Why MkII?

Since their release, word has spread on the quality and value found in the original JBL 3 Series, resulting in wide adoption from hobbyists to high-end professionals working in music, film, post, and broadcast production worldwide. With such an obvious hit, you might ask, "Why update now?" On every project at JBL, theres always a handful of features or improvements that the engineering team cant squeeze in before going to production. 3 Series was no different. When the opportunity presented itself, we decided to make those final improvements to the transducers, add a frequently-requested feature, and apply the latest manufacturing learnings. The resulta new edition of this popular studio monitor that retains the best qualities of the original, but now looks better, sounds better, and provides transparent sound in even more production environments.

PreciseImage Control Waveguide

Reveal impressive detail, ambience and depth in your mixes thanks to the groundbreaking JBL Image Control Waveguide. Originally developed for JBLs flagship M2 Master Reference Monitor, this patented innovation ensures an acoustically seamless transition between the low- and high-frequency transducers and provides an immersive soundstage with precise imaging. Offering a broad sweet spot and neutral frequency response, JBL 305P MkII delivers a crystal-clear representation of your mixrevealing subtle details, even when listening off-axis.

Next-Generation Transducers

ENHANCED MIXING ACCURACYTo help you make the best mix decisions, we equipped all the monitors in this series with acclaimed 3 Series transducers that now perform even better. Hear deep, accurate and tightly controlled bass thanks to a long-throw woofer and the patented JBL Slip Stream low-frequency port. Enjoy soaring, immaculately detailed highs via the woven-composite 1" Neodymium tweeter. JBL engineers took things to the next level with faster HF transient response through fine-tuned ferrofluid damping, and greater low-frequency linearity and lower harmonic distortion, courtesy of an enhanced woofer design. The result is a studio monitor you can trustwith unmatched peak handling, stunning dynamics and neutral frequency response thats unbeatable in its class.

• Three different sizes available: 305P MkII (5"), 306P MkII (6.5") and 308P MkII (8")
• Next-generation JBL transducers for optimized transient response and improved linearity
• Patented Slip Stream low-frequency port and long-throw woofers provide superior bass performance
• Woven-composite 1" Neodymium tweeter for detailed and accurate highs

BIG SOUND OUT OF THE BOXJBL 305P MkII is ready for the most demanding production styles right out of the box. Dual integrated Class D power amplifiers, custom designed by JBL for each transducer, give you generous dynamic range for any project. From music production and podcasting to cinematic sound design or daily vlogging, enjoy the output and power you need to hear exceptional detail at any volumeeven at peak SPLs. Simply plug in, power on, and start creating.

TAILORED SOUND TO FIT YOUR STUDIOThe dimensions and acoustics of a room can have a major effect on sonic accuracy, and thats why JBL 305P MkII lets you adjust the response to fit your studio. The new Boundary EQ attenuates the low-end boost that can occur when you place monitors directly on the desktop or near walls. The 3-position HF Trim switch allows you to adjust the high-frequency response of the 305P MkII to tailor it to room acoustics or personal tastes.

Flexible Connectivity for Your Studio

Offering both balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs, and adjustable +4dBu/-10dBV input sensitivity, the 305P MkII offers flexible, professional connectivity options to provide easy setup while maintaining your signal integrity.

JBL PROFESSIONAL RELIABILITYJBL Professional studio monitors are designed for reliable performance, even when projects push your gear to the limit. Before being approved for production, 3 Series monitors must first pass JBLs strenuous Power Test. Each model is required to perform flawlessly at maximum volume for an unheard-of 100 hourswithout failure. As a result, you can depend on 305P MkII monitors to deliver consistently excellent sound reproduction for years to come.
