JBL 104SET-BT-US JBL 104 Studio Monitors
The JBL 104 pair delivers compact, articulate monitoring in a footprint that fits tight studio spaces without sacrificing acoustic accuracy. These coaxial-driver monitors excel at revealing mix details across a variety of genres and production styles, making them a workhorse choice for home studios, project rooms, and small commercial facilities.
Design & Build
The coaxial driver architecture aligns the 0.75-inch soft-dome tweeter with a contoured 4.5-inch woofer cone, creating superior phase coherence and a focused stereo image from a variety of listening positions. The 1st-order crossover at 1725 Hz ensures smooth integration between drivers, while the compact enclosure minimizes room interaction and setup complexity—crucial for mobile rigs and venue-based monitoring applications.
Output & Connectivity
60 watts of integrated Class D amplification (30 watts per speaker) delivers controlled, low-distortion output with 87 dB SPL sensitivity at 1 meter, enough headroom for small venues, rehearsal spaces, and live mixing situations. Multiple input options—Bluetooth 5.0, RCA, TRS, and auxiliary—allow fast integration with mixing consoles, audio interfaces, and wireless IEM systems without additional adapters or external amplification.

Reviews
At a Glance
The JBL 104SET-BT-US is a compact pair of powered studio monitors built around coaxial drivers that deliver phase-coherent, articulate sound—ideal for home studios and project rooms where space is tight. Live performers and sound operators should look elsewhere; these are studio reference tools designed for mixing and tracking, not stage monitoring or touring.
Who This Is For

| Skill level | Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does coaxial driver design do for mixing?
The coaxial architecture aligns the 0.75-inch tweeter concentrically with the 4.5-inch woofer, creating superior phase coherence and a focused stereo image that stays accurate from different listening positions in the room. This design helps you hear exactly what's in your mix rather than coloration caused by misaligned drivers.
Are these monitors loud enough for a bedroom or small studio?
The JBL 104 delivers 87 dB SPL at 1 meter with 30 watts per speaker, which is plenty of headroom for home recording and mixing sessions in small to medium rooms without needing to crank the volume.
What inputs and wireless options are included?
The monitors feature Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless streaming from phones and tablets, plus wired inputs: RCA, TRS, and auxiliary. This flexibility lets you connect directly to audio interfaces, controllers, computers, or mobile devices without extra adapters or preamps.
How do the JBL 104 compare to the Yamaha HS5 or KRK Rokit 5?
All three are compact 5-inch monitors for small studios; the JBL 104 stands out for its coaxial driver design, which delivers phase coherence and a focused image from various listening angles. Your choice depends on room acoustics and personal preference for low-end character—demo all three if possible.
Can I use these for live performance or on stage?
No; these are studio reference monitors designed for mixing and tracking in controlled rooms. For live sound, stage monitoring, or touring, you need PA speakers or stage monitors rated for road use and higher SPL output.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $17 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
