JBL PRX835 15-Inch Three-Way Powered PA Speaker

The JBL PRX835 is a professional 15-inch, three-way powered PA loudspeaker designed for live performances, DJs, rental sound systems, and venues requiring powerful full-range audio reproduction. Featuring a 1,500-watt Class-D amplifier, JBL Differential Drive® technology, and built-in Wi-Fi DSP control, the PRX835 combines high-output performance with precise sound management in a portable, self-powered enclosure.

Unlike traditional two-way PA speakers, the PRX835 uses a dedicated 6.5-inch horn-loaded midrange driver alongside its 15-inch woofer and 1.5-inch neodymium compression driver. This three-way design allows each driver to reproduce a specific frequency range, delivering detailed vocals, articulate instruments, and extended low-frequency performance.

With a maximum output of 138 dB SPL and a nominal 90° horizontal by 50° vertical coverage pattern, the PRX835 is well suited for demanding main PA applications. Its full-range design can provide substantial bass without a separate subwoofer, while pairing it with a compatible powered subwoofer can deliver additional low-frequency impact for larger performances.

The PRX835 also features wireless control through the JBL PRX Connect app, allowing users to adjust DSP equalization and speaker settings from a compatible mobile device. A durable plywood enclosure, DuraFlex™ protective finish, integrated handles, and M10 suspension points make it suitable for portable sound reinforcement and properly engineered installations.

Three-Way Sound Reproduction for Live Performances

The JBL PRX835 is designed for applications where vocal clarity, instrument detail, and full-range performance are important.

Its 15-inch Differential Drive woofer handles low-frequency reproduction, while the dedicated 6.5-inch midrange driver reproduces critical vocal and instrument frequencies. The neodymium compression driver provides controlled high-frequency coverage.

This three-way configuration makes the PRX835 an excellent choice for live bands, vocal performances, DJ systems, and venues seeking a more detailed listening experience from a powered PA speaker.

Built-In Wi-Fi and DSP Control

The PRX835 includes onboard digital signal processing that allows users to tailor speaker performance to different venues and applications.

Using the JBL PRX Connect app, operators can remotely adjust supported DSP parameters, including equalization and delay, without accessing the rear panel of each loudspeaker.

Normal and Boost EQ presets provide convenient starting points for system setup, while integrated limiting and protection circuitry help maintain reliable operation during demanding performances.

Flexible Full-Range PA System Applications

The PRX835 can operate as a standalone full-range main loudspeaker or as part of a larger powered sound reinforcement system.

For applications requiring deeper bass and additional low-frequency output, it can be paired with a compatible powered subwoofer, such as the JBL PRX818XLF.

Ideal Applications

• Live bands and concert performances
• DJ and mobile entertainment systems
• Theaters and performance venues
• Houses of worship
• Corporate events and presentations
• Rental and production sound systems
• Hospitality and event facilities
• Full-range main PA installations
