Its Wi-Fi technology and intricate Digital Signal Processing (DSP) provide you with total control over your sound system's tuning and performance, no matter where you are in the venue, through the complimentary PRX Connect app.

This high-performing loudspeaker system boasts a highly efficient 1500-watt class-D amplifier and JBL's patented Differential Drive technology, ensuring top-tier power handling while significantly reducing the system's weight.

The class-leading 1500-watt amplifier provides ample power to fill your venue, while the JBL Differential Drive transducers offer higher Sound Pressure Level (SPL) in a lightweight design. The next-generation JBL neodymium compression drivers, redesigned Crown input technology, including XLR, 1/4", and RCA inputs plus XLR loop-through, and intelligent variable-speed fan that activates only when needed to reduce noise, all contribute to the superior performance of this loudspeaker system.

The PRX815W is designed with durable wooden cabinets, a tour-proven DuraFlex finish, and dent-resistant 16-gauge grilles, ensuring its longevity. Its universal power supply ensures worldwide compatibility, while the dbx Type IV limiting ensures clear, accurate sound at high volumes.
