The Focal Alpha 65 Evo 6.5" Studio Monitoris all about one thing: giving any engineer access to a stellar sound at a relatively wallet-friendly price point. With its bass-reflex rounded cabinet, versatile filtering, clean class-D amplification, and its bevy of connection points, this monitor can suit a wide variety of mixing rooms, giving mixing and post-production engineers a sound they can rely upon.

Between its frequency response of 40 Hz to 22 kHz, the monitor is neutral and accurate. You can drive it with unbalanced or balanced audio and adjust the sensitivity to match. Mount it against the wall, or on the wall itself for multichannel immersive audio formats. An IEC power cable is included, as is a protective grille for the woofer.

Stocked with Focal's exclusive, French-manufactured Slatefiber woofer, the Focal 65 EVO provides an excellent presentation of dynamic range. You'll also notice that the speaker is quite balanced: you'll get the same sonic picture throughout your monitoring environment, not just in the sweetspot; and, the monitors have been engineered to give you the same frequency balance at any loudness.

This monitor is built to be used in a variety of ways. Mount it on a stand, in a traditional nearfield setup, or use the built-in insert to mount the speaker to a wall for immersive formats, such as Dolby Atmos.

Dedicated XLR, 1/4" TRS, and RCA inputs are on hand, so you're covered for pretty much any professional or high-end consumer analog connection.

Adjust the low-midrange or the high end to better suit your environment. You'll note a filter adjustable between 0 and 300 Hz (±6 dB), as well as a treble-centric one selectable between 4.5 and 22 kHz (±3 dB).

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do I need anything else to connect to my Mac Studio? Cables etc

A: Aside from the items included in this JBL 305P MkII Studio Monitor Kit, the only other item you will need is a short standard stereo aux cable such as the Pearstone Stereo Mini Male to Stereo Mini Male Cable - Black, 3' (B&H # PEMMSA103B) which will be used to connect the computer's 3.5mm audio output (headphone jack) to the 3.5mm TRS input on the Senal PMC-II Passive Monitor Controller. If you are using a USB audio interface and want to connect the PMC-II and JBL speakers to the interface, you can use the audio output(s) from the interface and connect them to the right/left XLR-1/4" combo jack inputs OR to the 3.5mm input on the PMC-II Monitor Controller using the appropriate cables (not included).

Q: 2. None of my audio output devices have balanced connections - yet the back of the 305P's only have balanced inputs. If I use, let's say an audio cable that has a TRS connector on end (going to the speakers), and an RCA cable on the other end (going to my audio sources), will this work with the 305's?

A: Yes. This will work using an RCA to 1/4" cable.

Q: 4. What phones will the online remote work on?

Q: 5. How can I connect these speakers to my tv that has an s/pdif optical connector?

A: You will need to use a digital to analog converter to take the S/PDIF optical output from the TV and convert it to an analog signal. Connect the S/PDIF output from the TV to an S/PDIF on the converter. Then send the analog output from the converter to the inputs on the monitor controller. Next, connect the left output from the monitor controller to one speaker and the right output from the monitor controller to the second speaker. For the digital to analog converter, you can use a device like the Gefen GTV-DIGAUD-2-AAUD Stereo Digital-to-Analog Audio Converter (B&H# GECDAAA) or FiiO TAISHAN-D03K - S/PDIF Digital to Analog Converter (B&H# FID03K). The monitor controller has a 3.5mm TRS input, so you can use an RCA to 3.5mm TRS cable like the Smart-AVI 3.5mm TRS Male to Dual RCA Male Adapter Cable (B&H# SMAD35MM2RC) and then use the XLR cables to connect each speaker to the monitor controller.

You would feed the subwoofer from your main output signal, then feed the monitors from the subwoofer outputs. Link to LSR310S here: https://bhpho.to/3DCLlTY
