JBL Announces New PRX 400 Passive Series at 2012 NAMM

 

JBL's brand new PRX400 passive speakers were designed to provide the sensitivity, frequency response and power handling needed for almost any professional audio environment while still being reasonably priced.  Whether you use a powered mixer or an equipment rack full of amps and signal processing, PRX400 passive speakers deliver the sound power and bandwidth necessary  to make loud music sound natural and even quiet speech intelligible.

Perfect for musicians, DJ’s, House of Worship, public address, or even suspended in a commercial environment like a school or nightclub, PRX400 speakers were crafted to address a multitude of demanding audio environments.

The PRX412M and PRX415M can be used as mains or monitors and with the addition of the PRX418 subwoofer you’ll have a sub/sat system capable of generating 135 dB of full-range, high quality audio. The PRX425 dual 15" two-way is the perfect choice for DJ’s and bands who need low-frequency extension from the convenience of a stand-alone cabinet.

Like all JBL Professional products, the PRX400 Series speakers have survived JBL’s 100 hour power test. We submit each component and each system in the PRX400 Series to 100 hours of continuous, high level input.   Very few of our competitors survive the brutality, but this test ensures that your JBL speaker will perform perfectly for a lifetime of long, loud nights.

We also submit all of our speakers to a barrage of other unforgiving environmental and strength tests. By exposing our products to harsh temperatures and humidity we can make certain they will function anywhere on the planet. We conduct pull tests on the suspension points, drop tests on the cabinets, and packaging crush tests in an effort to ensure that you can hit the stage with confidence and pride.

As JBL Professional is part of the Harman family of professional audio companies, we have a unique opportunity to partner with sister company Crown Audio. By accessing the sophisticated sound shaping DSP technology employed in their Crown® XTi2 amplifiers, we are able to offer enhanced performance tunings as a pre-set in their products.  Not only have we coded the crossover points for a sat/sub setup, we’ve utilized their parametric filters and peak x+ limiters to craft a beautiful tuning curve that highlights the true potential of the system design.  Tunings will also be available in the dbx DriveRack®  PA+ signal processor.PRX400 passive speakers are comprised of tour tested JBL components and feature professional connectivity via Neutrik® Speakon combination connectors.

PRX400 cabinets are artfully constructed from an 18mm Birch/Poplar multi-laminate hardwood covered in highly resilient DuraFlex™ and feature rugged 16 gauge steel grilles.  All full range models utilize twelve M10 suspension points for safe deployment in light duty installations.  With three 2-way designs and an 18" sub-woofer, PRX400 passive series tackle tough jobs affordably and professionally
