JBL 1 Series 104BT Monitor Speakers (White)

The JBL 1 Series 104-BT is a compact, coaxial desktop monitor designed for content creators, podcasters, and music producers who need professional-grade sound in a small footprint. They are the Bluetooth-enabled version of the popular 104 reference monitors. Core Features & Design The standout feature of the 104-BT is its coaxial driver design. Unlike traditional speakers where the tweeter and woofer are separate, JBL places the tweeter directly in the center of the woofer. Acoustic Alignment: This ensures that all frequencies reach your ears at the exact same time, providing a wider “sweet spot” and better imaging. Contoured Low-Frequency Port: Despite their size, the rear-firing ports are custom-shaped to provide surprisingly deep bass without the “chuffing” noise found in cheaper speakers. Master/Extension Setup: The left speaker contains the 60-watt Class D amplifier and all controls, while the right speaker is passive and connects via included speaker wire. Technical Specifications Feature Specification LF Driver 4.5-inch (118 mm) HF Driver 0.75-inch (19 mm) soft dome Power Output 60 Watts (30W per speaker), Class D Frequency Range 60 Hz – 20 kHz Max SPL 104 dB (peak) Bluetooth Version 5.0 Input Selection Bluetooth, Aux, RCA, TRS (Balanced) Connectivity & Control The 104-BT is designed to be the hub of a desktop setup. The front panel includes a volume knob and an input selector that allows you to toggle between: Bluetooth: For casual listening or checking mixes on consumer-grade wireless. Aux: 3.5mm input for quick mobile device connections. RCA: Standard unbalanced inputs. TRS: Professional 1/4″ balanced inputs for audio interfaces. All: A unique mode that sums all inputs together—great for monitoring multiple sources simultaneously. Note: The front panel also features a dedicated headphone jack that automatically mutes the speakers when plugged in, making it easy to switch to private monitoring. Sound Profile The Highs: Clear and detailed without being overly “bright” or fatiguing. The Mids: Neutral and forward, which is essential for editing dialogue or vocal-heavy tracks. The Lows: Clean and punchy down to 60 Hz. While they won’t rattle your windows like a dedicated subwoofer, they provide an honest representation of the low-end for their size. Who Are These For? Podcasters/Youtubers: The neutral midrange is perfect for voice editing. Home Studio Beginners: High-quality reference sound that fits on a cramped desk. Travelers: Small enough to fit in a backpack for “on-the-go” editing sessions. Category: Studio Monitors
