection, but when it reconnects, it's blessed silence.

I started them off via Bluetooth with a range of sources, including the recent Google Chromecast. They sounded like a failed buy off the bat; with a boomy, low quality bass protruding everywhere, shrill highs which carry very little detail and a dead midrange, with the tiny in-built amp clearly struggling with the midwoofers which seem far too large for its capabilities. It's the type of sound that makes you want to increase the volume in an effort to actually hear something.

The input selector allows you to choose between a number of sources (kudos there) or have them all on at once - a nice move by JBL. Connected via RCA inputs they do come alive to an extent, showing there is potential in the mids to come a little to the front. But it is also the type of speaker/amp combo that has you endlessly fiddling with the EQ in your source between tracks, because what works on one will sound awful on another. The ever-present bass is the biggest culprit (needs to be cut by 6dB or more starting at 150-180 Hz to become remotely linear).

All in all, still not sure if they are a keeper. I would definitely cry if I paid the average price they go for these days - for that you can have a pair of refurbished Micromonitors which are in a completely different league.

Great Compact Speakers
Cobaltic 29.06.2023
Cons:
- lacking low end (to be expected for the size)
- can't turn off startup sound

Pros:
- compact size (shape makes them look even smaller)
- not the best, but nice sound quality
- nice design (subjective)
- lots of connectivity options
- material feels premium (does not feel like cheap plastic to the touch)
- relatively affordable (I was considering these or iLoud micros (3x price) - because I needed small speakers)

Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir für alle Recordisten.
Piet F. 15.06.2023
Wie beworben , handelt es sich bei den JBL 104-BT um
aktive " kompakte Studio Desktop" Monitore. Die JBL 104-BT White
sind etwas größer als gewöhnliche
PC Lautsprecher.
Sie sollen für mich unterwegs bei mobilen Aufnahmen möglichst
genau wiedergeben, was gerade eingespielt/ aufgenommen wurde , als grobe Abhöre fungieren und auch auch als Zweit- Drittabhöre .

Die Kanaltrennung, welche bei einem Master- und Slave-Lautsprecher oft
zu Beanstandungen führt, ist hier meiner Meinung nach sehr gut gelungen. Mann kann sehr deutlich die ausgewogene Abstimmung
der beiden Lautsprecher hören , keine der beiden klingt lauter oder leiser bei gleichem Pegel.
Wenn man die JBL 104-BT auf dem Schreibtisch stehen hat, sollte man besser nicht allzu nahe an den Schreibtisch rücken, hier gilt es etwas Abstand zu halten, wie eigentlich für alle Abhörmonitore empfohlen, dann ist der Winkel des Sweet Spots durchaus in Ordnung.

Auch die Wiedergabe der Höhen Mitten und Bässe ( bis 60 HZ) würde ich
als sehr transparent und klar beschreiben. Man kann das aufgenommene Material gut bewerten, da auch die Tiefenstaffelung für kleine Monitore erstaunlich gut wiedergegeben wird
Die Lautsprecher neigen auch bei voll auf Anschlag aufgedrehtem Volumenregler nicht zum Verzerren, was auf reichlich Reserven schließen läßt.
Die JBL 104-BT sind nicht so laut, wie die angegebenen 30 Watt rms pro Kanal vermuten lassen, für mich sind diese aber mehr als ausreichend laut, auch zum reinen Konsumieren von Musik.
Die JBL 104-BT unterscheiden sich von den von derselben Firma hergestellten
akkubetriebenen Charge , Extreme und Essential Consumer-Lautsprechern stark. die JBL 104-BT bleiben immer klar definiert und neigen nicht zum Verzerren,klingen dabei aber durchaus nicht kalt.
Die Mitten bedürfen bei mittenlastiger Musik (Rock etc) einer leichten Anpassung per EQ.
Wer den Klang JBL Charge etc zugrunde legt und von den JBL 104-BT
denselben Sound , eben nur lauter erwartet, wird enttäuscht.
Umgekehrt kann man mit diesen Lautsprechern aber alles Abhören, speziell in den tiefen und höheren Frequenzbereichen, in denen die akkubetriebenen Geräte von JBL zum Verzerren neigen.
Für das reine Konsumieren sind diese kleinen Abhörmonitore eher nicht gedacht, eher für Broadcaster, mobile Aufnahmesessions bei denen vorab eine Beurteilung des Mixes etc von Nöten ist.
Für schlanke 129 Euro sind diese aktiven Monitore , wie der Engländer sagt, a steal , gut aussehen tun diese allemal.
Die Vielfalt der Anschlußmöglichkeiten ist schon von Anderen gelobt worden und ich kann diese bestätigen.
Beim ersten Hörversuch über BT mußte ich allerdings das Smartphone
erst einmal neu starten, bevor BT funktionierte.
Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir für alle Recordisten.

Povedené bedny.
jan :-j 23.08.2023
Mám je na stole asi dva týdny. Opravdu se mi líbí a užívám si jejich podání. Používám je v malém prostoru. Provedl jsem také měření s měřícím mikrofonem a softwarem.
Jsem mile překvapen, jaký mají vyrovnaný přednes. Samozřejmě s ohledem na jejich velikost.
Jediná vlastnost, která mě o p r a v d u vadí je, že není možné vypnout "uvítací" zvuk při zapnutí boxů.
Například deaktivaci StandBy módu, výrobce uživateli umožnil.
Při každém zapnutí přesvědčuji sám sebe, že si na to u r č i t ě zvyknu.
Uvidíme, možná je jednou prohodím oknem. To už ale výrobce, (doufám) vyrobí novou verzi, která bude bez této otravné ne-zbytnosti. :-)
Přeji všem vše dobré.
