JBL Professional Introduces PRX900 Series Professional
Portable PA Systems
JBL Professional introduces PRX900 portable PA systems for DJs, bands, and houses of worship
Powered Loudspeakers and Subwoofers Take Category Performance to New Level with Next-gen
Acoustics, Pro DSP, BLE functionality and App Control
HARMAN Professional Solutions, one of the global leaders in audio, video, lighting and
control,
introduced the JBL PRX900 Series of loudspeakers and subwoofers, which feature advanced
acoustics,
comprehensive DSP, unrivalled power performance and complete BLE control via the JBL Pro Connect
app.
The line, which includes three powered two-way loudspeakers and two powered subwoofers, is built
from the ground up to leverage JBL's most advanced acoustic innovations. All-new proprietary driver
systems-powered by ultra-efficient Class D amplifiers-deliver clarity and definition even at maximum
volume, with improved dispersion and beam width and smooth low-frequency extension.
The PRX900 Series' class-leading DSP package, accessible via onboard LCDs and the JBL Pro Connect
app, includes 12-band parametric EQ for system tuning and nuanced tonal control, and integrated dbx
Drive Rack technology, featuring live and fixed Automatic Feedback Suppression, soft system limiter
with Soundcraft Overeasy option and speaker delay settings and presets.
Use the JBL Pro Connect app to control up to 10 speakers, integrate with JBL EON ONE MK2, PRX ONE,
and EON700 systems, and access app-only functions including speaker snapshots and grouping.
The PRX900 Series includes three two-way powered loudspeakers and two subwoofers built with JBL's
most advanced acoustic innovations
The PRX900 Series is designed to withstand the rigors of the road. Rigid composite loudspeaker
cabinets feature computer-modelled ribbing for optimal acoustic performance and durability, while
subwoofers are housed in 18 mm birch cabinets with optimized bracing for smooth, accurate
low-frequency response. Like with every JBL product, everything is reinforced by industry-leading
test and validation protocols and the series is backed by an unprecedented seven-year warranty.
"For years, our PRX800 Series loudspeakers have been first-call systems for bands, DJs, installers
and houses of worship in large part thanks to their acoustic profile, their low end extension, and
their volume," said Brandon Knudsen, HARMAN Professional Product Manager, Portable PA
Loudspeakers.
"With the PRX900 Series, we're taking things to the next level with next-gen acoustic innovations
and an even brawnier power package to deliver clean, clear sound at any volume. Systems take
advantage of the latest BLE technology and the JBL Pro Connect app ecosystem, for unrivalled
control."
The PRX900 Series is a versatile solution for DJs and bands, music venues, rental houses, corporate
A/V providers, or anyone who seeks durable professional systems that deliver powerful, room-filling
sound in any portable or installed scenario. Key innovations include:
All-New Acoustic Designs
From cones to cabinets, the PRX900 Series is designed for advanced acoustic performance. Patented
JBL 2408H-2 1.5" compression drivers with poly-annular diaphragms and neodymium magnets provide
clear, detailed high-frequency response; innovative new horns with updated JBL Image Control
Waveguides deliver consistent beamwidth and frequency dispersion. Next-generation woofers with
ferrite magnets deliver smooth, natural bass response, and an FEA flared port design reduces air
noise and distortion.
Superior Power Performance
Driven by highly efficient Class D power amps, the PRX900 Series provides acoustic clarity and
definition with minimal power compression, even at maximum volume. A bridged woofer amp keeps
current spikes out of the ground and lowers crosstalk harmonics to the tweeter. High-linearity
inductors deliver superior power efficiency and low total harmonic distortion, and low-noise,
low-distortion input gain staging optimizes range and headroom for diverse gain requirements.
High-quality DAC and ADC provides near-lossless audio conversion. Producing up to 134 dB output down
to 30 Hz, systems effortlessly support large performance spaces with high power and performance
requirements. And with a full-bandwidth CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio) greater than 55 dB and
THD (total harmonic distortion) rating of 32 dB, noise is virtually non-existent.
Class-Leading DSP
The PRX900 Series is fully loaded with comprehensive DSP, all accessible via the JBL Pro Connect app
or onboard full-colour LCD. Processing includes 12-band parametric EQ, plus optimized presets and
snapshots. Onboard dbx DriveRack technology features live and fixed Automatic Feedback Suppression,
hard and soft system limiters and 180 ms of speaker delay in 100-microsecond intervals for full
time-aligned systems.
Versatile and Scalable
Combine PRX900 Series loudspeakers and subwoofers in a range of configurations to meet the
requirements of both mobile scenarios and fixed installs. Speakers feature dual 36 mm pole sockets
and six M10 suspension points; subwoofers feature M20 pole cups. Full-range speakers feature a
built-in gyrosensor that automatically optimizes system tuning depending on monitor or mains
placement.
The Pro Connect Ecosystem
JBL's Pro Connect app offers BLE functionality for system control of up to 10 speakers and line
integration with JBL EON ONE MK2, PRX ONE, and EON700 loudspeakers. Access full DSP functions right
from the app, including app-only features like speaker snapshots and speaker groupings.
Rugged and Road-Worthy
PRX900 components are housed in strong, lightweight cabinets that maximize both acoustic performance
and durability. Loudspeaker cabinets are constructed from a polypropylene/talc blend that's
optimized for rigidity, with computer-modelled internal ribbing designed for maximum structural
integrity and minimal cabinet noise. Subwoofer enclosures feature optimized bracing that smooths out
low-frequency response.
