JBL JRX225 Dual 15” Passive PA Speaker

Full Description

Enhanced low and mid-range performance

The JBL JRX225 stands out with its dual 15-inch low-frequency drivers, each equipped with a 2.5-inch edgewound ribbon voice coil. This design increases the wire area in the voice coil gap, boosting efficiency and power handling significantly. The “Quasi 3-Way” configuration allows for deep bass while the upper woofer handles both mid-frequencies and bass, enhancing audio clarity and reducing mid-range phase cancellation. This setup provides fuller, richer sound with extensive coverage, ideal for live performances where clear, powerful sound is crucial.

Superior high-frequency handling

This speaker also includes a 25mm polymer diaphragm compression driver that improves the high-frequency performance and overall system reliability. Coupled with the Progressive Transition high-frequency waveguide, the JRX225 offers superior coverage control, reduced distortion, and a smoother frequency response. The high-voltage capacitors and inductors in the crossover network allow it to manage high power levels effectively, ensuring clear sound across all volume levels.

Durable and reliable construction

Built to endure the rigors of live events, the JRX225 features a rugged enclosure constructed from 19 mm MDF. Advanced adhesives and mechanical fastener technology provide extreme durability and enhanced low-frequency performance. The SonicGuard feature protects the high-frequency driver from excess power without affecting performance, ensuring consistent quality and reliability. Additionally, the non-resonant, all-steel handles and the protective 18-gauge steel grille safeguard the speaker against physical impacts and damage during transport and setup.

Versatile installation options

The dual-angle pole-mount socket in the JRX225 allows for varied setup configurations, providing more uniform audience coverage. This flexibility makes the speaker exceptionally suitable for venues with complex acoustic requirements, ensuring that sound is delivered evenly throughout the space. Whether used on stage, in a club, or at an outdoor event, the JRX225 delivers exceptional sound that captures the nuances of live music.
