JBL PRX900 Series deliver clean, clear sound at any volume

JBL Professional Solutions has introduced the PRX900 Series of loudspeakers and subwoofers, which boast advanced acoustics and power performance, comprehensive DSP and complete BLE control via the JBL Pro Connect app.

The PRX900 Series is a versatile solution for DJs and bands, music venues, rental houses, corporate A/V providers, or anyone who seeks durable professional systems that deliver room-filling sound in any portable or installed scenario.

The line, which includes three powered two-way loudspeakers and two powered subwoofers, is built from the ground up to leverage JBL’s most advanced acoustic innovations.

All-new proprietary driver systems – powered by ultra-efficient Class D amplifiers – work to deliver clarity and definition even at maximum volume, with improved dispersion and beam width and smooth low-frequency extension.

The PRX900 Series’ DSP package – accessible via onboard LCDs and the JBL Pro Connect app – includes 12-band parametric EQ for system tuning and nuanced tonal control, as well as integrated dbx Drive Rack technology, which features live and fixed Automatic Feedback Suppression, soft system limiter with Soundcraft Overeasy option and speaker delay settings and presets.

The JBL Pro Connect app can be used to control up to 10 speakers, integrate with JBL EON ONE MK2, PRX ONE, and EON700 systems, and access app-only functions including speaker snapshots and grouping.

The series is fully loaded with comprehensive DSP – also all accessible via the JBL Pro Connect app or onboard colour LCD. Processing includes 12-band parametric EQ, plus optimised presets and snapshots.

“For years, our PRX800 Series loudspeakers have been first-call systems for bands, DJs, installers and houses of worship in large part thanks to their acoustic profile, their low end extension and their volume," said Brandon Knudsen, Harman Professional product manager, portable PA loudspeakers.

“With the PRX900 Series, we’re taking things to the next level with next-gen acoustic innovations and an even brawnier power package to deliver clean, clear sound at any volume. Systems take advantage of the latest BLE technology and the JBL Pro Connect app ecosystem for unrivalled control.”

Patented JBL 2408H-2 1.5” compression drivers with poly-annular diaphragms and neodymium magnets provide clear, detailed high-frequency response, while new horns with updated JBL Image Control Waveguides deliver consistent beamwidth and frequency dispersion.

Meanwhile, next-generation woofers with ferrite magnets deliver smooth, natural bass response, and an FEA flared port design reduces air noise and distortion.

Driven by efficient Class D power amps, the PRX900 Series are designed to provide acoustic clarity and definition with minimal power compression, even at maximum volume, and a bridged woofer amp keeps current spikes out of the ground and lowers crosstalk harmonics to the tweeter.

High-linearity inductors deliver impressive power efficiency and low total harmonic distortion, and low-noise, low-distortion input gain staging optimises range and headroom for diverse gain requirements.

High-quality DAC and ADC provides near-lossless audio conversion, and by producing up to 134dB output down to 30Hz, systems support large performance spaces with high power and performance requirements.

Crucially, with a full-bandwidth CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio) greater than 55dB and THD (total harmonic distortion) rating of <32dB, noise is virtually nonexistent.

Also, onboard dbx DriveRack technology features live and fixed Automatic Feedback Suppression, hard and soft system limiters and 180ms of speaker delay in 100-microsecond intervals for full time-aligned systems.

The PRX900 Series loudspeakers and subwoofers can be combined in a range of configurations to meet the requirements of both mobile scenarios and fixed installs. 

Speakers feature dual 36 mm pole sockets and six M10 suspension points and subwoofers feature M20 pole cups, while the full-range speakers feature a built-in gyrosensor that automatically optimises system tuning depending on monitor or mains placement.

The PRX900 Series is designed to withstand the rigours of the road thanks to rigid composite loudspeaker cabinets featuring computer-modelled ribbing, while subwoofers are housed in 18mm birch cabinets with optimised bracing for smooth, accurate low-frequency response.

Every product is reinforced by vigorous test and validation protocols, plus the series is backed by a seven-year warranty.
