description JBL 305BT Overview
While often marketed for portability, the 305BT offers a surprisingly capable monitoring experience for its size and price. It is an excellent secondary or travel monitor, providing a solid, punchy sound that is great for checking mixes on the go or in non-ideal acoustic environments. It brings JBL's signature punch into a highly accessible format.
help JBL 305BT FAQ
Does the JBL 305BT really have Bluetooth?
The documented JBL studio-monitor models are the LSR305 and 305P MkII, and the 305P MkII uses balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs rather than Bluetooth. JBL's Bluetooth desktop model is the 104-BT, so the 305BT name should be verified before purchase. [JBL 305P MkII](https://global.jbl.com/studio-monitors/305PMKII-.html)
What are the real JBL 305P MkII specifications?
The 305P MkII is a two-way monitor with a 5-inch low-frequency driver, a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter, and 82 watts of combined Class-D amplification. JBL lists a 49 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and its Image Control Waveguide. [JBL specifications](https://global.jbl.com/studio-monitors/305PMKII-.html)
Can a JBL 305P MkII connect directly to a phone over Bluetooth?
No, the documented 305P MkII expects an analog source through balanced XLR or TRS input. A phone would need a suitable wired adapter, audio interface, or monitor controller, and Bluetooth would require a separate receiver.
Do I need two JBL 305P MkII monitors for stereo?
Yes, one 305P MkII is one powered monitor, so a stereo setup normally uses two speakers. JBL also lists the LSR310S as the matching 10-inch subwoofer for the 3 Series monitor family.
