JBL 705P - 250W 5-inch Powered 2-Way Master Reference Monitor with DSP and EQ in Black Finish

The JBL Professional 705P is a self-powered 5-inch reference monitor designed for critical music recording, film post-production, and broadcast applications. Leveraging JBL's renowned Image Control Waveguide and the same patent-pending driver technologies used in the 708P and flagship M2 Master Reference Monitors, the 705P delivers unmatched performance despite its compact size. Ideal for demanding production environments, the 705P is engineered to provide a higher dynamic range and more output than traditional studio monitors of similar size. With the ability to deliver two to three times the output of existing monitors, it is the perfect solution for projects that require greater working distances, such as post-production and mastering work. The result is a studio monitor that offers pristine accuracy, an expansive soundstage, and exceptional sonic detail, making it an indispensable tool for professionals who demand the highest quality in their mixes.

The JBL 705P utilizes innovative JBL transducer technology to deliver exceptional low-frequency extension and high-frequency clarity. The 725G low-frequency transducer provides deep, low-distortion bass with a peak-to-peak excursion of 14mm, ensuring a linear response that extends down to 39 Hz. Paired with the 2409H high-frequency compression driver, which features a low-mass annular diaphragm, the 705P offers smooth response well beyond 36 kHz with very low distortion. This combination of drivers allows the 705P to achieve exceptional low-frequency output and impeccable high-frequency clarity, ensuring the most accurate sound reproduction across the full frequency spectrum. The JBL Image Control Waveguide enables an acoustically seamless transition between the low and high-frequency transducers, providing an immersive soundstage with precise imaging and detailed soundstage reproduction, even off-axis. This feature ensures that you get a neutral and balanced sound representation no matter where you're sitting in the room.

In addition to its exceptional drivers and waveguide technology, the JBL 705P offers built-in DSP with 8 parametric filters for room equalization and 4 user-defined filters, giving you complete control over the monitor's acoustic performance. The 705P also provides a 3-position HF trim switch for adjusting high-frequency response and compensating for room acoustics. The inclusion of advanced digital processing ensures the monitor delivers accurate sound reproduction at any listening level, with a frequency response of 45 Hz to 25 kHz (+/- 3 dB) and a maximum peak SPL of 107 dB. The dual, bi-amplified Class D amplifiers - 250W dedicated to the high-frequency transducer and 250W to the low-frequency transducer - offer excellent headroom, dynamic range, and performance. Whether used in a small studio or a large room, the 705P ensures you have accurate, powerful, and transparent sound at your fingertips.

The JBL 705P is equipped with multiple input options, including balanced XLR analog and AES3 digital inputs, as well as a digital pass-through, offering maximum connectivity flexibility for various professional environments. For precise monitoring in multi-channel setups, the 705P also features an RJ-45 network connection for Harman HiQnet connectivity. The speaker's robust design includes a ported enclosure with a JBL SlipStream port tube, constructed from 9mm birch plywood, providing enhanced low-frequency performance. A protective steel grille ensures durability, while its compact design and weight of 12.5 lbs make it easy to integrate into any studio setup. With advanced DSP control, precise acoustic performance, and a sleek, modern design, the JBL 705P provides an exceptional monitoring experience that professionals can rely on for years to come.
