The JBL 708P is the self-powered reference monitor for critical music recording, film post and broadcast production applications. The 708P leverages new patent-pending driver technologies and JBL’s renowned Image Control Waveguide to deliver extraordinary output, stunning detail, an expansive soundstage, and greater accuracy in a broad range of rooms. 708P delivers several times the output of other comparably-sized studio monitors, providing significantly greater dynamic range and greater working distances. JBL 708P leverages JBL patents and next-generation driver technologies to provide unparalleled output with greater dynamic range and extended frequency response in demanding production applications. The JBL 2409H highfrequency compression driver incorporates an innovative low-mass annular diaphragm to deliver smooth response beyond 36 kHz, with extraordinary output and very low distortion.

The 708P design yields exceptional neutrality in any room, the monitor also features on board room equalization, so you can compensate for the adverse effects of room acoustics and enjoy the most accurate sound reproduction in any listening environment. In addition to eight bands of Room EQ, twelve bands of User EQ allow customized response curves such as the X-Curve, and compensation for “transmission-loss” when placed behind a perforated cinema screen. User-enabled digital delay allows virtual alignment of speakers relative to the listening position, while additional AV Synchronization delay is available to compensate for latency in video displays and align with distant FOH systems.
