JBL 308P MKII Studio Monitor - Secondhand

Full Description

Studio clarity and power

The JBL 308P MKII Studio Monitor is the latest in the LSR series from JBL, refining the original design and adding a range of new features and enhancements. The 6-inch active bi-amplified design ensures optimal audio performance, with dedicated custom Class-D amplifiers providing 112W of power in both the HF and LF range.

The monitor itself is comprised of a long-throw 6-inch woofer for a powerful, defined low-end. The 1-inch Neodymium tweeter provides sparkling, detailed highs. The redesigned circuitry and application of the latest manufacturing principles, results in improved sound performance, this gives you an immersive stereo field and a broad sweet spot. The accuracy and clarity it produces captures every nuance of your source audio.

The result is a crisp, transparent sound that is ideal for mixing and mastering applications, giving you a true representation of your sound that will translate to other mediums.

New boundary EQ settings

One of the new features of the JBL 308P MKII Studio Monitor is the inclusion of Boundary EQ settings. This gives you the ability to further attenuate your low-end boost, which can occur when the monitor is placed on a desktop or near a wall.

This allows you to change the way the monitor responds for optimised audio performance, even in confined spaces. This is accompanied by a 3-position HF trim switch for adjusting the high-frequency response for added attenuation control. Being able to tune your monitor to your room is integral to getting that studio sound.

Design and connectivity

Building on the success of the original LSRs, JBL has retained the same stylish and sleek aesthetic, as well as ensuring maximum reliability. The 3-series monitors have to pass JBL's demanding Power Test.

It also boasts flexible connectivity, allowing you to use the monitors with audio interfaces and more. Balanced XLR and ¼-inch TRS inputs allow you to communicate with a wide range of equipment from interfaces to mixers and more.

The input also features adjustable sensitivity, allowing you to select between +4dBu/-10dBV for optimised audio performance and signal integrity.
