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, there's always a handful of features or
improvements that the engineering team can't 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 result - a 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
70 YEARS OF EXPERTISE
The design of the 305P MkII leverages over 70 years of JBL acoustic
expertise to create a refined studio monitor at an outstanding value.
While other manufacturers use off-the-shelf components and make
subjective decisions about the sound, JBL builds speakers that squeeze
every ounce of performance from each component to deliver efficient,
accurate sound reproduction.
305P MkII is designed to JBL's Linear Spatial Reference criteria - a
series of 72 individual measurements taken 360 degrees around the
speaker to ensure a faithful reproduction of your mix, whatever your
listening environment.
JBL PROFESSIONAL RELIABILITY
JBL 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 JBL's strenuous Power
Test.
Each model is required to perform flawlessly at maximum volume for an
unheard-of 100 hours - without failure. As a result, you can depend on
305P MkII monitors to deliver consistently excellent sound reproduction
for years to come.
