Technical Manual

The JBL 705P is the self-powered reference monitor for critical music recording, lm post and broadcast
production applications. The JBL 705P leverages the same patent-pending driver technologies and JBL’s
renowned Image Control Waveguide found in the 708P and agship M2, but with a smaller footprint. Despite its
compact size, JBL 705P delivers an eye-opening level of output, well beyond that of conventional, comparably-
sized studio monitors, for greater dynamic range and greater working distances. The speakers deliver an
expansive soundstage, and pristine accuracy in a broad range of rooms.

5” Bi-Amplified Master Reference Monitor
NEXT-GENERATION DRIVER TECHNOLOGY
JBL 705P leverages next-generation JBL driver technologies
to deliver greater dynamic range and superior frequency
response. The 2409H high-frequency compression driver
incorporates an innovative low-mass annular diaphragm
to deliver smooth response beyond 36 kHz, with very low
distortion. The 725G low-frequency transducer provides
14mm peak-to-peak excursion with greater linearity, delivering
exceptional low-frequency output below 39 Hz. These
proprietary drivers allow the 705P to deliver two to three times
the output of existing studio monitors.
PATENTED IMAGE CONTROL WAVEGUIDE
First introduced in the JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor,
the JBL patent-pending, Image Control Waveguide ensures
accuracy and neutrality while providing a wide sweet spot with
increased sonic detail. By enabling an acoustically seamless
transition between the high and low frequency transducers,
the 705P delivers accurate imaging across the entire
frequency spectrum. The smooth, on- and off-axis frequency
response allows the JBL 705P to deliver neutral response
across a wide listening area in a broad range of rooms.
INTEGRATED DUAL AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM
JBL 705P features a built-in dual amplification system
that’s optimized for its high-output drivers. A 250W amp
powers the 2409H high-frequency transducer, while a
second 250W amp is dedicated to the 725G low-frequency
transducer. This combination provides exceptional output
and allows greater listening distances, making the 705P
ideal for post production and mastering environments.
COMPREHENSIVE ROOM EQ
The 705P design yields exceptional neutrality in any room,
the speaker also features on board room equalization,
so you can compensate for the adverse effects of room
acoustics and enjoy the most accurate sound reproduction
in any listening environment. In addition to eight bands of
Room EQ, twelve bands of User EQ allow for customized
response curves such as the X-Curve, and compensation for
“transmission-loss” when placed behind a perforated cinema
screen. User-enabled digital delay allows virtual alignment
of speakers relative to the listening position, while additional
AV Synchronization delay is available to compensate for
latency in video displays and align with FOH systems.
