The series includes the LSR2328P biamplified 8-inch studio monitor; the LSR2315P biamplified 5-inch studio monitor; the LSR2310SP powered, 10-inch studio subwoofer; and the MSC1 monitor system controller with RMC (Room Mode Correction). In developing the LSR2300 Series, JBL applied the same Linear Spatial Reference criteria used in the design of its LSR6300 and LSR4300 series. Linear Spatial Reference design criteria requires 72 measurements, reportedly yielding more than 1,200 times more data, enabling the company to engineer a system that produces neutral frequency response at the mix position.

DVZ Strings 2.0 reportedly allows users to produce the real-world balance of live musicians in real time without loading or unloading different samples. It is organized into sections that translate directly to MIDI mockups as well as immediately playable scores with parts that the company points out “don’t need exhaustive manual correction and annotation for articulations.” Enhancements in the latest version include re-mastered Strings; microtonal scaling for world music, key-switching options, three Decca Tree room mic selections, individual stereo outputs for each string section and AudioPort — a digital audio over LAN process which links PCs to Mac, eliminating the need for soundcards.
