JBL PRX915
Description
JBL PRX915 15-Inch Powered Loudspeaker
The JBL PRX915 is a compact yet muscular 15-inch powered speaker engineered for touring, installed sound, and mobile applications where serious output cannot be compromised. Its composite cabinet with computer-modeled internal ribbing delivers controlled, focused projection from a remarkably portable platform.
Audio Performance & Coverage
With a 2000W peak / 1000W RMS Class-D amplifier and a 133 dB max SPL, this speaker commands venues ranging from mid-sized clubs to outdoor events. The combination of a 15-inch woofer with 2.5-inch voice coil and 1.5-inch neodymium tweeter produces articulate lows and clear highs, while 90° horizontal and 50° vertical dispersion ensures even coverage across typical stage configurations.
Control & Processing
On-board 12-band parametric EQ, automatic feedback suppression, and dbx Drive Rack technology give you comprehensive tone shaping without external processing. The JBL Pro Connect app manages up to 10 speakers simultaneously, while hardwired onboard color LCD controls let you adjust system settings, speaker delay, and preset configurations in real time—essential for tour schedules and quick venue turnarounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the power output and how loud does it get?
The PRX915 delivers 1000W RMS (2000W peak) and reaches a maximum SPL of 133 dB, making it suitable for mid-sized venues, outdoor events, and touring applications. A single unit can cover clubs and smaller theaters; multiple speakers can be networked and controlled together via the JBL Pro Connect app.
Can I control this speaker remotely or adjust EQ on the fly?
Yes—the JBL Pro Connect app lets you manage up to 10 speakers wirelessly, or use the onboard LCD controls for immediate access to 12-band parametric EQ, speaker delay, presets, and system settings without external gear. Automatic feedback suppression and dbx Drive Rack DSP are built in.
What's the coverage pattern and will it cover my venue evenly?
The PRX915 has 90° horizontal and 50° vertical dispersion, designed to provide even coverage across typical stage layouts and venue configurations. Frequency response spans 60 Hz–16 kHz (−3 dB), with extension to 48 Hz–19 kHz (−10 dB).
Is this portable enough for touring and mobile work?
Yes—the composite cabinet with computer-modeled internal ribbing keeps the speaker structurally rigid while remaining compact. Class-D amplification with fanless, natural convection cooling adds no weight penalty and requires only standard AC mains power (100–230 Vrms, 50–60 Hz), making it road-ready and reliable for repeated setup and teardown.
How does the PRX915 compare to the QSC K12.2 or Electro-Voice ZLX-15P?
All three are mid-tier powered 15-inch speakers built for touring and live sound. The PRX915 emphasizes articulate lows and clear highs with onboard parametric EQ and dbx Drive Rack DSP; compare specs, coverage patterns, and onboard processing to match your venue size, mixing style, and need for external effects or tone shaping.
