Review: JBL 306P MkII - MusicTech

Output is limited by the internal DSP. From my testing, this occurs somewhere between 96dB and 102dB at 1 meter and results in significant limiting of the output signal. If one assumes 3dB of in-room gain and 6dB from adding a second speaker, this works out to be approximately a maximum volume of 105dB at 1 meter and 93dB at 4 meters, in-room for a pair. It is therefore reasonable to assume that these are not ideal for farfield, long-term high output listening and are best relegated to nearfield or midfield use for higher output levels. If listening at moderate volumes, these make a reasonable solution in terms of output levels. While the two EQ options (low and high-frequency shelf) are nice, I do wish there were additional options for fine-tailoring the sound to a particular location a la the Kali IN-5 I recently reviewed. Though, that would also factor into the cost. JBL has a very long history making excellent products, and we know countless people who have hung onto their older LSR 3-series speakers for years with no complaints. We expect that to be the same for the follow-up model as well. Should you buy them? Soundstage is surprisingly deep (at least, with experience typically only lending itself to the concentric drivers like Kef in this regard). 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. Featuring patented technologies derived from the JBL 7 Series and M2 Master Reference Monitors and, sporting a sleek, modern design, JBL 305P MkII delivers outstanding performance and an enjoyable mix experience at an accessible price.​

I understand the concern. However, you could ask ten different people how long they think the test should be run and you'd probably get ten different answers. However, I based my method off a few things: Hmmm. I look at the measurements and see a distortion factory. Yet they 'sound great' and are recommended. If both observations are correct, what else can I conclude but 'distortion doesn't matter'.. It isn’t a huge deal as the surface is easy to clean but if you tend to move your monitors around a lot or are rough with them, expect them to look worse for wear sooner rather than later. John Mayer’s “Free Fallin” - When he says, “she’s a good girl”, the word “good” tends to jump out of the mix at you in the 1-2kHz region. I used my RTA app to watch for where this peak occurs (in the nearfield, of course). The RTA shows the peakiness between 1.6kHz to 1.8kHz which is exactly where there is a +3dB jump in the on-axis response (apparently caused from port resonance).

Acoustic measurements can be grouped in a way that can be perceptually analyzed to determine how good a speaker is and how it can be used in a room. This so called spinorama shows us just about everything we need to know about the speaker with respect to tonality and some flaws: Bass response is excellent, delivering deep yet smooth low frequencies without sounding overblown or slow. Upper bass and low mids are firm and punchy with no hint of tubbiness, integrating seamlessly with the broader treble region. In our fairly large control room, best results were achieved with the Boundary EQ Control set flat. I experimented with this control and could clearly hear how it would reduce excessive bass when used in less-than-ideal situations, if they have to be placed close to a rear wall, for example.I performed over 800 measurement which resulted in error rate of less than 1% throughout the range.
