JBL Professional Debuts SRX800 Series Portable Powered Loudspeakers

Incorporate JBL transducers, built-in Crown DriveCore amplifiers and user-configurable DSP tuning capability

Harman’s JBL Professional has introduced the new SRX800 Series of portable powered loudspeakers, which incorporate JBL transducers and built-in Crown DriveCore amplifiers as well as user-configurable DSP tuning capability.

JBL SRX800 Series models include the 12-inch 2-way SRX812P, 15-inch 2-way SRX812P, dual 15-inch 3-way SRX835P, 18-inch SRX818SP subwoofer and the dual 18-inch SRX828SP.

“The portable PA market has been moving more and more towards powered loudspeakers and our new SRX800 Series was created to do nothing less than redefine the performance standards in the category,” says Andy Flint, senior manager, Portable PA Marketing, JBL Professional. “Its built-in Crown amplification and configurable DSP provide never-before-available tuning capabilities that enable a new level of sonic accuracy in any system or application.”

The SRX800 Series utilizes premium JBL transducers that combine high power handling with low distortion. High frequencies are handled by waveguides that provide accurate horizontal and vertical pattern control with smooth frequency response over a wide area. The high-excursion woofers deliver articulate, powerful bass with minimal dynamic compression. SRX800 loudspeakers and subwoofers are rated at between 135 dB and 141 dB, depending on model.

All JBL SRX800 models incorporate built-in Crown DriveCore amplifiers with 2,000 watts power output (1,000 watts in the SRX818P). Harman’s DriveCore technology enables the design of amplifiers that are lightweight and energy-efficient, yet powerful. The amplifiers’ onboard DSP includes 20 parametric equalizers, 96 kHz FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters for improved crossover tuning, delay adjustment, and a signal generator to aid in system calibration.

All models also incorporate JBL Application Engineered preset tunings that facilitate fast system setup. In addition,all are fully compatible with Harman HiQnet network communications protocol, enabling control via Audio Architect or JBL SRX Connect—the new iOS and Android application that provides a streamlined approach to system control.

The loudspeakers have M10 suspension points for rigging and standard 35 mm pole cups for stand mounting. The rear panels feature an LCD screen and glow in the dark ink to facilitate setup even on dark stages. The SRX812P includes feet that enable it to be used as either a main or monitor loudspeaker.
