PRX815
The JBL PRX815 is a full-range speaker designed for main system and floor monitor applications. Featuring a 15”, two-way, bass-reflex design powered by a 1500-watt class-D amplifier, PRX815 delivers incredible volume in a lightweight and compact form factor. The performance and asymmetrical design make this a perfect choice for musicians, entertainers and DJ’s when portability is key, or when hung by the suspension points, an exceptional light-duty installation speaker. The PRX800 series integrates embedded ioSYS technology which enables easier setup and control when used with the HARMAN Connected PA app and compatible products. Connected PA delivers seamless plug-and-play operation with a variety of HARMAN equipment and enables you to control your entire live sound system with one app. Products within the Connected PA system self-identify and retain presets for effortless setup, and setup wizards help you quickly optimize speaker levels, configuration settings and EQ. Current products with embedded ioSYS technology and HARMAN Connected PA compatibility include the Ui24R mixer, JBL PRX800 loudspeakers, dbx Di1 direct boxes, and AKG P5i microphones and the MDAi dynamic microphone adapter.

Application:
< The 2-way 15” offers the perfect balance between
size and performance. The PRX815 truly is an
exception; it’s small, light weight, versatile and
powerful with remote Wi-Fi control of onboard DSP
EQ parameters. The performance and asymmetrical
design make this a perfect choice for musicians,
entertainers and DJ’s when portability is key, or when
hung by the suspension points, an exceptional lightduty installation speaker. All PRX800 Series speakers
were designed to excel in sound reinforcement
where challenging audio environments and loud
volumes are the norm. For applications requiring
full bandwidth sound reproduction, the PRX815
delivers the optimum balance. 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 PA
applications. Coupled with a PRX800 sub-woofer the
system becomes an efficient, full-range sound system.
< The PRX815 is comprised of 15” 275G Differential
Drive® woofer, 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 1500 watt
Class-D power amplifier. Sophisticated DSP is at the
core of a fully featured input section, providing user
selectable system EQ, protection, input sensitivity
selection, cross-over functionality, dynamic limiting
and discrete component optimization.
< 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 dentresistant 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 yieldstrength of 1000 lb 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
