JBL SRX912M Powered Point-source Speaker
Description
JBL SRX912M Powered Point-source Speaker
The SRX912M is a compact powered monitor built for live sound applications where you need tight directional control and serious output without sacrificing portability. At 45 lb with integrated Class D amplification, it's light enough to move between venues but powerful enough to handle demanding gigs, whether you're running a mobile rig, setting up a permanent install, or touring. The point-source design delivers consistent coverage across different room acoustics with minimal off-axis coloration—crucial for reliability when you can't predict the space.
Audio Performance & Output
This speaker hits 138 dB SPL maximum, giving you the headroom needed for high-pressure applications without compression artifacts. The 12-inch woofer paired with a 1.5-inch compression driver and Differential Drive technology reaches down to 50 Hz, so you get true full-range capability in an enclosure that actually fits on a truck or in a venue's rigging grid.
Design & Connectivity
The Baltic birch housing is built to withstand road use and installed life, with engineered bracing that controls resonance and handles repeated rigging. Six M10 Quick-Link suspension points give you flexible mounting options for floor placement or flown systems. Dual Ethernet ports with Neutrik etherCON connectors and HARMAN HControl support let you manage multiple units across your system, adjust DSP in real time, and monitor status from the FOH position.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SRX912M suitable for home recording or bedroom studio use?
No — this speaker is purpose-built for live performance, touring, and installed venue systems. It prioritizes high SPL output, directional coverage, and networked control, making it overkill and acoustically mismatched for home recording and mixing.
What is the maximum SPL and frequency range?
The SRX912M delivers a maximum SPL of 138 dB with a 12-inch woofer, 1.5-inch compression driver, and Differential Drive technology extending low-frequency response down to 50 Hz for full-range capability in a compact enclosure.
How is it mounted and rigged?
The speaker features six M10 Quick-Link suspension points on a Baltic birch housing for flexible mounting, rigging, and angling (42-degree full-range monitor angle available). It weighs 45 lb and integrates into truss or ground systems.
Does it support networked control?
Yes — dual Ethernet ports with Neutrik etherCON connectors and HARMAN HControl support allow networked control and real-time system management across multiple units, with an onboard LCD display and encoder for local adjustments.
What processing and presets are included?
The integrated Class D amplification includes comprehensive DSP with 24 user-adjustable filters, up to 2,000 ms of delay, and application-specific presets built into onboard processing for different monitor and live-sound scenarios.
