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.

Love them!

Andyjavs 01.11.2020

These are great all round speakers. I’d definitely recommend them for anyone.
Sound quality is good all round for music, dialogues and movies.
The main advantage for me was having both Bluetooth and jack inputs. I’m currently using the jack inputs for video editing and Bluetooth for music playback via Spotify from phone / laptop. The input selection has an ‘All input’ option which means you can listen to all inputs simultaneously.
The setup and operation are very straight forward. Also delivery from Thomann was very prompt.
One slight issue as others have noted is the overly loud startup and Bluetooth searching alerts. There is no way to lower the volume of these. It’s a small detail and wouldn’t put me off buying another pair.

I was looking for a pair of inexpensive studio monitors for playing through guitar plugins and use them as my PC speakers. These are my first monitors so i'm not an expert, but i'm pleased with them, there is deffinetly a significant difference to my previous cheap speakers. Keep in mind, that they have a slight hiss when volume is turned on, a usuall thing for some studio monitors.

Surprisingly solid for the price!

yukjyukj 16.02.2023

Bought a pair to use as reference speakers mainly (bedroom producer scenario) to get out of the headphones from time to time.

Things I like about them:
* Size: they're tiny and my desk space is extremely scarce
* Sound quality: yes, they're lacking in low-low bass department due to size, but overall bass is still solid. Mids and trebles are perfect IMO.
* Commutation options: my PC goes to RCA, synth to TRS, and I use BT to stream some music from phone/tablet occasionally. So everything is occupied!
* Design: I love egg-shaped objects :D. Also they act as a headphones stand pretty nice.
* Price.

Things I do not like:
* Boot sound is annoying and you cannot disable it. But since they have a low-power sleep mode when no signal is coming, this is not a much of an issue.

Overall I'm extremely satisfied with them.

Good monitors for this price.

This speakers are good choice for its value. Monitors are not so big but have good sound. May be there is one thing that I have not appreciated it's very loud boom when Bluetooth is starting.
