JBL Speakers Buying Guide

For affordable, portable sound, it's tough to beat JBL's line of EON speakers and PA systems. The EON700 Series full-range models have a built-in 3-channel mixer, Bluetooth receiver, and dbx DriveRack Inside technology, featuring Automatic Feedback Suppression, 8-band output EQ, and presets you can access via the rear-panel LCD or JBL Pro Connect App. Bluetooth streaming makes these 1300-watt powered speakers even more versatile. For an all-in-one PA system, check out JBL's EON ONE systems.

In a sea of powered speakers, the JBL IRX Series stands out with impressive features: One-touch ducking to ensure your voice carries over background music, real-world EQ presets to let you dial in optimal tone in an instant, built-in dbx feedback suppression so you can crank it up with confidence, and Bluetooth audio streaming for music, soundtracks and backing tracks. With mic/line combo inputs and an XLR pass-thru output, these portable powered speakers are a great fit for performers, presenters, and fitness instructors on the go.

Stripped down to the bare essentials for high quality sound, JBL's JRX200 Series passive speakers deliver reliable performance for an affordable price. Stretch your live sound dollars further with these proven performers: the JRX212 for monitor wedges, JRX215 and JRX225 as mains, and JRX218S as subwoofers. Paired with Crown power amplifiers, these are great for small venue installations.

Made for musicians, DJs, houses of worship, public address systems, schools and nightclubs, JBL's PRX400 Series includes passive speakers and subwoofers designed for easy installation and mounting. JBL's SonicGuard Technology protects each speaker's high-frequency driver by attenuating its input signal and protecting it from overload.

PRX400 Series speakers feature lightweight but hearty poplar plywood enclosures coated in JBL's DuraFlex finish. This casing pairs with a sleek hexagonal front grill for a modern professional look.

JBL packed their PRX900 Series speakers with advanced technology. Loaded with next-gen drivers pushed by 2000-watt (peak) Class D amplifiers, comprehensive DSP, and complete control via Bluetooth with the JBL Pro Connect app, these speakers are professional grade! From DJs and bands to venues, rental houses, and corporate A/V providers, anyone who needs a powerful, versatile PA can depend on the PRX900 series to deliver.

Housed in each rugged SRX800 Powered Series speaker is an extraordinary amount of power. Designed to be smart and strong, SRX800 speakers offer you a full suite of onboard user-configurable DSP including 20 PEQs, 2 seconds of delay, signal generators, input mixing, amplifier monitoring, and 50 slots for recallable presets.

All of this is easily controlled by Audio Architect software, the HiQnet Motion Control iOS app, and a standalone application for iOS, Android, Mac, and PC. Simple wired control is provided via an Ethercon connector on the back of the system and wireless control is possible using a standard off-the-shelf wireless router.
