Applications

The PRX825 is a two-way sound reinforcement loudspeaker with dual 15” woofers handling the low end. Because of the second 15” woofer, the PRX825 is an ideal solution when space for set-up or transport is limited, but low frequency performance is vital to the success of a gig. On top of this, coupling the system with a subwoofer creates a very high volume sound reinforcement solution, perfect for regional tour companies and AV Rental companies looking for a scalable, easy to deploy audio solution. Although the PRX825 can be paired with any subwoofer, the crossover matching with the PRX815XLF or PRX818XLF will deliver optimized frequency response down to the bottom of the sonic range.

For live music, recorded music playback and speech the user has the option of tailoring the EQ. A microphone can be directly connected to the speaker input for quick on-the-fly PA applications.

The PRX825 features remote Wi-Fi control of onboard DSP EQ parameters. The PRX825 is capable of delivering a very high level of performance over a wide bandwidth. The PRX825 is comprised of two 380 mm (15 in) 275 Differential Drive® woofers, a 2408H-2, 37.5 mm (1.5 in) annular polymer diaphragm, neodymium compression driver mounted to a 90° by 50° horn, all driven by a Class-D power amplifier. Sophisticated DSP is at the core of a fully featured input section, powering component protection, input sensitivity selection, cross-over functionality, dynamic limiting and discrete component optimization. Additionally, the app allows users to control 8 PEQs, 50ms of delay, gain staging, and other options to optimize the performance of their system.

All PRX800 cabinets are built from 18 mm, strong, light-weight poplar plywood made structurally sound with tongue and groove joints. All PRX800 Series cabinets are protected by JBL’s tour proven DuraFlex™ finish. Grilles are made from dent-resistant 16 gauge steel and handles are made from light-weight glass-filled nylon for added strength and durability. All M10 suspension points are constructed from 14 gauge steel and have been tested with a yield-strength of 1000 lbs. each

The amplifier input panel offers XLR or ¼ inch jack compatibility and a sensitivity switch provides extra flexibility, making it possible to connect literally any sound source without using a mixer. Signal present and overload lights indicate the system status and assist in setting the optimum level, via the level control knob.
