JBL C29AV-WH-1 8" 2-Way Premium Monitor Speaker, White
The C29AV-WH-1 is a compact yet powerful two-way reference monitor engineered for professional recording studios, broadcast facilities, and tracking rooms. Its rotatable InvisiBall mounting system with 41° horizontal and 36° vertical rotation allows precise aiming and flexible placement within the mix position, while the white finish blends seamlessly into studio environments. This is a workhorse nearfield monitor built to deliver consistent clarity across mid to high frequencies for accurate mixing and monitoring decisions.
Audio Performance for Recording & Mixing
The combination of an 8" Kevlar-cone woofer and 1" titanium-diaphragm compression driver produces a frequency response from 43 Hz to 15 kHz with 92 dB sensitivity at 150W pink noise. The wide 110° x 85° HF coverage with a rotatable horn ensures even sound distribution throughout the control room, while the 300W continuous program power capacity handles demanding sessions, overdubs, and playback levels without strain or distortion.
Design & Build Quality for Studio Use
Construction prioritizes durability and acoustic precision: the Kevlar woofer surround uses pure butyl rubber with a rear-loaded basket for extended cone life and consistent imaging, while the compression driver features a pure titanium diaphragm for reliability and fast transient response. The grille is a thermoset composite coated with foam, and all speaker terminals are nickel/zinc rust-resistant. Moderate magnetic shielding keeps the speaker usable approximately 9" away from video monitors and studio equipment, and built-in SonicGuard circuitry protects against overload conditions during high-SPL recording and mastering work.
