New JBL Professional 7 Series Powered Master Reference Monitors

In September 2015, JBL started shipping its new 7 Series Master Reference Monitors, to meet the requirements of broadcast and post-production facilities, with a 8-inch two-way, and 5-inch 2-way model that could also be part of complete 5.1, 7.1 and immersive sound monitoring systems. Now, JBL announced the launch of a new self-powered version of those same reference studio monitors, creating a more convenient solution without compromising performance.

So, you are one of the lucky few with a pair of JBL M2 Master Reference Monitors? And maybe you are thinking, “How can I make these even more badass?” Harman engineers already have the solution. Introduced at NAMM 2016, the new JBL SUB18 Studio Subwoofer is JBL’s most powerful studio subwoofer ever and ideal for professionals in the music production and film post communities.

JBL expanded its architectural home speaker lines for the custom home-audio installation market at the 2015 CEDIA Expo. The new JBL Studio 2 and Arena Series in-wall and in-ceiling speakers expand the existing models in the line with a completely new design and feature the same waveguide technology from JBL’s M2 Master Reference Monitor.

JBL Professional’s new 7 Series Master Reference Monitors have been developed to meet the requirements of Post Production and Broadcast Control Rooms. Originally introduced at the AES 2014 Convention in Los Angeles, in 2014, the new 708i 8-inch two-way, and 705i 5-inch 2-way are part of complete 5.1, 7.1 and immersive sound monitoring systems.
