Overview
The JBL PRX715 powered loudspeaker brings maximum low-end response to the PRX700 2-way speaker line! It is a true 2-way powered top, with a custom-designed JBL 275G 15-inch woofer cone and a JBL 2408H-2 1.5-inch diameter annular polymer diaphragm, neodymium compression driver.
The PRX715 handles 1500 watts of continuous power with an impressive maximum SPL of 136 dB. In "Main" mode, this speaker has a frequency response of 58.1 Hz - 17.2 kHz. When you engage the "Monitor" function, you'll get a more tailored response of 60.7 Hz - 16.7 kHz. This speaker's size and solid low-end response makes it a perfect front-of-house main for DJs and other musicians needing some substantial thump in small to midsize venues. As an onstage monitor, it is exceptionally good for bassists.

Simple and Versatile I/O
All JBL PRX700 powered loudspeakers come equipped with 2 balanced combo XLR-1/4" inputs. There are also 2 unbalanced RCA inputs. When you're running a line out from the speaker, there is a single male XLR balanced output.A Lot of Power, a Lot Less Heat
The JBL PRX series features JBL's patented Differential Drive Technology with ferrite drivers. This Differential Drive technology led to the creation of new ferrite magnets with less weight. This maximizes efficient power use, and leads to minimal heat gain with faster dissipation. At the heart of this unit is a recently-redesigned Class D amplifier that provides excellent power handling. The JBL PRX700 series speakers also… read more come pre-equipped with a dbx Type IV limiter circuit, to ensure that dynamic peaks are smoothed out before they can clip or distort in a live situation.Finely Constructed, Rock-Solid Wooden Cabinets
The tops of all PRX700 series enclosures are constructed from with 25mm sheets of poplar plywood that are uniquely strong given their light weight. The sides are made from 18mm sheets that ensure a cabinet with a great natural throw. They have absolutely no boxy or buzzy cross-resonance, even when you're pushing the volume all the way. The deep-cup tongue and groove joints in the cabinet ensure a cabinet that will ensure the rigors of transport. The cabinets are finished in JBL's own obsidian DuraFlex finish, while the speakers inside are protected with a dent-and-scratch-resistant 16 gauge steel. The M10 suspension points are constructed from 14 gauge steel that are rated to hold up to 1000 pounds each. Given that the PRX715 loudspeaker weighs in at a diminutive 48 pounds, you should have no trouble hanging these if you so desire!Easy to Transport in Full-Range or Monitor Situations
These JBL PRX700 series speakers include a single 36mm (M20) pole socket for mounting on a speaker stand, or on a pole atop a subwoofer. The cabinets are constructed in a trapezoidal shape that makes them reliable and sturdy floor monitors. Each speaker's ergonomic handles are made from lightweight glass-filled nylon, and feel great in the hands when you have to schlep them around.Features:

I had previously been using a lower level Mackie Thump 12" and wanted a significant step up. I first bought a pair of EV ZLX15. I found that while they were a better build and definitely had more wiring options, they were prone to clipping at low levels and ran pretty hot.
I returned those for the JBL PRX15. Problem solved. These speakers get VERY loud and will only clip when they've reached extreme levels, which is exactly what I needed. Add a sub or two and you have a top notch mobile system.
