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 2-way 15” offers the perfect balance between size and performance. The PRX815 truly is an exception; it’s small, lightweight, 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 DJs when portability is key, or when hung by the suspension points, an exceptional light-duty 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 a 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 a 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, lightweight 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 dent-resistant 16-gauge steel, and handles are made from lightweight glass-filled nylon for added strength and durability. All M10 suspension points are constructed from 14-gauge steel and have been tested with a yield strength of 1000 lbs each.
  • The amplifier input panel offers XLR or ¼ inch jack compatibility, and a sensitivity switch provides extra flexibility, making it possible to connect 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 knob.
