JBL PRX 815 1500W Powered Speaker

It has very good vocal and instramental sound quality. The cabinets has a nice finish look. They provide good sound coverage in most areas. I like the size of the cabinet, it's easy to move around. The customer service was very good and effiecent.

Glad I'm on 31 acres...

I bought mine 2/2020. I have been using them since then and have had ZERO issues. If they are properly set up, and not abused, they are fantastic. if you're a turn everything in the gain stage to eleven type of person, then you deserve whatever happens.
If you utilize the tools it provides, such as input clipping indicator, to ensure clean signal, then crank them, and enjoy!

They DO require EQing, but nothing crazy, which can be handled through their wireless app. If they are coupled with a pair of PRX818LFW subs, and the built in high-pass X-over, you'll be happy as a pig in shiitake mushrooms.

Awesome

These things sound great and will turn up VERY loud. I run two of these with two of the PRX 18 inch subs. Once you get used to the subs running, these seam to have a weak low end unless you eq them way up (LOL). They really actually sound very good on their own but the subs spoil you. If you don't have an eq, you can eq via the PRX Connect app. Be aware, you must have a tablet or iPad to use the app and a Wi-Fi router. These are not Bluetooth. Beware during start-up of the app. I had the system go full volume until the built in system limiter kicked in and shut the system off. Always mute the system until the app is up and running. It was scary loud and I was very concerned about damage to the system. I was about ten feet from the mixer and really had the volume set very low. SMH. Fortunately, the system came right back on and still sounds like new. Old PA gear would have had me changing the high frequency drivers out from being blown. With a crowd around, someone could have suffered hearing damage. I am not exaggerating. These things are tough and will play crazy loud. They are very light and look really good. They have two pole cups for a straight or an angle mount on a sub pole. Only one handle is present but that's all you really need, because they are so light. Beats old school box and separate amp that weighed a ton with half the sound that these put out. The fans never seem to come on until you reach a pretty loud volume for several minutes. Once the fans are running they are so quiet that I can't hear them run. Granted, I'm guessing there is a high speed with them but I have never got them that hot. I have ran RCA direct to the speaker and ran a mic to it as well. You can mix the RCA/input and the mic from the rear of the speaker and send the mix to the other cabinets right from the back of the speaker, no external mixer needed. These are shaped like a monitor and will lay on their side for that very purpose. Monitor, side-fill, main. I am very pleased with these but wish the app would work on my iPhone and I didn't have to worry with muting the system on start-up of the app. Having to have a Wi-Fi router is sort of a hassle as well since it is an extra device you have to bring and worry with. It would be so much easier if it ran off Bluetooth and your phone app. One device and you could play directly, and control it, from you phone. Not sure what they were thinking.

Best speaker I’ve ever owned

Amazing speaker when I got it I couldn’t believe the sound

Before I had the EV zlx15p and they can’t even compare to the sound of the prx815’s

So far these are the best speakers I’ve ever owned and wished I knew about them before buying the Ev’s

I highly recommend them to any DJ who takes djing seriously

Neighbors 4 acres away not happy

So I had a couple of 12" behringers and after one caught on fire and was replaced, the other burnt up too. I got no response from music tribe. Horrible customer service. They even block you from giving them a bad review.
So I was given Sweetwater's name by a friend and have been shocked at the service. The guys helped me at every step finding exactly what I needed. These speakers are beyond what I expected, the quality of sound is top tier. The neighbors 4 acres away hear them crisp and clear. AMAZING! These JBL's are LOUD.
Probably the best purchase I have ever made. The speakers were on my door step in 2 days. Thank you to John for your hard work and help in my purchase. I have a new music partner in my quest to have the best toys on the farm.
