JBL 7 Series

Next-Generation Reference Monitors Offer Unparalleled Sound and Versatility

 The JBL 7 Series provides a powerful and flexible monitoring solution for music, post and broadcast production. Now available in four models—the install 705i and 708i and the powered 705P and 708P—these monitors deliver exceptional output, stunning detail, an expansive soundstage and impressive accuracy. 7 Series speakers achieve this outstanding performance by leveraging patent-pending driver technologies and the renowned JBL Image Control Waveguide. All models integrate with the Intonato 24 Monitor Management Tuning System, which provides intuitive remote control and calibration. 7 Series monitors are equally at home in stereo, surround, and immersive-audio production rooms.

IMPRESSIVE DETAIL AND A BIGGER SWEET SPOT
A patent-pending JBL Image Control Waveguide brings exceptional clarity and detail to all 7 Series models. First introduced in our flagship M2 Master Reference Monitor, the waveguide ensures an acoustically seamless transition between the low- and high-frequency transducers, and provides a wide soundstage and precise imaging. Smooth on- and off-axis frequency response allows the JBL 7 Series to deliver neutral reproduction across an expansive listening area in a broad range of rooms.

• A seamless crossover and uncolored response in the critical dialog range
• Neutral off-axis response for greater accuracy and room-to-room consistency
• Detailed imaging and a coherent transition between screen channels, surrounds and overhead speakers

CUSTOM DESIGNED FOR GREATER ACCURACY AND OUTPUT
7 Series monitors leverage JBL patents and our latest driver technologies to provide unparalleled output with greater dynamic range and extended frequency response in demanding production applications. Custom low-frequency transducers utilize patented JBL Differential Drive technology to reduce power compression for more sustained output and extended linear low-frequency performance. Our low-frequency port design works in concert with the low-frequency transducer to produce an accurate bass response at all playback levels.

• Custom 5” and 8” low-frequency drivers featuring the latest JBL technology
• Drivers produce two to three times the output of standard studio monitors
• Extended dynamic range and frequency response

DOME TWEETERS CAN’T COMPETE
Each 7 Series monitor is equipped with a proprietary JBL 2409H high-frequency compression driver, which features an innovative low-mass annular diaphragm. This driver delivers extraordinary output, a wide dynamic range and very low distortion even at high SPLs. Competitive monitors utilize radiating dome tweeters, rather than compression drivers, that require amplifier limiter circuitry to prevent failure at higher SPLs which also negatively affects the speaker’s stereo imaging and dynamic range. 7 Series innovative compression design does not need limiting circuitry and is capable of reproducing frequencies with a smooth response beyond 36 kHz.

• Compression design produces high SPL
• Low-mass Annular polymer diaphragm results in low sub-harmonic distortion
• Extended dynamic range and frequency response
• Smooth high frequency response beyond 36 kHz

MULTIPLE MOUNTING OPTIONS
JBL 7 Series monitors provide construction and mounting features that make installation simple. Constructed from rugged birch plywood, the cabinets are specially braced and reinforced to allow safe mounting. Top and bottom mounting points in a two-hole mounting pattern facilitate effortless wall and ceiling installations using readily available brackets. Both vertical and horizontal orientations are supported. Integrated handles aid in speaker positioning.

• Compact enclosures minimize interference with sight lines to video monitors
• Front-ported enclosures allow shelf and soft mounting without degradation in performance
• Rear and bottom mounting points allow wall and ceiling mounting in either vertical or horizontal orientation using standard hardware

PRISTINE SONICS WITH FLEXIBLE AMPLIFICATION OPTIONS
The 705i (5-inch) and 708i (8-inch) install monitors bring next-generation technology to multichannel monitoring setups in post rooms, broadcast facilities and trucks. Delivering detailed imaging, extended frequency response and remarkable output from compact enclosures, they’re centrally amplified and tuned, and easily installed. 7 Series install monitors form the heart of an elegant, scalable system for broadcast and post facilities working in immersive audio formats.

• Power with a single amplifier channel or bi-amplify
• Easily integrate into multi-channel systems featuring centralized amplification, and BSS BLU link Networked Audio
• Balanced analog inputs with "Phoenix" type connectors
• Next-generation JBL driver technology for greater dynamic range and superior frequency response

BI-AMPLIFIED POWER WITH BUILT-IN DSP
The 705P (5-inch) and 708P (8-inch) are self-powered reference monitors built with the modern control room in mind. A compact two-way design minimizes interference with video displays and sight lines while providing output comparable to larger speakers. The powered 7 Series monitors feature built-in DSP allowing for integrated EQ and delay controls. You also get an AES/EBU digital input, and an RJ-45 network connection for HARMAN HiQnet connectivity.

• Integrated dual (250W/250W) amplification system with internal floating-point DSP
• Comprehensive room EQ and delay controls
• Unparalleled output and detail at greater listening distances
• Next-generation JBL driver technology and patent-pending JBL Image Control Waveguide

CUSTOMIZED, COHESIVE MULTI-CHANNEL SETUPS
7 Series monitors are designed to easily integrate with the JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor to create a modular and scalable system that can be custom configured for the number of channels and the room size. Compact enclosures and integrated mounting points allow versatile mounting options and unobstructed sight lines. The 7 Series, in conjunction with the JBL M2, offers ultimate flexibility for configuring a system that perfectly fits the needs of any facility.

EASY AND POWERFUL REMOTE MONITOR MANAGEMENT
The JBL Intonato 24 Studio Monitor Management Tuning System is a perfect complement to any 7 Series-based monitoring system. It simplifies setup while offering precise automated calibration and complete control of monitors in stereo, surround and immersive-audio-production rooms. Intonato 24 includes a calibration microphone and innovative Automated Speaker Calibration process that “tunes” each speaker to compensate for speaker placement and room acoustics, delivering a neutral response to the mix position—even in less-than-ideal workspaces.

• Automated speaker calibration for monitoring accuracy
• Immersive ready: the most I/O in its class and compatible with nearly every monitoring format
• Sophisticated subwoofer integration allows multiple subwoofers to be connected, tuned, balanced and integrated
• Intuitive graphical user interface lets you control Intonato 24 from Mac, Windows and iOS and Android tablets
