The JBL JRX215 is a 15" two-way passive PA speaker, engineered to deliver high-powered performance at an affordable price. The JRX215 packs advanced JBL transducer technology and robust components into a lightweight, portable enclosure suited for live music, DJ sets, speech reinforcement and more.

High-Efficiency 15" Woofer Pumps Out Massive Low End

At the heart of the JRX215 is a high-efficiency 15" woofer with a 2.5"-diameter edge-wound ribbon voice coil, providing more wire area within the voice coil gap than conventional designs. The result is a woofer that handles 1,000 watts of power and generates deep, distortion-free bass with minimal power compression.

Weather-Resistant 1" Polymer Compression Driver

The JRX215's 1" polymer compression driver features a lightweight yet rigid diaphragm that delivers crisp, detailed highs up to 20kHz with improved reliability over traditional designs. Its wide 90-degree x 50-degree coverage ensures even dispersion throughout the venue. The compression driver's sealed enclosure protects internal components from damage due to weather and humidity for worry-free outdoor use.

Road-Ready Design With Premium Components

JBL engineered the JRX215 for life on the road with a rugged trapezoidal enclosure, durable mesh grilles and recessed, foam-padded handles. It includes heavy-duty speaker terminals that accept input from virtually any amplifier, as well as a 1.41" pole mount socket with selectable 0-degree or 10-degree tilt for maximum flexibility. Premium crossover networks with overload protection guarantee optimal performance from both the woofer and compression driver.

Unmatched Value and Performance

With professional-caliber sound, premium components and a road-ready design, the JBL JRX215 delivers unparalleled performance for its price range.

      Great speaker, good sound. Too heavy IMO. Way too heavy to put on a speaker tripod unless you put it on while its on its side and lift it up. Can't beat the sound of JBL though despite the weight.

      The synth has nothing to do with the speaker. The synth needs to be connected to some type of amp.

      Will these speakers be compatible with a Rockville RPM80BT powered 8 channel mixer? I would like to use this product with my existing PA mixer.
