About the JBL 705P 5-Inch 2-Way Master Reference Monitor
The JBL 705P is a premium 5-inch two-way powered studio monitor from the JBL Master Reference Monitor series, designed for critical listening, mixing, and mastering in professional recording studios, post-production suites, and broadcast facilities. This bi-amplified monitor features a 5-inch (127mm) low-frequency transducer and a 1-inch (25mm) high-frequency transducer, each driven by its own dedicated internal amplifier—125 watts for the woofer and 125 watts for the tweeter. It incorporates JBL's patented Image Control Waveguide and Differential Drive technology, which work in concert to deliver exceptionally accurate sound reproduction with precise imaging, wide sweet spot, and minimal distortion. The monitor is designed to reveal the absolute truth of the source material, enabling engineers to make confident, reliable decisions.
The 705P includes sophisticated onboard DSP for precise calibration and room integration. Using the included control app, users can perform detailed room equalization, adjust boundary compensation, set delay for time alignment, and manage other system parameters to optimize performance for their specific acoustic environment. Connectivity is comprehensive, featuring balanced XLR and TRS analog inputs as well as digital AES/EBU and USB inputs, providing maximum flexibility for connection to various audio interfaces and workstations. The monitor's compact size belies its powerful, full-range output and deep bass extension, making it an ideal choice for near-field monitoring in spaces where larger monitors are impractical.
For audio professionals demanding reference-grade accuracy in a compact format, the JBL 705P represents a state-of-the-art monitoring solution. It combines cutting-edge transducer technology, powerful bi-amplification, and advanced user-configurable DSP to deliver a transparent, detailed, and authoritative sound that faithfully translates mixes across all playback systems.
