Whether for home studios, post-production work, or critical listening, the JBL 305P MKII offers studio-quality sound in a compact form factor.

Powered 5 Inch Two-Way Studio Monitor

The 5-inch woofer in the JBL 305P MKII is a critical component that adds greatly to the monitor’s excellent performance, despite its small size. This woofer is intended to provide a tight, accurate bass response, which is essential for a studio monitor in this class. Although smaller than the woofers found in larger monitors, JBL designed this 5-inch driver to offer remarkably deep and well-defined low frequencies. It strikes a decent balance between punch and clarity, allowing for accurate reproduction of bass-heavy content without losing information or adding distortion. The woofer’s small size also adds to a faster transient response, which allows it to react quickly to changes in the audio stream. This yields a more precise reproduction of complicated bass lines and kick drums, which is critical for mixing and mastering work. While it may not provide the same low-end extension as larger monitors, the 305P MKII’s 5-inch woofer delivers exceptional bass performance for its size, making it a good alternative for tiny studios or settings where room is limited.

Professional-Grade Audio in a Versatile Package

The JBL 305P MKII studio monitor combines cutting-edge audio technology with practical features to deliver professional-grade sound reproduction. Its proprietary Image Control Waveguide and next-generation transducers provide detailed imaging and a wide sweet spot, while the Slip Stream low-frequency port enhances bass performance. The studio monitor provides a high output and dynamic range. Boundary EQ settings, an HF Trim switch, and versatile connector options like balanced XLR and 1/4″ TRS inputs all contribute to adaptability. Engineered to JBL’s Linear Spatial Reference design criteria and subjected to a rigorous 100-hour full-power test, the 305P MKII promises both accuracy and reliability. Its sleek, modern design complements its technical prowess, making it an ideal choice for studios of all levels seeking professional-grade monitoring capabilities.
