In this video, I give a JBL 305p MKII Long term Review. I have had the JBL 305p MKII Studio Monitors for over 2 years now; I believe they are the best studio monitors you can buy for the price as they are great quality monitors and have lasted for so long. They are fantastic for any studio setup and deserve some praise.
In this video, I go through cables, setup, how they work with all the options available, some notes on using them and buying them, a guide on connecting the monitors and I discuss my own experience with the JBL 305p monitors.

The next-generation JBL 305P MkII powered studio monitor makes legendary JBL performance available to every studio. With the revolutionary JBL Image Control Waveguide and refined transducers, JBL 305P MkII offers stunning detail, precise imaging, a wide sweet spot and impressive dynamic range that enhances the critical listening capabilities of any modern workspace.

Fun fact. JBL were the speakers of choice at abbey road studios for the beattles in the 60s. James B Lansing (JBL) was basically the godfather of modern loudspeaker. If you don't remember, maxcell had a commercial of a guy sitting in a chair in front of a pair of speakers being blown away. If you have ever seen jackass, Ryan Dunn was dressed as the same maxcell guy sitting behind a jet liner, and gets blown away. Well, those speakers in the maxcell commercial are JBL. And actually are a icon in the audiophile world. Know as the "rockers" speaker of the 70s, which you can still buy btw. But yeah, JBL is legendary. And for the price, it's a no brainer.

I just got them and connected to a Nord Stage 3. I'm satisfied overall, yet if I crank up the volume a bit (I keep their volume at about 7-8, and the keyboard's to 3/4) I hear some distortion/vibration even when playing just a piano. Does this happen to you too? Cheers

Good review. I just bought these with the subwoofer because it was about half the price of the Yamaha HS8s bundle. I'm using them for home studio writing/recording.

@@MusicWizard85 I've had a few suggestions for upgrades, the presonus E8 speakers are my next pick. I'm thinking of getting the sub next, it's pretty expensive as it comes around $750au

I use the 306P MKII with a X1622 USB Behringer Mixer. For me that system works perfect together in case of the Mixers EQ. :-)

turning the speakers on after everything else, i.e (laptop/audio interface, etc) is a nice touch/good advice for those of us who are prone to heart attacks lol so tnx

@matthewbolduc2714 Ай бұрын

That very loud rude popping sound has to be avoided. Knowing the right order in which to turn on and turn off the components of this speaker system is very important in order to avoid this dangerous and expensive sounding occurrence. You should be careful to turn on/off the system properly to avoid the abrupt loud popping.

Can I use these speakers for Karaeoke? I have a mixer but no amps or receivers and those massive powered 300+ watts speakers from costco are too big for me so Im hoping these would be ok for Kareoke connected to a mixer

The speaker pop your talking about, doesn’t all or most studio monitors do that, how do you know it’s not your audio interface poping when turning on

That vinyl issue is not ideal but if it gets worse then you could always either re-wrap them with 3M car wrap yourself or get them done professionally.

Rear settings may be off. I have them as well and they sound fantastic. Flat=exactly as it was made without enhancing. If the music is mixed right you don't need enhances. Big diff is set to -10 and not +4.

I need to use them horizontally, JBL says no to this? A real deal breaker if I can't. Never heard a bad review on these for the last 4 years. Your noise (buzz) is probably coming from TR cables. Switch to a TRS audio cable and then try turning off the negative level setting, and run lower volumes on your computer and speaker amps.

@insantiago798 Жыл бұрын

How many ohms?

@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene Жыл бұрын

Ohms (resistance) is not a specification needed since the amplifier is built into the speaker. The OHM specification is for in-between the amp and the speaker, which the manufacturer has already supplied the perfect match, and you can't change it if you wanted to. OHM consideration is only necessary if you are setting up an amp separate from the speaker, needing a passive speaker. The JBLs are an active speaker.
