JBL C2PS Control 2P Stereo Speakers - Pair
Description
JBL C2PS Control 2P Stereo Speakers — Pair
The JBL C2PS delivers studio-grade monitoring in a compact, desktop-friendly footprint. These powered speakers combine accurate transducers with responsive controls, making them ideal for home recording, mixing, and mastering work. The included snap-on pedestals optimize listening angle immediately out of the box, allowing fast setup and reliable stereo imaging for critical listening sessions.
Recording & Mixing Performance
A 35-watt amplifier and high-sensitivity drivers produce 115 dB maximum SPL per pair, delivering clean, punchy output suitable for tracking, overdubs, and mix referencing in mid-sized rooms. The 80 Hz–20 kHz frequency range with 4.2 kHz crossover ensures balanced translation across the spectrum, while dual balanced XLR/¼" TRS and unbalanced RCA inputs let you integrate these monitors seamlessly into your audio interface setup, mixing console, or patch bay without adapters or impedance concerns.
Studio Workflow & Protection
Magnetically shielded transducers allow safe placement near computer monitors, audio gear, and sensitive studio equipment without RF interference or hum. Side-mounted ergonomic controls include volume adjustment and a high-frequency contour knob to dial in the exact tonal balance for your room and mixing preference. An internal peak limiter and overload protection circuit guard against damage from sustained over-driving during intense production sessions, while the included 3.5 mm headphone jack enables private cueing and reference listening without powering down the main monitors.
