Frequently asked questions
Can I use either of these monitors in a home studio setup?
The 708P is purpose-built for studio reference and mixing work with professional-grade accuracy and room EQ tools. The PRX ONE is designed as a PA reinforcement speaker for live venues and events, not for critical mixing or mastering.
Which one is better for live performance?
The PRX ONE is engineered for live sound with 130 dB SPL, wide coverage, an onboard mixer, and portable column design. The 708P is a stationary nearfield monitor unsuitable for live performance applications.
What are the key differences in frequency response and driver configuration?
The 708P uses an 8-inch bass driver with compression tweeter drivers for flat studio reference (45 Hz–23 kHz at -1.5 dB). The PRX ONE uses a 12-inch bass-reflex woofer with a 12-tweeter column array for wide-coverage PA sound (40–20 kHz at -3 dB, 35 Hz low-end extension).
Which has more mixing and connectivity flexibility?
The PRX ONE includes an integrated 7-channel digital mixer, Bluetooth, combo jacks, Hi-Z inputs, and a 1/8-inch jack for all-in-one operation. The 708P has XLR and AES3 digital inputs only, designed to connect to an external mixing console or audio interface in a studio environment.
