Create the Perfect Mix Environment

Engineering isn't constrained to purpose-built production spaces. Small rooms are taking on final mixes, stereo rooms are stepping up to surround, and object-based audio is becoming the norm for post-production studios. That's why you need the JBL Intonato 24. It accommodates up to 24 speakers. It tackles stereo, surround, and immersive audio with ease. Best of all, you can analyze and calibrate each speaker's response for absolute accuracy. Enjoy customized routing of up to 24 analog, digital, and networked audio sources. Take comprehensive control of your monitoring via Mac, PC, or tablet. With an Intonato 24 in your rack, you'll benefit from an ideal monitoring environment wherever you go.

Achieve top-notch mixes in any space with Automated Speaker Calibration

Any experienced engineer will tell you that your room's acoustics can make or break a mix. Having a purpose-built production room is the best solution. Proper acoustic treatment is the next best thing. But harnessing control of low-frequency areas is always a challenge. That's why the Intonato 24 features Automated Speaker Calibration. Using the included measurement microphone, the Intonato 24 automatically adjusts each speaker in your system to correct room-related low-frequency problems. Speaker calibration is old hat to JBL. Many of us here at Sweetwater have had LSR monitors with Room Mode Correction in our personal studios for more than a decade. We bought these monitors because of their innovative tech, and we've kept them because it's still effective. And it's come a long way since then!

This immersive-ready system is loaded with I/O

If you're working in cinematic post-production, you need to keep up with today's object-based audio. You need enough I/O to accommodate 5.1, 7.1, Dolby Atmos, and DTS-X projects, and powerful routing capabilities to manage large channel counts. That's why the JBL Intonato 24 is loaded with enough I/O to handle up to 24 speakers. It also makes connecting, calibrating, and integrating subwoofers into your system easy. Assign up to four subwoofers as Bass Management subs with selectable crossover settings for reproducing the LFE channel of a soundtrack. Enjoy flexible patching, routing, and monitoring of analog, digital, and networked audio sources. You can also store and recall custom user profiles, so adapting to different projects and workflows is a piece of cake.

Build a complete monitoring system with JBL 7 Series studio monitors

While the Intonato 24 can be used with any passive or powered speakers, it's especially powerful when paired with JBL 7 Series studio monitors. 7 Series speakers feature a powerful bi-amplification system and an innovative waveguide that creates a large sonic sweet spot. 7 Series monitors were tailor-made for immersive audio applications. They deliver extraordinary output and detail, an expansive soundstage, and incredible accuracy for recording, film post-production, and broadcast. You can also network the Intonato 24 to Crown power amplifiers and a vast array of other JBL system components. Use the Intonato 24 as the hub of your 7 Series system, and you'll be equipped to tackle any project that's thrown your way.

Intuitive control via computer, tablet, or desktop controller

JBL made it easy to take command of the Intonato 24. Download a FREE app to your Mac, PC, or tablet, for simple setup and control. You can also use the optional Intonato Desktop Controller (sold separately) to achieve complete control over system volume, recall of user-configured scenes, activation of speaker mutes and solos, and other frequently used features.

Turns any monitoring system into a highly accurate, flexible, tuned system
I bought an Intonato 24 almost exactly 2 years ago to tune my Dynaudio 7.2 system (7x Dynaudio BM15a/ 2x Dynaudio BX30subs) for more accurate surround mixes. Last year I replaced the Dynaudio system with 3 JBL M2s and JBL 8330a cinema surround speakers. I would have never considered being able to afford the M2 system as it is normally packaged- with Crown i-TECH HD amps. The Crowns have the necessary DSP for crossing over the M2s as they have no built-in crossovers in the cabinets. The only other way to get the proprietary DSP is with a BSS SOUndweb London processor or (as I found out thumbing through the Intonato24 owner's manual) the Intonato24.

The Intonato sounds great and is easy to set up. The app for OSX and iOS is a little klunky- renaming things requires a few more clicks than should be necessary- but it is rock solid and like I said, sounds great. The fact that it works with any speaker/ amp combination you already have makes it a breeze to integrate into an existing monitoring system. But when used in conjunction with JBL 708/ 705 / M2 speakers it becomes a bargain. The Avid MTX would be another good choice, but a similarly powerful setup costs multiples of what the Intonato costs. Apparently Yamaha has something competitive available now, and of course the heavy hitters have been using Trinnov processors for a while now. But with the Intonato's reliability, sound quality, flexibility, and features (especially in conjunction with the aforementioned JBL monitors) it's a no brainer for multichannel monitoring setups. I have presets for 5.1, 5.2, 7.1, 7.2, three different stereo and 2.1 configurations. All speakers are time-aligned to the mix position through the Intonato. The ability match and calibrate listening levels of various configurations for various mixing formats, implement the X-Curve EQ profile when needed, toggle between mono, stereo, and multichannel scenes all without any reconfiguration makes it a critical component in my control room.
