 The claimed advantage of studio monitors is that the production translates better to other sound systems.In the 1970s, the JBL 4311's domestic equivalent, the L-100, was used in a large number of homes, while the Yamaha NS-10 served both domestically and professionally during the 1980s.Despite not being a "commercial product" at the outset, the BBC licensed production of the LS3/5A monitor, which it used internally.
