Powerful and Accurate Nearfield Monitoring for Every Studio

JBL 306P MkII active studio monitors are a great nearfield solution for any serious audio engineer or music producer. They’re great for mixing music in your DAW software, editing video, or any other task that requires monitoring accuracy. JBL designed the 306P MkII with advanced features acquired from their 7 Series and M2 Master Reference Monitor, making legendary JBL performance accessible to every studio. JBL’s innovative Image Control Waveguide works in concert with refined transducers to deliver a well-defined and incredibly dimensional stereo image. Ask anyone at Sweetwater: From surprisingly rich lows to smooth highs, you’ll find it easy to produce great-sounding recordings with JBL 306P MkII studio monitors.

Incredible stereo imaging thanks to an innovative waveguide

When you can clearly hear everything in your mix, you make accurate sonic judgments — which leads to better-sounding recordings. To that end, JBL applied innovative elements from their 7 Series and M2 Master Reference Monitors to give the 306P MkII truly impressive sound reproduction capabilities. The Image Control Waveguide design is one such feature, and it helps the 306P MkII present a deep, detailed soundstage and a wide, room-friendly sweet spot.

Wide sweet spot equals a better studio experience

We’re engineers, musicians, and producers too — we know you don’t spend every second of your studio time in the ideal mixing position. JBL 306P MkII monitors have a broad sweet spot, which means there’s less variation in what you hear when you’re not in the perfect position. Especially if you have clients in the room, you want consistent sound throughout your studio, and you’ll like what you hear from the 306P MkII.

Ported design for greater accuracy at low volume levels

Checking your mix at low volume levels is a great way to confirm your overall balances, but many monitors will suffer in the bass regions when monitoring at low levels. The JBL 306P MkII uses JBL’s patented Slipstream low-frequency port for accurate bass response at low playback levels. The double-flared port shape also reduces the turbulence some ported designs suffer from, meaning that bass response remains pure when you turn the 306P MkII back up.

JBL 306P MkII Powered Studio Monitor Features:

  • Next-generation JBL transducers for optimized transient response and enhanced linearity
  • Boundary EQ settings compensate for environmentally induced low-frequency anomalies
  • Patented Image Control Waveguide for detailed imaging and a wide, room-friendly sweet spot
  • Patented Slipstream low-frequency port for superior bass performance at all playback levels
  • Integrated custom Class D amplifiers deliver 112 watts (LF: 56 watts; HF: 56 watts) of power for high output and dynamic range
  • Frequency response (±3dB): 47Hz–20kHz
  • HF Trim switch adjusts high-frequency output to accommodate room acoustics or personal preferences
  • Flexible connectivity with balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs, +4dBu/–10dBV input-sensitivity switch, and volume control
  • Engineered to JBL Linear Spatial Reference design criteria for outstanding accuracy in any acoustical environment
  • Strenuous JBL 100-hour power test ensures years of reliability
  • Shielded for safe placement near magnetically sensitive equipment
  • Sleek, modern design provides a dramatic flair to any studio
  • Compact footprint accommodates a variety of studio spaces
  • Sold individually

Keyboard Bliss - JBL style

Yamaha MOX8 needed to sing... head phones were just not getting it done. Enter a pair of JBL 306P.
- Excellent sound control
- Solid output with built in amp
- Full range output that keeps up with the MODX
Even at low volume the sound is very well rounded.
My wife and neighbors do not tolerate big sound like I do.

Perfect for my home studio.

I bought these on the recommendation of Sweetwater Engineer. I have a limited space home recording studio that needed a good set of monitors. These are exactly what I need. They have versatile output, independent power, and awesome sound. Space was important to me as I play all the instruments and have a 32-channel console. I am glad that I bought these and that I talked with Sweetwater first!

Great value and sound

I bought these to use with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 as a alternative for my Edrum kit vs. a dedicated amp and also to use with .vst plugins in my DAW for playing and recording guitar. I just say that these do sound amazing at high and low volume with the edrums or guitar and have been completely satisfied that I decided on this combination.
Rated 5/5

Fidelity at low levels

I don't record using monitors, but when I get to mixing what I've recorded I trust these will provide me a clear reference. In the service I had a roommate named Huck (nickname). Perhaps you know someone like Huck... so much life to live and it all must be done yesterday! I once told him "You're in a big hurry to go nowhere and I'm in no hurry to go anywhere." The point? When I achieve the sound I want, recording will soon follow.
