Audio engineers, producers, and musicians looking for a high-quality monitoring solution will be impressed with the  JBL 306P MkII - Powered 6.5" Two-Way Studio Monitor, a bi-amplified reference monitor with next-generation drivers, offering high detail, precise imaging, a wide sweet spot, and a remarkable dynamic range to enhance the mix capabilities of any modern workspace. The magnetically-shielded 306P MkII features dual 56W Class-D amplifiers, which power the 6.5" low frequency woofer and woven-composite 1" neodymium tweeter. The combined output of the woofer and tweeter offer a frequency response of 47 Hz to 20 kHz with a peak SPL of 110 dB.

The monitor features JBL's Image Control Waveguide technology for accurate audio reproduction and JBL's Slip Stream port design for improved bass response. The 306P MkII is equipped with a boundary EQ for controlling the low frequency response when placed near a wall, as well as a 3-position HF trim switch. To ensure flexible connectivity, JBL included a balanced XLR input and a balanced 1/4" TRS input, both of which feature dented level control. Other features include a selectable input sensitivity switch that ensures compatibility with a range of signal sources. The JBL 306P MkII ships with a power cord.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How can I connect these speakers to my tv that has an s/pdif optical connector?

A: You will need to use a digital to analog converter to take the S/PDIF optical output from the TV and convert it to an analog signal. Connect the S/PDIF output from the TV to an S/PDIF on the converter. Then send the analog output from the converter to the inputs on the monitor controller. Next, connect the left output from the monitor controller to one speaker and the right output from the monitor controller to the second speaker. For the digital to analog converter, you can use a device like the Gefen GTV-DIGAUD-2-AAUD Stereo Digital-to-Analog Audio Converter (B&H# GECDAAA) or FiiO TAISHAN-D03K - S/PDIF Digital to Analog Converter (B&H# FID03K). The monitor controller has a 3.5mm TRS input, so you can use an RCA to 3.5mm TRS cable like the Smart-AVI 3.5mm TRS Male to Dual RCA Male Adapter Cable (B&H# SMAD35MM2RC) and then use the XLR cables to connect each speaker to the monitor controller.

Q: 2. What monitors is this compatible with?

A: This kit consists of two studio monitors, which can be used on their own for mixing in a studio or home-studio setting. It is always best to use the same model if you are mixing in surround sound. JBL LSR310S 200W Powered Subwoofer B&H # JBLSR310S is the corresponding subwoofer for this JBL series of monitors.

Q: 3. Can the amplifier be bypassed to use as passive speakers?

A: This is an active speaker, with the amplifiers built in, so it would not be used as a passive speaker. JBL LSR708i 8" Master Reference Monitor (Single), BH #JBLSR708I would be a very god quality passive reference monitor to consider.

Q: 4. Hello, do these come packaged as a pair of speakers?

A: no, each speaker is individually packaged in a separate box. the price is for one unit, not a pair of monitors.

Q: 5. Can you add a subwoofer?

A: Yes, a subwoofer such as the JBL LSR310S 200W Powered 10" Subwoofer(BH #JBLSR310S) is a great pairing for the JBL 308P MkII Powered 8" Two-Way Studio Monitors. You would feed the subwoofer from your main output signal, then feed the monitors from the subwoofer outputs. Link to LSR310S here: https://bhpho.to/3DCLlTY

Q: 6. Is there an EU power cord version available? One for use in Germany?

A: We only carry the US version.

Q: 7. Can these be placed laying on their side?

A: Yes they will operate on their sides. The waveform guide is optimal when standing upright however.

Q: 8. How long is the included power cable?

A: The included power cable for the JBL 306P MkII Powered 6.5" Two-Way Studio Monitor is approximately 6-feet long.

Q: 9. can i use only one speaker to connect to a laptop computer?

A: Yes, you can use a single speaker with a laptop computer.

Q: 10. Ok, silly question...where to I connect my red and black speaker wire from my pre-amp?

A: There is an RCA input connection on the back of each of these speakers for an unbalanced audio signal. If you have speaker cables, which carry audio as well as power, then you would require passive speakers; such as two of the Alesis Elevate 6 Passive - 6 Desktop Studio Monitor, (B&H # ALELEVATE6PA.)
