JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor

D2 DUAL DIAPHRAGM DUAL VOICE COIL COMPRESSION DRIVER

The Ultimate High Frequency Driver for Critical Reference Monitoring, Extended HF Reproduction, Smooth Response, High Power Handling Measurably Lower Distortion, Reduced Power Compression, Increased Dynamic Headroom

DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE® TECHNNOLOGY

Enhanced Performance and Exceptional Low Frequency Extension, High Output, Very Low Power Compression, Very Low Distortion

Achieving extended, rich low frequency performance within the M2 system design parameters required additional JBL engineering innovations, and the 2216Nd in the M2 is no “off-the-shelf” woofer. It employs no less than five patented technologies to allow bass extension to the limits of the audible range, and high output, free of power compression that is detrimental to a system’s low frequency performance. Echoing the “dual driver” design of the D2, the 2216Nd utilizes dual neodymium magnets and two voice coils. To ensure the ultimate performance, even the use of special wire in the 2216 voice coils is a JBL patented application.

IMAGE CONTROL WAVEGUIDE

Impressive Imaging and Sound Stage, Exceptional High Frequency Detail, Uniform Directivity for Smooth In-Room Response

To support an imperceptible transition between the two drivers, and deliver exceptional imaging, JBL engineers pioneered a new patent-pending waveguide design that enables neutral frequency response, not just on-axis, but off-axis in the vertical and horizontal planes, all the way down to the M2’s 800 Hz crossover point.

LSR LINEAR SPATIAL REFERENCE DESIGN

We all know that many loudspeakers have similar measurements but sound different. By going beyond simple on-axis frequency response measurements, JBL defines the ultimate performance specification for new systems – what it will sound like in your room. At the mix position, you hear a combination of direct sound and sound reflected from the rooms surfaces. For sound arriving at the mix position to be smooth and neutral, it is not enough for a speaker to measure “flat” on-axis; it is essential the speaker have excellent off-axis performance.

M2 ENCLOSURE

Small Footprint, Extended Bass Performance, Patented Low Frequency Port Design

Extended low frequency performance and high SPL can be the formula for unwanted resonance. The M2 enclosure is constructed of rigid 1" MDF and with the aid of JBL’s interferometer, extensively braced for rock-solid stability at the system’s full rated power. The enclosure incorporates a JBL patented Slipstream port design with internal flares that ensure low frequency efficiency while eliminating noise caused by port turbulence. Architecturally elegant, the M2 enclosure occupies a relatively small footprint, and can be transported to various working environments.

System Integration

While offering exceptional accuracy “out of the box,” the power of the M2 is fully realized with its intelligent in-room tuning and integration capabilities, ensuring optimum performance in your listening environment.
