FAQ
Q: Are they good as near-field studio monitors for home studio? Do they work with Denon DRA 500ae receiver?
A: These speakers are not recommended as primary studio monitors due to their weak/non-existent low bass response and less than flat mid-range. However, they can be used as an "alternative" to studio monitors and are good for mixing drums and bass. They work with the Denon DRA 500ae receiver.
Q: Are they self-powered? Can I just plug my phone in and jam?
A: No, these speakers are not self-powered. They need to be connected to an amplifier using a two-lead cable. You cannot plug your phone directly into the speakers.
Q: How do I install them?
A: If you have the brackets, you can use a drill to install them. However, be careful as the plastic is weak. It is recommended to use Skype if you need further assistance.
Q: What comes with the product?
A: The product includes only the speakers. You will need a power amp and possibly a board to plug your computer into.
Q: Are these speakers suitable for outdoor use considering they will be under a canopy and won't get wet?
A: These speakers are not rated for outdoor use but can be used for outdoor installations on a nice day when it isn't rainy.
Q: Can I connect this pair to a mixer and use as a PA system for conferences?
A: If it is a powered mixer, these speakers can be directly connected to it. Otherwise, you will need an amp. However, these speakers were not designed for use as a PA system.
Q: Do these speakers come with JBL Party Boost to attach to other JBL products with the JBL app?
A: No, these speakers are not equipped with JBL Party Boost or any other onboard tech. They need to be wired to an amplifier.
Q: Can these speakers be used outdoors?
A: These speakers are not rated for outdoor use but can be used for outdoor installations on a nice day when it isn't rainy.
Q: My amp puts out 90 watts @ 8 ohms per channel. Is the 150 watts for the pair or for each speaker?
A: The 150 watts is for the pair. However, it is recommended to get the 8 ohm version of these speakers if your amp is 8 ohms to avoid overheating.
