We decided to check out the JBL LSR305 powered monitors for trance production since hearing a lot of good things about the pair. We were totally impressed by their amazing stereo field and balance and we wondered, if the first impressions would translate into a good mixing result and decided to produce a basic trance track with this nice looking pair of monitors.
And they didnt dissapoint, the delivery was great considering the price point of these monitors. JBL has managed to put great performance in these things for even for someone with a lower budget when considering purchasing home studio monitors.
The Looks and Technology
The LSR305 are good looking fancy pair of monitors, especially for their price point. Though the LSR305 may look like your ordinary studio monitors at first glance, a closer look reveals a fancy, very original desing around the tweeters. The design is cruicial to JBL´s image control (ICW) technology, that is designed to break sound frequencies to get expansive center image from any position the listener is at. Without compromising accuracy. We played around with various sound sources and studio templates and the performance was indeed, impressing.
