JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor – Floorstanding 2-Way Studio Speaker

The JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor sets a new benchmark for reference-quality audio monitoring, combining extreme dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and precise sound reproduction. Designed for professional music, cinema, and broadcast production environments, the M2 provides a free-standing, 2-way system capable of delivering unparalleled accuracy in virtually any studio setup. Its advanced engineering allows it to reproduce in-room frequencies from 20 Hz to 40 kHz with exceptional clarity and impact, ensuring that every nuance of a mix is revealed.

The M2 features JBL’s latest high-output transducers for both low and high frequencies. The 15-inch 2216Nd Differential Drive® woofer delivers extended low-frequency response with very low distortion and minimal power compression, producing tight, controlled bass that maintains accuracy at high SPL levels. For the high frequencies, the dual-diaphragm D2430K compression driver offers extended HF reproduction, smooth response, and outstanding detail, providing exceptional imaging and a precise soundstage. The system’s LSR (Linear Spatial Reference) design ensures uniform directivity and consistent in-room response, enabling accurate monitoring across the listening area.

Compact yet powerful, the M2’s patented low-frequency port design allows a small footprint without compromising bass performance. Each monitor requires a Crown® iTech amplifier (either the 5000HD for a single speaker or the 3x3500HD for a pair) to fully leverage its capabilities. Built with 25 mm MDF and finished in satin black lacquer, the M2 is both visually and acoustically refined. Complete with a removable ABS grille with UL-compliant fabric, the JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor is an essential tool for studios that demand the highest level of reference accuracy, dynamic range, and fidelity.
