JBL C2PM

What can i say that hasn't been said. I don't believe they originally came as a pair and that's a bonus being usable for a PC monitor as well. Good sound, plenty of power, just right for a near field monitor. Recommended by professionals. What more do you need to know? Buy them.

EDIT!! :: For a long time I have been disappointed because of the processing noise that comes from these speakers -- no matter how I hooked it up, i heard noise. Well, I feel bad for giving these speakers such a poor review before I tested a different source. After connecting these speakers to a different source, I realized that my computer is damaged and these are the only speakers I've connected to them that reveal the noise. Listening with fresh ears from a new source, I can say that these are some of the most accurate speakers (in this price range) I have ever heard. WOW! If you're in the market for ACCURACY, don't hesitate to by these. JBL -- I'm sorry for not thoroughly testing these before submitting a review. :: original review :: I ordered these to replace a set of M-Audio BX5's that died on me. I love JBL and was very excited. These speakers sound great except when they are not in use -- when they are powered on there is a constant hissing noise. I thought I had faulty speakers, so Amazon sent me another pair -- same thing. I'm returning both pairs. To make sure it wasn't the source or the connection, I tested every connection -- same thing.

Outstanding speakers. Highly recommend. Sound is beautiful. I use them to edit video which I did for a living.

I was attempting upgrade my $50 bookshelf speakers. They only have a 3" woofer. They produce way more bass resonance then these JBL's. The JBL's have no bass at all. No resonance at all. Where's the bass? Go for some $50 bookshelf speakers. These are worthless in comparison. Don't waste your $$$.

I bought this product at Amazon, the package has arrived in perfect condition. I can not argue with the end result after playing music for many hours to "loosen" the speakers, the Control 2P is a solid monitor, small and useful high-quality audio playback. Listen to the Control 2P detail preferably in a store that has been ringing constantly, and see if you so excited as me.

Bought a single unit for a nephew who plays guitar a Christmas or two ago, and it worked just fine, guess they still have it. Bought this SET for a grandson learning guitar, but it did not work. I cant say its a bad product but failures out of the box seem quite common anymore. Gonna look for an alternative based on feedback from the crew. Maybe used here is better.

I bought these to use as desktop monitors attached to a Scarlett 8i6 audio interface. This setup worked so well, I bough a second pair for my office attached to another Scarlett interface. Both setups use XLR cables. For the prices, these speakers do a darn good job. Not like the traditional monitors, but very good for desktop quality. I’d recommend them.

I purchased the JPB C2PS speakers on the public recommendation of a well known mic manufacturer. Boy have I been disappointed. Pros: Nice looking Compact In general, the sound is fine, but I'm no golden ears. Cons: Power arcs when you plug them in, even when the speaker power switch is off. There is a pretty bright LED behind the grill of the master speaker. This is always on if the power supply is connected, regardless of the power switch setting. The speaker grills are not well supported. If you are not careful when picking up the speaker, you will flex the front grill, even at the edges. I have not damaged mine, but I've also tried to be very careful. The unbalanced inputs use RCA connectors. I HATE RCA connectors! I've had too many problems with them in the past. Why would anyone use anything but 1/4" or 1/8" stereo plug for unbalanced inputs? And if you're using a mixer, I'd expect 1/4" mono plugs. The power supply is a switching type and a fairly odd voltage - 19VDC. I'm driving the speakers with a mixer. The mixer is connected to a PC line out. In this configuration I get a high pitched whine noise through the speaker. Disconnecting the speakers and listening through headphones eliminates the whine. The mixer I'm using (Behringer Xenyx 502. granted, an economy mixer) has unbalanced outputs, so I have not been able to test if that would eliminate my hum problem.

Bon produits. Fiable. Précis. Suffisamment puissant.

Contrarily to what's stated in the description and documentation, those speakers are either badly shielded or not shielded at all! When moving them close to a CRT screen, they clearly create distorsions which can eventually damage your CRT. The worst part is that I learned about this issue over a year after purchasing them (because I initially trusted the documentation), so I guess I'm stuck with these now.
