The retained reference is $1,199 current U.S. price for one monitor. The base price is one speaker; a pair or immersive array, controller, network hardware, stands, AES cabling and subwoofer are separate. Confirm source level, placement, hearing-level practice, electrical supply, lifting or mounting and return terms before payment.
Current market
Each line carries its own check date because price, software, specifications, and product cycle do not age at the same speed.

705P is the defended compact post and broadcast choice when AES/EBU, delay, high output for size and scalable control matter more than automatic microphone correction or extended low bass.

What changed
Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.
705P was checked against manufacturer identity, manual or specification, support, exact current U.S. price, independent professional evidence and bounded exact-model owner evidence.
Each amount stays tied to its source and capture date. Conflicting prices remain visible until the seller resolves them.

Owner experience
Owner evidence is retained as a room, placement, gain, noise, calibration, firmware and service checklist for 705P, not a response, translation, defect or safety rate.
Reports are self-selected and span different rooms, listening distances, interfaces, gain structures, power, stands, firmware, calibration tools, service regions and hearing. They cannot prove population response, pair matching, reliability, mix translation, hearing safety or service quality.Self-selected exact-model owners discuss room size, placement, input gain, hiss, standby, calibration, firmware, failures and service. Reports span unlike rooms and chains and are not response, translation, defect, hearing-safety or service-rate evidence.
Confirm the exact controller and clocking design before assuming an RJ45-equipped production monitor behaves like a modern network-audio endpoint

JBL Professional identifies 705P as a compact 5-inch two-way DSP monitor with Image Control Waveguide, analog and AES/EBU input, internal EQ, delay and documented network-control options.
Sweetwater lists the 705P at $1,199 each. The base price is one speaker; a pair or immersive array, controller, network hardware, stands, AES cabling and subwoofer are separate
Two-way bi-amplified monitor with 5-inch woofer, 2409H compression driver, Image Control Waveguide and dual front ports in a compact enclosure. JBL states 39 Hz to 36 kHz at -10 dB, 45 Hz to 34 kHz at +/-3 dB and 107 dB maximum continuous SPL with 113 dB peak at 1 metre; continuous and peak must remain distinct. Balanced analog XLR and AES/EBU digital XLR with loop output feed internal DSP. Control-network behavior and required hardware must not be confused with Ethernet audio.
JBL Professional retains current product, user guide and U.S. support records. Confirm firmware tools, controller availability, installation warranty and replacement lead time before a facility rollout. One monitor and mains cable are retained. Every additional channel, controller, audio and network cable, mounts, measurement tools, treatment and subwoofer are outside the unit price.
Independent professional review evaluates the 705P and 708P architecture, DSP, output and installation controls. It does not prove every network, room or long-term service result.
Self-selected exact-model owners discuss room size, placement, input gain, hiss, standby, calibration, firmware, failures and service. Reports span unlike rooms and chains and are not response, translation, defect, hearing-safety or service-rate evidence.
NIOSH explains that sound level and exposure duration both affect hearing risk. A monitor's maximum-output or limiter specification does not establish a safe listening level or duration.
AES technical literature frames monitor response as a loudspeaker, position and room interaction. Correction and anechoic data do not guarantee a listening-room result.
8330A SAM is the compact network-calibrated monitor alternative at $1,125 current U.S. price for one monitor.
KH 120 II is the low-latency dsp and ma 1 nearfield alternative at $949 current U.S. price for one monitor.
Manufacturer identity, current U.S. price, manual or technical specification, support path, independent professional testing and bounded exact-model owner evidence were checked on August 18, 2026. This desk covers complete current U.S.-supported active nearfield, midfield, compact main and calibrated professional monitor systems for recording, mixing, mastering, post, broadcast and serious production rooms. It excludes passive consumer speakers, subwoofers and controllers sold alone, unsupported imports, discontinued models, finish variants, cosmetic bundles and pair-count or woofer-size padding without a material architecture, workflow or platform difference.

Room correction cannot fill deep cancellation nulls, shorten physical decay, add undistorted headroom or replace treatment and geometry. Published frequency range, maximum SPL, review measurements and owner reports are not interchangeable across tolerance, distance, averaging, pair, peak or continuous bases. Use grounded power, ventilation, rated stands and approved mounting hardware; arrange competent structural and overhead installation where applicable. Set reference level and duration conservatively and follow occupational and hearing-health guidance. No specification, calibration, price, review, owner report, monitor, limiter, warranty or service plan guarantees neutral perception, mix translation, mastering accuracy, client approval, room compliance, uptime, hearing safety, electrical safety, fall prevention or any creative, commercial, health or safety outcome.
