Connect the speakers together in any order using the supplied CA T5 cable. Plug one end of the cable into either of the two HiQnet ports on one speaker and the other end into a HiQnet port [...]

7 tivity switch to +4dBV (switch IN) or -10dBu (switch OUT) to match the nominal level of the signal source. If you don’t know how to set the switch, consult the documentation for the signal source. Most professional devices operate at +4dBV while most consumer devices operate at -10dBu. (See page 24 in this manual for a wiring diagram.)  Do N[...]

8 8. Power up your signal source, then press the front panel POWER button on any speaker . All speakers in the system will power on (the JBL Logo will go from dimly to brightly lit.)  T o avoid “thumps” which can damage your speakers, always power up the signal source FIRST and your LSR4300 monitors LAST . 9. Set the initial speaker volume b[...]

Below is a listing and description of each. 1. Power Indicator – The JBL logo lights at two dif ferent levels. It is illuminated di[...]

10 2. Power – After connection to an AC power source, press this button to turn the speaker on. If networked together with other speakers, all speakers will turn on simultaneously . Press the button again to return the speaker to a low-power stand-by mode, where the internal amplifiers are turned off and all user functions are deactivated. As sh[...]

1 1  Y ou can calibrate your LSR4300 system so that the meter display will show how much SPL the speaker is contributing at the listening position. For more information, see Appendix E on page 38 in this manual. 4. SOLO – Press this button to mute the signal on all other speakers. As shown below , when this function is active, the SOLO button [...]

12  When a brand new LSR4300 speaker is first powered on or if its factory settings have been recalled (see page 30 in this manual), the RMC button lights steadily to indicate that an RMC calibration needs to be performed. For more information, see page 25 in this manual. 6. EQ – Pressing this button allows you to enable or bypass the LSR4300[...]

13 9. PRESET – Allows you to select and activate one of six factory EQ presets, or a seventh “current setting” preset. T o recall a preset, press the PRESET button. It will flash. While flashing, use the + or – buttons to select the desired preset. R eference - F ront Panel[...]

14 When a preset is selected, the LF and HF buttons will illuminate to indicate whether the currently selected preset has LF and/or HF boost or cut. The preset becomes active when the PRESET button stops flashing (after approximately 3 seconds). If no preset is selected during that time (that is, the +/- buttons have not been pressed), or if you s[...]

16 1 1. +/ - – These increment/decrement buttons have dif ferent functions, depending upon whether a front panel button is flashing or not. If a front panel button is flashing, they are used to increment or decrement the value of the selected parameter . (For example, if the PRESET button is flashing, the +/- buttons step through the various e[...]

17 4. RMC Microphone Input – 1/8 ″ connector for the supplied RMC calibration microphone. CAUTION: This input connector pr ovides +15 volts of phantom power , so be sure to not connect any device other than the supplied RMC calibration microphone to this connector . 5. S/PDIF input connector (phono) – Input connector for incoming digital sign[...]

18 Remote Control The provided infrared wireless remote control allows you to make adjustments to your LSR4300 system without leaving the mix position. The remote control duplicates all the controls found on the speaker front panel (such as power on, volume adjust, soloing, input select, EQ adjustment and preset selection) and adds the following ex[...]

19  When using the remote control with a networked system, always aim it at the LEFT speaker . 1. ON – Duplicates the function of the front panel POWER control. 2. RMC – Press to bypass RMC settings. (The front panel RMC buttons will light.) Press again to reactivate RMC settings.  The remote control cannot be used to initiate the RMC cal[...]

20 Speaker Placement The design of the LSR4300 system lends itself to a wide variety of placement options. Covered here is a typical stereo setup for near- to mid-field monitoring, where the mix position is generally 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) away from the speakers. While the exact stereo listening angle is largely a matter of personal prefere[...]

21 AC Power Connections The LSR4300 voltage is set at the factory for use with either 100V -125V (U.S.) or 200V -250V . The ground terminal of the IEC plug is required by wiring codes and regulations. It must always be connected to the electrical installation safety ground. CAUTION: Do not use three-pin-to-two-pin AC adapters to defeat the ground. [...]

22 The illustrations below show typical network interconnections for both stereo and surround sound use. Networking interconnections and DIP switch settings for stereo use Networking interconnections and DIP switch settings for surround use  At least one LSR4300 monitor in a networked system must have its LEFT DIP switch set to ON.  When usin[...]

23 Audio Connections The LSR4328P and LSR4326P speakers are equipped to accommodate a range of analog and digital signal input sources. Y ou can connect two digital sources and one analog source to each speaker and switch between them using front panel controls, or the wireless remote control and/or LSR4300 Control Center software. Analog Connectio[...]

Because room modes create resonance at specific frequencies with very narrow bandwidths (sometimes called “Q”), the on-board analyzer has the intelligence to identify the specific frequency and Q and apply a cor[...]

26 Following are step-by-step instructions for performing an RMC calibration: 1. Make sure all LSR4300 monitors are positioned as intended. 2. Using the mic clip, attach the provided calibration microphone to a mic stand and place the mic at the mix position, oriented vertically , at ear level. Be sure that it is no closer than 1.5 feet (.46 meters[...]

27 Do not block the signal coming from any speaker while performing RMC calibration. 5. Each speaker in the system will sequentially emit a reference tone and its meter will show a left-to-right “chase” pattern that indicates the system is calibrating.  The RMC procedure produces a fairly loud swept sine wave calibration tone that can surpri[...]

28  The supplied calibration microphone must be connected to perform RMC. If the RMC button is pressed and held for 3 seconds or longer and no mic is connected, the meter display will flash to indicate an error condition, and all RMC settings currently in memory will be erased. RMC error condition T o bypass the calibrated settings and compare [...]

29 The LSR4328P and LSR4326P provide six factory EQ presets. (A complete listing of all parameters for the factory presets is presented in Appendix A). T o recall a preset, press the front panel PRESET button on any networked speaker (it will begin blinking), then use the + or – buttons to select the desired preset. Preset 1 is indicated by the l[...]

30 Restoring Factory Settings Setting all DIP Switches to the ON position and re-powering a speaker clears all user settings (such as RMC calibration and EQ settings) stored in the speaker ’ s memory . T o clear the memory of a speaker and recall the factory EQ presets: 1. T urn the speaker off and disconnect its power cable. 2. Set all eight DIP[...]

The cabling recommendations given below follow standard wiring practice for differential inputs. Balanced Sources The best way to run your system is balanced, where both “HOT” (+) and “COL[...]

35 Unbalanced Sources When using unbalanced sources, there are more possibilities to introduce ground loops into a system. The LSR4328P and LSR4326P offer several ways to help alleviate potential problems with unbalanced equipment. While there are only HOT and GROUND/SHIELD connections from unbalanced sources, it is recommended that high quality tw[...]

36 Diagram D details the connections using single conductor shielded cable with a T ip/Ring/ Sleeve or XLR plug for the LSR4328P / LSR4326P input. Single conductor cable should be used as a last resort as it provides the greatest likelihood of problems. The “HOT” (+) signal should be connected to the tip of the T ip/Ring/Sleeve plug. The GROUND[...]
