JBL C2PS Control 2P Stereo Speakers - Pair
Description
JBL C2PS Control 2P Stereo Speakers — Pair
The JBL C2PS brings studio-grade monitoring clarity to your rehearsal space, home studio, or band's practice room. These powered speakers pair accurate transducers with straightforward controls, delivering the transparent sound you need to hear exactly what you're playing—no coloration, no surprises. The included snap-on pedestals position them at the ideal listening angle straight out of the box.
Audio Performance & Connectivity
A 35-watt amplifier and high-sensitivity drivers produce 115 dB maximum SPL per pair, supplying enough clean headroom to fill a room without breaking up or distorting your tone. The 80 Hz–20 kHz frequency range with 4.2 kHz crossover keeps lows tight and mids articulate, letting you hear every nuance of your playing, while dual balanced XLR/¼" TRS and unbalanced RCA inputs work with everything from mixing boards to consumer audio gear.
Design & Functionality
Magnetically shielded transducers sit safely near CRT monitors and sensitive gear without interference. Side-mounted ergonomic controls let you dial in volume and tailor high-frequency response to your room's acoustics. An internal peak limiter and overload protection circuit keep the speakers running reliably even during extended sessions or hot input levels, while the included 3.5 mm headphone jack lets you monitor privately when you need silent practice time.
