JBL 708P JBL 7 Series 8-inch Bi-amplified Master Reference Studio Monitor
The JBL 708P is a compact yet powerful nearfield reference monitor engineered for critical mixing and mastering in home and professional studios. Its bi-amplified design and precision driver configuration deliver the accuracy needed to make confident mix decisions and catch problematic frequencies before they reach playback systems. The monitor integrates seamlessly into mid-sized control rooms and adapts to various mounting scenarios with multiple positioning options.
Recording & Mixing Accuracy
Powered by 250 watts each of Class-D amplification driving the high and low frequencies independently, the 708P achieves a maximum output of 114 dB at 1 meter with minimal distortion for transparent monitoring during tracking and overdubs. The 8-inch bass driver paired with the 2409H compression driver and 728G low-frequency driver delivers a 45 Hz to 23,000 Hz frequency range (-1.5 dB), with extended performance below 35 kHz and beyond 36 kHz—essential for catching mud, phase issues, and masking problems across the full spectrum during session work.
Studio Integration & Control
The 708P accepts both balanced XLR analog input and AES3 format digital input with pass-through capability, supporting sample rates up to 192 kHz for native high-resolution recording and mastering projects. The built-in 12-band User EQ and 8-band Room EQ provide extensive control to tailor the monitor's response to your studio's acoustics, eliminating the need for external processing and enabling faster, more accurate mix translation between rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 708P suitable for mastering work?
The 708P delivers a neutral reference character with minimal distortion, extended frequency response from 45 Hz to 23 kHz (–1.5 dB), and 114 dB maximum output at 1 meter, giving you the headroom and accuracy needed to catch issues across the full spectrum during critical listening and mix evaluation.
Can I use the 708P in an untreated or irregular room?
Yes—the built-in 12-band User EQ and 8-band Room EQ allow you to adapt the monitor's response to your specific acoustic environment without requiring external processing, making integration into existing setups straightforward.
What inputs and sample rates does it support?
The 708P accepts balanced XLR analog input and AES3 format digital input with pass-through capability, supporting sample rates up to 192 kHz for native high-resolution audio work.
How is this monitor different from the Neumann KH120A or Genelec 8040B?
All three are compact nearfield references built for professional mixing and mastering; the 708P's bi-amplified Class-D design and extensive onboard EQ tools offer a practical alternative to those models, with the specific character and room correction suited to different acoustic preferences and workflow needs.
Does it work with compact desk setups or just large control rooms?
The 708P is designed as a nearfield reference for mid-sized control rooms and sits comfortably on stands or shelves with multiple mounting options (top, bottom, and rear), making it flexible for various studio configurations.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
