JBL Professional 306P MKII 6″ 2 Way Powered Studio Reference Monito

Why MkII?Since their release, word has spread on the quality and value found in the original JBL 3 Series, resulting in wide adoption from hobbyists to high-end professionals working in music, film, post, and broadcast production worldwide. With such an obvious hit, you might ask, “Why update now?” On every project at JBL, there’s always a handful of features or improvements that the engineering team can’t squeeze in before going to production. 3 Series was no different. When the opportunity presented itself, we decided to make those final improvements to the transducers, add a frequently-requested feature, and apply the latest manufacturing learnings. | Patented Image Control WaveguideReveal impressive detail, ambience and depth in your mixes thanks to the groundbreaking JBL Image Control Waveguide. Originally developed for JBL’s flagship M2 Master Reference Monitor, this patented innovation ensures an acoustically seamless transition between the low- and high-frequency transducers and provides an immersive soundstage with precise imaging. Offering a broad sweet spot and neutral frequency response, JBL 306P MkII delivers a crystal-clear representation of your mix—revealing subtle details, even when listening off-axis. | Your Mix is Only as Good as Your MonitorsTo help you make the best mix decisions, JBL equipped the 306P MkII with acclaimed 3 Series transducers that now perform even better. Hear deep, accurate and tightly controlled bass thanks to a long-throw 6.5″ woofer and the patented JBL Slip Stream low-frequency port. Enjoy soaring, immaculately detailed highs via the woven-composite 1″ Neodymium tweeter. JBL engineers took things to the next level with faster HF transient response through fine-tuned ferrofluid damping, and greater low frequency linearity and lower harmonic distortion courtesy of an enhanced woofer design. |

Big Sound Out of the BoxJBL 306P MkII is ready for the most demanding production styles right out of the box. Dual integrated Class D power amplifiers, custom designed by JBL for each transducer, give you generous dynamic range for any project. From music production and podcasting to cinematic sound design or daily vlogging, enjoy the output and power you need to hear exceptional detail at any volume—even at peak SPLs. Simply plug in, power on, and start creating. | Tailored Sound to Fit Your StudioThe dimensions and acoustics of a room can have a major effect on sonic accuracy, and that’s why JBL 306P MkII lets you adjust the response to fit your studio. The new Boundary EQ attenuates the low-end boost that can occur when you place monitors directly on the desktop or near walls. The 3-position HF Trim switch allows you to adjust the high-frequency response of the 306P MkII to tailor it to room acoustics or personal tastes. | Flexible ConnectivityOffering both balanced XLR and 1/4″ TRS inputs, and adjustable +4dBu/-10dBV input sensitivity, the 306P MkII offers flexible, professional connectivity options to provide easy setup while maintaining your signal integrity. |

The Name Says It All!
Love the quality sound this monitor produces. Rich heart pounding bass as well as crisp clean highs.
I actually didn’t expect anything less from JBL. Their products are #1 in my book
Suonano bene
Dopo aver fatto uno studio sui vari siti specializzati, ho concluso che sono quelle con il miglior rapporto qualit/prezzo. Suonano benissimo e senza alterare il suono, ideali per chi fa produzioni domestiche e da studio. Suoni non impastati e correttamente bilanciate. Assolutamente consigliate.
I was wanting to buy some klipsch speakers for my office. I went with JBL due to cost difference and based on positive reviews. I don’t regret going with these and I think I may like these more than the klipsch because have some good punchy bass

Unglaublicher Sound für den Preis
Ich habe schon mehrere Aktiv Monitore miteinander verglichen, darunter KRK Rokit 5, Adam Audio, sogar Yamaha HS80. Leider haben sie mir alle nicht so richtig gefallen, zwar von der Qualitt schon, aber der Sound war nicht so meins. Die JBL wiederum klingen einfach groartig und der Preis ist einfach unschlagbar. Aber hrt am besten vorher probe, die Geschmcker scheinen da sehr unterschiedlich zu sein.
Einziger Haken: es gibt ein deutlich vernehmbares Grundrauschen. Damit muss man in der Preisklasse leben knnen ..
Amazing speakers for my pc!! Got these and was happy with the bass but I wanted more so got the LSR10s subwoofer and they're amazing. Running them off a Fiio K3 DAC/AMP and also bought some speaker isolation pads to put underneath them and they tightened up the bass so nice. Really high quality product. Turned my room into a nightclub with some wall sound panels too haha

Really like the fact that they have dual inputs. One is TRS and the other is balanced XLR. So I’ve hooked up my keyboard to the TRS and the XLR is hooked up to the audio recording device. Works perfectly.

I am going to use them for my studio when I complete it.i am just listening to music for now.i recommend a 10" or single 12" if you want some thump. Very happy with them though.

Well packaged and easy to set up. For the price they can’t be beat.

Great sound, great value, only let down a LITTLE by looks, accessories and service
This sounds VERY nice. Crisp, clean, balanced, and not ridiculously over-bassed like some speakers. Recommended.
There are some issues.
First, the volume control is firmly notched — it wants to be set at one discrete volume or another. So you can’t do a very linear/analogue positioning to a volume level in-between 5 and 6 (or 5.5 and 6, or whatever it is).
They look… just OK. Very basic studio monitor look, with no frills. Fine for a studio, but not so great if you want to put them in the living room. That said, they don’t look as plasticy — or rather, the plasticyness doesn’t stand out so much in a room — as they do in some photos.
It came with EU wall plugs on the cable, so you’ll want to buy an IEC cable with a UK plug, or just a plug if you’re up for re-wiring the cable, or an adapter if your studio is a mess of wires anyway 😉
Lastly, the pair I ordered were very poorly packed and arrived in an open box. Thanks, Amazon.
Very solid entry level monitors
Bought these for my home working setup. I’ve got them hooked up to a schiit magni/modi stack as my dac and preamp, and put them on inexpensive desktop speaker stands.
They sound fantastic for the price point. Pretty good bass, nice and clear mids and sparkly top end. They aren’t nearly on the level of my proac speakers, but they cost literally 1/5 the price!
If you are a beginner producer or recoding artist, they would do the trick for a while. I wouldn’t call these producers’ speakers to be totally honest – they are just very nice sounding speakers for a very reasonable price point.
Quite large – expect them to take up a lot of desk space!
These are very accurate monitors for the price point. I had an older pair from a different manufacturer and didn't realize what I was missing until I heard these. My kids pitched in and got me one speaker. They are not musicians or sound engineers so they did their best based on their research and financial resources. I am glad they did. After hearing what one sounded like, I had to get the other. Amazon's monthly no- interest payment option made it possible so thanks for that. My confidence in my mixes, even in my less- than- ideal recording and mixing space, is greater as a result. I highly recommend these monitors if your budget lives in this price range. You will not be disappointed.

Love the sound... and love the customer service even more!
I originally received two of these and they were… less than ideal. None of the factory packaging included, missing items like the foot pads for the bottom of the cabinets. One speaker had the center tweeter entirely missing. The other crackled even at low volumes. Kept my cool, requested a replacement for both. Both were already on the way before I was done repackaging the bad ones I’d been sent. Very happy with the customer service!
New ones arrived a few days later, this time with the expected packaging, necessary items, and high quality. Fantastic sound all around, even with high-quality recordings. Love these speakers, customer service was top notch. Thank you!
In the process of rebuilding my studio, I've tried a handful of different studio speakers. Ranging from top of the line to budget. There is NO doubt in my mind these produce the best sound for studio monitors. The are a little bit heavy and the size is a little bigger than I wanted, but, I can forget about the minor details I wasn't happy about because the sound is so good you'll want no other speakers than these. BUY THESE!!

I’m not a music producer. I was looking for a way to play my guitar through my computer and not blow the neighbors roof off every time I flipped on the amp. So I did a lot of research into a “budget” set of monitors. It was between these and some Yamaha’s that were a bit more expensive.
When I finally got my setup together and plugged in my guitar. I was blown away by the sound these were making. These are almost too much for the room I’m in but you can still turn them down and it still reproduce some nice tones (to my old ears anyways).
I use these to listen to music as well. And they sound quite good even without a subwoofer. Though I mainly listen to rock, blues, jazz. I’ve had them for about 3 months and put them through their paces and so far they’ve been holding up nicely. I’d definitely recommend these for those on a budget and still want quality sound reproduction.
Absolutely love them! Incredibly clear noise and pleasing to look at. Would highly recco.

muy buena adquisición...
Excelentes para un home studio y algo ms!!
Excelente sonido!
En un espacio pequeo no se logran explotar bien sus cualidades!!
La nica desventaja es que tienen el interruptor de encendido en la parte de atrs (no muy de mi agrado).
Muy buena compra, espero sean duraderos!!
Bought these as a gift for my boyfriend and so far so good! Will update review if anything changes

En general la entrega a tiempo y el producto tal como se esperaba en Calidad
Excelente Por su precio
Hasta el momento super contento con estos monitores, no he escuchado ningn hiss como comentan. He realizado algunas mezclas y se escuchan perfectamente bien todos los rangos de frecuencia a pesar de estar usando una interface Stidio24c de presonus que no es una linea profesional se logran resultados muy buenos, es cosa de acostumbrar el oido. Esstoy ansioso por probarlos con la ueva interface que debe llegarme pronto que y es de un nivel muy muy superior a la presonus para ver la diferencia en la conversion DA y escuchar que tanto detalle realmente arrojan estos monitores con un equipo de alta gama
The JBL 306P work perfectly for me. They are accurate, have plenty of low-end so I don't need a sub-woofer and they pack enough punch to cover pretty much any genre. I also like that they are VERY quiet when idling and they start quietly at power-up too, no thump noises at all. I had a few questions to JBL support, and they got back to me super fast and the guys knew their stuff ! I couldn't be happier with these.

This speaker is awesome 10/10 would recommend. I bought this speaker as a gift to my partner, who is a DJ and needed a small speaker for when he is mixing. We only returned the product to get a smaller size speaker.

powerful and clea
love them. bought for Korg Kronos. Powerful, clean crisp sound. Serious lower end. Cant fault them.
Like most people say, your paying for the internal works, not appearance, although I like them too,
Great Buy Highly recommend
Deben de comprarlo
Excelente monitor, lo amo. Bajos profundos sin exagerar y buena acstica
I use them to mix out of my audio interface. Put them up on stands and I am very happy with them.

Excelente calidad
A pesar de la situacin de la pandemia llegaron a tiempo y en forma, su calidad de sonido es indudable, los utilizo para producir y de verdad no he tenido ninguna queja, estticamente no dejan nada a desear, y bueno el respaldo que es una marca con muchos aos en esto, pues es un hecho
Sound great. Upgraded from the krk v4. Not too stoked on the hiss but it’s part of the class D amplifier. I might look for something else. But returning these is a pain I’m not looking forward to.
Should improve crystal sound.
I was expecting more crystal sound quality.
Besides that they are good
Perfect! Sound great! Ordered 1 and was so happy with results that i ordered another one. Awesome purchase!

I really like these! I should have gotten the smaller version, but with some room treatment, my little home studio sounds true.

A must have for any audiophile or Home studio
The sound quality is amazing.
These are the best monitors for the price point. It’s JBL quality, so that statement should be enough for any audiophile, who knows what to expect from them. For those using them for their home studio, yes there are more expensive ones out there. However I have yet to find a speaker in this price point that can even match these.
Love these and the open box price of $99/ speaker for a 6″ studio monitors was a steal for these! I use these for playing guitar through an amp simulator Bias FX and also playing music off of my iPad Pro.
I’m no pro engineer or audiophile, but I’ve been listening to music for 45 years and they sound great to me. A lot better than the JBL 104s that I have. The 6″ woofer gives me a fuller sound with more bass. Pretty loud as well. I usually have the volume knob on the back at “5” or “6” and thats plenty loud.
Finally listened to my audio engineer friends/coworkers and got a reference speaker. The mids & highs are very crisp. I had to play around with the location to optimize the low end.

The speakers make a consistent fuzzy noise that I have yet to get rid of. It not a steady humm. Its a fuzzy distortion that you can only year when the amps are not in use. example a quiet part of a movie. Kind of annoying hopefully I can figure it out soon.

Good loud speaker for its price but bass is not enough
Likes:
Nice design
Amplifier includes with 2 balanced wire inputs
Sound decent
Dislikes:
No bluetooth input
No output
less bass than expected (use in my small room)
Bass is not as deep as I hope fo
For all those audiophiles who need some super expensive monitors keep shopping, these are not expensive enough to put on display your gravitas about sound. There are plenty of more expensive models ready to take your money. And those expensive speakers are different. But not in any meaningful way for 99.99% of the world. When you get around to actually making good music, you will have to admit the monitors didn’t play much of role in that. If you think if only i had better monitors to hear my mix, I could create a track that was much better than the mud I am making now… well it might just be you suck. And if you want these to just listen to music, then just remember it is your brain that decides whether the experience was good. If you think a song wasn’t good enough when heard with these monitors because the upper mids popped just a little too much, then fix your perception. For $240 a pair these monitors are really very acceptable
Amazon keeps losing my review so short and sweet. Great speakers for a reasonable price. Used for reference speaks for home recording mix down. Love them and my other two sets of JBL's.

I use my pair of 306P MkII's for everything, including audio production. I connect them using unbalanced cables and they still sound great. Great response on the entire spectrum of frequencies. Also good at any volume level. I would recommend them to anyone!

These have great stereo imaging and clarity for low price monitors. The bass response was perfect for my small room with little acoustic correction. I highly recommend! Fast shipping and great packaging.

Funcionan como esperado, estoy muy contento mezclando msica y jugando videojuegos
I in love and hate with this speakers. I don't think I've owned such realistic and truthfully sounding speakers before, especially at such low price. I'd say this is perhaps the best deal I've ever seen for a pair of speakers. It's madness. I recommend those. Great quality and value for a price.

I'm glad I didn't get the 8" speakers. I use this to spin tech house. These monitors have plenty of uhmmph. I don't even need a subwoofer for my room or else my neighbors will want to kill me. Great price!

I’m using these for computer speakers and am very impressed with the sound. They hit $260 for the pair and I grabbed them. Neutral monitor performance so feed them quality signal and they will pass it on to you. Test them with a good quality jazz recording to hear how good of a soundstage they can create. In box soundcards can mess up a clean signal so I bought a USB D/A converter (Behringer UCA202) with 1/4″ outs to feed to the speakers. Have them in plane with the monitor and five feet apart. Monitor is a 32″ 4k so I can sit back at 3-4 feet and enjoy streamed movies. They can’t be expected to handle the work of a subwoofer of course but for most movies deep low end isn’t needed anyway.
Great sound!!! High quality sound from a company that knows how to make studio monitors! Highly recommended!

Excellent stereo detail, a very clear crisp top end. Because my placement is far enough from walls, the bass effect doesn't apply so I don't use the bass cut feature. In fact the initial mixes tended to have more bass because these monitors are slightly weak on the bottom end so +2 dB bass boost, neutral, and -2 dB cut positions would be better. But these ARE 6" near-fields that are great secondary monitors to my Mackie system w/ a subwoofer. Great quality you'd expect from JBL at a reasonable price!

This might be the best value out there for studio monitors when measuring the price/performance ratio.
Sound is great! You will love them.

I purchased these to replace some Event TR8 speakers that just gave up after a decade+. I researched and found these to be be a good match. The speakers themselves are lighter and have a good response range that do not required over extended EQ. The TR*s actually became very muddy. The major difference is the cabinet themselves. The older speakers were made of wood and had a real solid feel to them. The JBLs are not as solid but sound great. I feel I made a great choice with the replacements.

Easily scratched on the shiny part of plastic on the front even when dusting with a micro fibre cloth… amazing sound though.
