JBL 4367 (2015)
A two-way floor-standing studio monitor that brings M2 Master Reference Monitor technology into a more accessible, consumer-oriented design.
Overview
The JBL 4367 is a high-end studio monitor introduced in October 2015 at CEDIA, designed as a more consumer-friendly adaptation of the acclaimed JBL Professional M2 Master Reference Monitor. Built by JBL (James B. Lansing Design), it distills key technologies from the M2 into a slightly more compact floor-standing form, targeting audiophiles and high-fidelity enthusiasts seeking professional-grade performance. The speaker is a two-way, bass-reflex design, featuring a cast-frame 15-inch woofer and a dual-diaphragm compression driver. It ships as a single unit per box, including one grille. The 4367 was positioned as a premium offering in JBL’s Synthesis line, with an original suggested retail price of $15,000 per pair.

The dual-diaphragm D2430K compression driver is designed for low distortion and wide bandwidth, while the 15-inch 2216Nd-1 woofer uses dual 3-inch voice coils to improve control and reduce harmonic distortion. The bass-reflex cabinet is engineered for extended low-frequency response and , supporting a linear on-axis frequency response described as "essentially textbook." Front-panel controls include high-frequency level adjustment for room tuning.
