JBL PRX815W Powered 15" 2-Way Full-Range Main System

Description
PRX815W is the first PA system in its class to offer complete wireless control. The PRX Connect mobile app for iOS and Android connects wirelessly to each unit in the system simultaneously, providing full control over the powerful DSP built in to each speaker. With control over 8-band parametric EQ, speaker delay, mute, gain and more, PRX Connect helps musicians achieve the perfect sound for their performances, faster than ever before. Users can walk around the venue during sound check and fine-tune the speakers for optimal sound quality. PRX Connect also makes it easy to configure shows offline and save presets for fast future setup.
Featuring integrated 1500-watt Class-D power amplification along with a 15" patented JBL Differential Drive woofer with reduced magnet mass and increased power handling. Updated tuning delivers flat frequency response and smooth off-axis behavior. The all-wood cabinets feature durable tongue-in-groove joints, tour-proven DuraFlex protective finish and dent-resistant 16-gauge steel grilles. PRX815 systems undergo a stringent testing regimen, including a 100-hour torture test, to ensure peak performance in any real-world environment. The combined result is an ultrareliable and remarkably lightweight system capable of delivering clear, pristine audio at extraordinarily high volumes.
PRX815W loudspeakers are packed with innovations from Harman’s industry-leading live sound brands, introducing a new level of flexibility, scalability and sound quality to the portable PA category. The redesigned Crown input panel offers XLR, 1/4" and RCA inputs plus XLR loop-through and professional outputs to provide plenty of options for input sources and routing. dbx Type IV limiting eases the system back to a safe level when any frequency band is in limit, ensuring that the sound is accurate and uncompressed, even at very high volumes over long periods of time. An intelligent variable-speed fan cools the system only as needed to ensure optimal sound quality during quiet performances.

PRX Connect app docks 1 star
submitted6 years ago
byDJ Pawikan
fromLancaster, CA
Let me get the sore thumb of a con out of the way first. The PRX Connect App just complicates an otherwise great speaker. Having to have an app in order to EQ the speaker can be a turn off for some. There are no high or bass pots to tune them manually. In my frustration, I nearly packed up the pair and wanted to return them. But a cooler head prevailed and I took the time to get used to the app. Another downside to the app is that it only works on tablets and not mobile phones, how silly is that!? Okay done with the con. These speakers are awesome in terms of sound once you get them EQ'ed) and volume. Very crystal clear highs, great mids, and punchy bass. Using a sub's high pass filter gives you more flexibility in fine tuning the EQ'ing even more. Did I mention these things can get very loud? If you are a beginner DJ that has been gigging for a while and are looking to upgrade your speakers, you will love these. I know some of us are brand loyal, but I upgraded from Harbinger V2215s that I bought in the Summer of 2018 when I started DJing. So to me any of the better brands above Harbinger would suffice, but I do not regret my purchase of these speakers. Louder, clearer, and more portable than my V2215s.
I like JBL so much bought me a 3rd pair
