JBL 308P MKII 8-inch 2-way monitors - first impressions

[maxxevv]

I meant the gain switches, not the volume control. Those gain switches make a huge difference to how the speakers sound in my room. I own the 306P, which has identical controls at the back as far as I know.

In the pict attached, its the positions of the "Input Sensitivity", "Boundary Eq"and "HF Trim".

Are they identical ??

You are correct, they have the same controls. I kept both speakers in the same configuration. Boundary eq at 0dB, HF trim at -2dB, volume at 8 (minus 4 clicks from max) and input sensitivity at +4dBu - TASCAM US 366 has TRS balanced outputs. Those frequency response curves have not be leveled up - only 1/48 filtered. If any of the speakers had a different input sensitivity, would have a much bigger gap between the curves.

Note: the difference above 10kHz showed up after they replaced the tweeter. I didn't take picture, but the newer drivers was not well aligned.

My speakers are back after 3 service orders - I'm not sure if it is the right translation. They "solved" the distortion problem, although there is still a difference at the frequency response between the speakers. I can live with that. The new problem is the speaker came back with some scratches at its base, lateral and a scratch seemley caused by a screawdriver at its backplate. I tried to complain about it, but I was completely ignored.

Sorry "Harman do Brazil" you have lost a client.
