JBL Professional 708P 8-inch Bi-Amplified Self-Powered Master Reference Studio Monitor

he JBL 708P Master Reference Monitor is a self-powered, bi-amplified 8-inch studio monitor engineered for critical audio applications including music production, film post-production, and broadcast mastering. Leveraging patent-pending JBL driver technology, the 708P delivers exceptional dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and pinpoint imaging—perfect for professionals working in acoustically challenging environments.

At its core, the JBL 708P features a 250W dual Class-D amplifier system driving an 8" Differential Drive LF transducer and a low-mass 2409H annular diaphragm compression tweeter. The result: precise transient detail, extended frequency response (35Hz–36kHz), and maximum SPL exceeding 114 dB.

Engineered with JBL’s acclaimed Image Control Waveguide, the 708P provides a wide sweet spot and consistent off-axis response, ensuring mix translation in any room. The monitor also integrates 192kHz/32-bit DSP, 12-band Room EQ, 8-band User EQ, AV Sync Delay, and 6 user + 6 factory presets for full acoustic control.

With analog and AES3 digital inputs, networking via Harman HiQnet, and a rugged birch plywood enclosure, the JBL 708P is built for demanding studio environments where reference-grade accuracy is non-negotiable.
