The JBL was as bad sounding as the other comparison video linked last week by another uploader. Not a fan!

Please note that the JBL and S1 had all EQ disabled. It sounds great when the EQ’s are used and they are indeed the standout feature.

Here is the signal chain
PC -> Focusrite 2i2 Output 1-> JBL input 2 -> JBL output -> Focusrite 2i2 Input 2. I use Room EQ wizard (free) https://www.roomeqwizard.com/

I haven't been following this post much past the original video as though I'm always interested in new gear, I've been so happy with my two Bose S1 Pro setup that I'm not really looking to replace them. But I'm always delighted to see new gear pop up. That said, I was shocked (much like Cuki79 above) when I heard your brief video update and comparison. I don't know if it was just my admittedly limited Macbook Air laptop speakers but the S1 sounded really pretty good and the JBL and PA sounded pretty bad! Maybe after nearly a year I'm just so acclimated to the S1 sound that that is what sounds 'right' to me? Hmm. Hey, if you ever need someone to do some harmonies with you at a show, my daughter lives and works in NYC! She's a musical theater grad and has a gift for singing and harmonizing. |

I spent a good hour and a half today with my Turner Renaissance RS6 (DTAR with 18v preamp) plugged into my S1 and the JBL. The only EQ I did with the S1 was to put it in tilt back position to lower the low end. And it still had LOTS of bass. Volume was at noon and tone match was off.
The S1 is just spectacular to my ears and it's a good bit smaller than the JBL. With some basic eq (just increasing bass and treble), I got the JBL to sound quite good in PERFORMANCE EQ mode. I tried messing further with the channel EQ, but I'm just not that knowledgeable when it comes to specific frequencies. That's where something pre-tuned like the S1 can be a better fit for me. I did get the JBL to sound like a good prosumer pa speaker, which is what it is. A very nice full sound that's even more adjustable with what I think are very useable and excellent live effects. The one thing I can't seem to duplicate on the JBL is the percussiveness of the S1. You know how a good tight sub can hit you in the gut so you feel it? The S1 does that but in the high end. I can't get that with the JBL. I'm don't think I need to, but at close range that may be the real difference. And Aaron: Set the JBL flat and try it with your Kemper. It's not bad. Performance mode too. |
