JBL Professional 705P

No, the 'P' in JBL 705P stands for Powered, meaning these studio monitors feature built-in amplifiers and do not require an external amp. Each unit contains sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processing) that manages the internal amplifiers perfectly matched to the drivers. You can plug your audio interface directly into the monitor via XLR.

Despite only having a five-inch woofer, the JBL Professional 705P boasts an impressive frequency response that reaches down to 43Hz. This deep bass performance is achieved using JBL's patented Image Control Waveguide and advanced port tuning. It allows mixing engineers to hear low-end frequencies accurately without needing a dedicated subwoofer for most tasks.

The primary difference is the woofer size; the 705P features a 5-inch woofer, while the 708P features a larger 8-inch woofer for extended low-frequency output and volume. The 708P is designed for larger rooms where higher sound pressure levels are needed. The 705P is ideal for smaller mixing environments and near-field listening.

Yes, the JBL 705P is equipped with an integrated network port that supports HiQnet Audio Architect and digital audio networking. This allows studios to route digital audio directly to the monitors and control their EQ settings via a computer software interface. It eliminates the need for bulky analog cables in professional mixing environments.
