How our reviews work

  • A few days after your order ships we'll email you a link to leave a review. When your feedback is published it will carry a Customer verified badge, so others know it came from a real order with us.
  • We only ever edit a review to remove profanity, spam, or personal details - otherwise it's published exactly as written, good or bad. We won’t ever remove or edit critical ones.
  • You don't need to have bought a product from us to review it - if you know the product, we want you to let other shoppers know what you honestly think, using the form on the product page. These are moderated in the same way, but won't carry our Customer verified badge.

JBL 305P MkIII 5-inch powered studio monitor

This studio monitor is two-way powered designed for music production, recording, and mixing. As the most compact model in the 3 Series MkIII range, it combines a redesigned acoustic system with Class-D amplification.

Featuring a new high-frequency driver, an improved JBL Image Control Waveguide and a redesigned 5" low-frequency driver, the MKIII delivers precise stereo imaging and controlled bass response. Its built-in room EQ and flexible mounting options also make it easier to adapt to different studio environments.

Redesigned acoustic system

The MkIII features a redesigned high-frequency driver and JBL Image Control Waveguide, helping to produce a wide, consistent listening area with precise stereo imaging. This provides a larger useful listening area beyond a single fixed position.

The redesigned 5-inch woofer features stiffer cone materials, a new 20oz magnet assembly and an aluminium shorting ring to improve power handling and reduce distortion. The bass extends down to 45Hz, while the front-firing JBL Slipstream port helps maintain more predictable low-frequency response when the monitor is positioned close to walls or on a desk. Meaning this can be positioned anywhere it needs to be within the space.

Room EQ and connectivity

Four one-touch controls provide 81 corrective EQ combinations, allowing you to adjust the monitor's response to compensate for placement, distance from walls and high- or low-frequency characteristics. These adjustments make it easier to optimise the sound for your room without complicated dip switches or additional calibration software.

The MkIII uses an 86W bi-amplified Class-D amplifier, providing 43W for the low-frequency driver and 43W for the high-frequency driver. A balanced Neutrik combination input accepts XLR and TRS connections, with selectable +4dBu/-10dBV input sensitivity for compatibility with common studio equipment.

Flexible mounting options

Eight integrated M4 mounting points in a 75mm x 75mm pattern provide flexibility when positioning the monitor. It can be used on a desktop or mounted in elevated, inverted and other configurations, making it suitable for a range of studio layouts.

The 305P MkIII can also form part of a larger monitoring system, with the option to add the JBL 310S MkIII subwoofer for 2.1 monitoring or incorporate the monitor into surround and immersive configurations.
