JBL M2 2-Way Floor Standing or Soffit Mountable Master Reference Monitor
The JBL M2 delivers the kind of transparent, controlled monitoring that defines professional mastering and mixing environments. Its dual configuration—floor-standing or soffit-mountable—adapts to control room geometry while maintaining acoustic integrity. These are engineered listening tools built to reveal exactly what your mix contains, without coloration or compromise.
Design & Construction
Built from rigid 1″ MDF with extensive internal bracing and finished in satin black lacquer, the M2 combines acoustic stability with a compact footprint of just 26″ × 26″ × 20″ and a weight of 129 lbs per speaker. The rigid enclosure eliminates panel resonance, ensuring that driver output reaches your ears uncolored by structural vibration.
Audio Performance
Anchored by a 2216Nd 15-inch differential drive woofer and a D2430K dual diaphragm dual voice coil compression driver crossed at 800 Hz, the M2 achieves a frequency response of 20 Hz to 40 kHz (±3 dB) with a 120° horizontal by 100° vertical coverage pattern. A maximum SPL of 123 dB means this system can pressurize a room with authority while maintaining clarity at typical mixing and mastering levels, giving you the dynamic headroom to evaluate transients and low-end texture with precision.
