Section 2: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of JBL Professional 3 Series Studio Monitors. The 3 Series meet JBL’s high standards for accuracy and long-term reliability in demanding professional applications. All 3 Series models incorporate JBL Professional transducer and network technologies to provide accurate frequency response, exceptional low frequency extension and high SPL capability. JBL Linear Spatial Reference (LSR) design ensures greater accuracy at the mix position in acoustically varied workspaces and production environments. Additionally, each speaker is equipped to interface with a range of signal sources, including high-output professional audio equipment.
JBL LINEAR SPATIAL REFERENCE (LSR) DESIGN
Because listening environments vary, JBL designed the 3 Series system using Linear Spatial Reference design criteria that improve accuracy at the listening position in a broad range of rooms. The key to accuracy is ensuring that not only the on-axis sound is neutral, but also the relected sound reaching the mix position is neutral.
While most manufacturers take only a single on-axis measurement of the speaker’s performance, Linear Spatial Reference design criteria requires 72 measurements, taken 360 degrees around the speaker, yielding 1,200 times more data. This data is used in the design of critical system components, enabling JBL to engineer complete systems that deliver smooth off-axis response. The result: clear, accurate sound at the listening position in any room.
IMAGE CONTROL WAVEGUIDE
JBL’s revolutionary Image Control Waveguide gives the 3 Series Powered Studio Monitors remarkable imaging, a wide soundstage, and a solid “phantom center”. Subtle details can be heard, even in a dense mix. As an added beneit, the Image Control Waveguide provides a broad “sweet spot”, so you don’t have to be seated directly in front of the speakers to hear accurate and natural and open sound.
305P, 306P, AND 308P MKII FEATURES
3 Series MkII models include a range of features to meet the needs of demanding audio production applications:
•The magnetically-shielded low frequency transducers in MkII models, equipped with 1.5" voice coils and robust motor structures ine tuned for increased linearity, deliver excellent low frequency performance. By reducing thermal-related effects, the 3 Series MkII Studio Monitors and LSR310S Subwoofer sound the same at low, medium, and high levels. The woofers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with magnetically sensitive displays and equipment. The woofer’s self-repairing dust dome is resistant to dents caused by ingers or external objects.
•JBL’s patented Slip Stream™ low frequency port design works in concert with the woofer to produce deep bass response at any playback level. The double-lared shape of the port is precisely engineered for greater low frequency extension and reduced turbulence.
•The bi-ampliied design, with individual power ampliiers for the low frequency and high frequency transducers, uses eficient high-output Class-D integrated power ampliiers to provide high SPL (sound pressure level).
•Magnetically-shielded soft dome high frequency transducers with optimally damped materials improve transient response and minimize distortion. By reducing distortion in the lower operating range, where the ear is most sensitive, these transducers reduce ear fatigue.
•Balanced XLR and ¼" input connectors.
•+4dBu / -10dBV INPUT SENSITIVITY switch allows connection to consumer-grade or high-output professional equipment without danger of input overload.
•Detented VOLUME attenuator allows ine adjustment of levels for a broad range of signal sources.
•HIGH FREQUENCY TRIM control to adjust the high frequency response to taste or compensate for acoustically relective or absorptive listening environments.
•BOUNDARY EQ switch compensates for low-frequency acoustic anomalies that can occur when loudspeakers are in close proximity to walls.

LSR310S POWERED STUDIO SUBWOOFER FEATURES
Producing extended low frequency response into the 20Hz region, the LSR310S is the perfect match for the 3 Series MkII studio monitors. The LSR310S feature set includes:
•A Magnetically-shielded low frequency transducer, equipped with a 1.5" voice coil and robust motor structure for excellent low frequency performance. By reducing thermal-related effects, the 3 Series MkII Studio Monitors and LSR310S Subwoofer sound the same at low, medium, and high levels. The woofer is magnetically shielded to prevent interference with magnetically sensitive displays and equipment. The woofer’s self-repairing dust dome is resistant to dents caused by ingers or external objects.
•A custom-designed down-iring, high-excursion 10" woofer with additional bucking magnet.
•A 200 watt Class-D power ampliier with abundant output and dynamic headroom for the most demanding production styles.
•The patented Slip Stream low frequency port, designed to work in concert with the 3 Series MkII woofers for accurate bass response at all playback levels.
•A detented VOLUME control, making it easy to balance the LSR310S with the studio monitor system.
•Balanced XLR and ¼" input connectors.
•Two XLR output connectors to add the LSR310S to any studio monitor system and extend its low frequency response.
•A +4dBu / -10dBV INPUT SENSITIVITY switch for connection to consumer or high-output professional equipment without danger of input overload.
•Three CROSSOVER settings:
•80Hz – This setting implements highand low-pass ilters to create a seamless blend of the LSR310S with the 3 Series MkII studio monitors or other speaker system.
•XLF – This special setting activates a 120Hz high-pass ilter in conjunction with a low frequency tuning that approximates the tuning used in club playback systems. Using this setting, the bass output more than doubles.
•External – The external setting bypasses all iltering, allowing use of an external active crossover.
•A protective limiting circuit allows the subwoofer to operate continuously at full output without failure.
JBL PROFESSIONAL RELIABILITY
Prior to becoming a production-ready design, each 3 Series model is subjected to JBL’s tough 100-hour power test, in which the speaker is required to play continually at full output for 100 hours without failure. This demanding test ensures the 3 Series speakers will deliver years of reliable performance. To get the most out of the JBL 3 Series, please review this owner’s manual and keep it on hand for future reference. Also, please register your new speakers at www.jblpro.com/registration.

Section 3: Setting Up Your System
EACH 3 SERIES CARTON INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
•One 3 Series MkII studio monitor or 3 Series subwoofer
•One power cord
•Quick setup guide
•Four peel-off rubber pads (305P, 306P, and 308P MkII models only)
UNPACKING
When removing a speaker from its packaging, we recommend the following procedure, which will prevent damage of the high frequency transducer:
305P, 306P, and 308P MkII models:
1.Remove the outer shipping carton, if one exists.
2.Place the inner carton on the loor with the top facing upwards.
3.Open the top of the box.
4.Without removing the internal packaging end-cap, gently rotate the carton so the open end rests on the loor and the bottom of the carton is facing you.
5.Gently lift the carton and allow the speaker and protective end-cap to slide out of the carton and remain on the loor.
6.Save the cartons and use the above procedure in reverse when you want to repack the units for shipment.
LSR310S subwoofer – The subwoofer weighs 19 kg (42 lbs). Unpacking the subwoofer does not require you to lift the subwoofer. However, you will need to rotate the subwoofer in the carton. If you are unable to perform the following steps without assistance, please request help from another person.
1.Remove the outer shipping carton, if one exists.
2.Place the carton on the loor with the bottom facing upward.
3.Open the bottom laps of the carton and remove any protective packing materials from the bottom of the subwoofer. Open the bag that protects the subwoofer to expose the subwoofer’s four feet.
4.Gently rotate the carton so the bottom is facing the loor and the four feet of the subwoofer are in contact with the loor.
5.Gently lift the carton and allow the subwoofer and protective packing materials to slide out and remain on the loor.
6.Remove the protective packing materials and documentation from the top of the subwoofer. Save the carton and use the above procedure in reverse when you want to repack the unit for shipment.
PLACEMENT
3 Series MkII Studio Monitors are designed to deliver exceptional imaging in any room. To get the most out of your speakers, follow these recommendations:
•Locate the four self-adhesive rubber pads supplied with the 305P, 306P, and 308P MkII speakers. Position and attach these to the bottom surface of the speaker close to each corner.
•Position each 305P, 306P, or 308P MkII Studio Monitor in a vertical orientation with the tweeter on top. Vertical orientation eliminates phase shift and acoustic cancellation of frequencies that can occur when the distance of the woofer to the ear is different from the distance of the tweeter to the ear.
•Angle the speakers so the high-frequency transducer in each speaker is aimed directly towards the ear of the listener.
