JBL SRX835 15" Three-Way Bass Reflex Passive System
Description
JBL SRX835 15" Three-Way Bass Reflex Passive System
The SRX835 delivers substantial output and consistent coverage from a compact, manageable platform. Ergonomically designed handles provide a non-fatiguing grip for roadwork and venue setup, while the rugged 18mm plywood enclosure with Obsidian Duraflex™ finish handles the demands of touring, rental, and permanent installation. This is a workhorse three-way system built to sustain repeated use across live performance, DJ applications, and fixed sound reinforcement roles.
Audio Performance & Coverage
Peak output reaches 137 dB SPL with continuous power handling of 800W and peak capacity of 3200W, covering a 60° × 40° pattern suitable for main, fill, or stage monitoring applications. The three-way design employs crossover frequencies at 330 Hz and 2.4 kHz, with JBL's 2432H neodymium compression driver delivering extended high-frequency clarity and the 2275F woofer providing controlled low-end extension down to 32 Hz.
Setup & System Integration
NL4 input and loop-thru connectors with selectable gain (+/-1 or +/-2 dB) enable flexible system configuration and daisy-chaining. Twelve M10 suspension points and a 36mm pole socket accommodate flying rigs, tripod stands, subwoofer stacking, and floor placement—factory tunings are available for Crown ITech HD, XTI 2 amplifiers, and dbx VENU360 signal processors for optimized frequency response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SRX835 suitable for home studio use or bedroom practice?
No. This is a live-sound reinforcement and touring PA system, not a studio tool. Its high output capacity and coverage pattern are optimized for venue fill and stage use; it is not designed for recording, mixing, or nearfield reference work.
What amplifier brands work well with the SRX835?
The SRX835 ships with factory tunings for Crown ITech HD, Crown XTI 2, and dbx VENU360 processors to ensure optimized frequency response. It accepts passive amplification via NL4 connectors and also supports bi-amp operation for greater control.
Can the SRX835 be flown or stacked, and does it work on a standard PA pole?
Yes. Twelve M10 suspension points allow flying rigs, and a 36mm pole socket accommodates tripod stands. The speaker can also be stacked on subwoofers or placed on the floor, making it flexible for main, fill, and monitor roles.
How much does it weigh, and is it portable for touring?
The SRX835 weighs 95 lbs with ergonomic dual handles designed for non-fatiguing grip during setup and breakdown. Its rugged 18mm plywood enclosure with Obsidian Duraflex finish is built to survive repeated touring and rental use.
What is the frequency response and coverage pattern?
Frequency response is 43 Hz–17 kHz (–3 dB) with a 32 Hz low-end extension (–10 dB). Coverage pattern is 60° × 40°, suitable for main, fill, or stage monitoring applications in venues and live events.
