JBL Professional has taken a significant step in enhancing its SRX900 Series by introducing three new powered loudspeakers along with a comprehensive array of rigging and mounting accessories. This expansion aims to provide users with increased flexibility, catering to a range of applications such as touring, rental services, installations, and live productions.
Let’s dive deeper into these exciting additions.
First up is the SRX912M: This compact, 12-inch two-way powered speaker may be small in stature, but it certainly makes a big impact. It’s designed for versatility, excelling in low-profile stage monitoring, serving as a main PA system, or functioning as a front fill speaker. Its impressive output capabilities make it a reliable option for various sound reinforcement needs.
Next, we have the SRX915M: This high-output, 15-inch two-way powered speaker is tailored for scenarios that demand enhanced low-frequency extension and ample headroom. It performs exceptionally well as a primary PA speaker or as a high-performance stage monitor when you require that additional power boost in your audio setup.
Completing the trio is the SRX922: This model features a compact design housing dual 12-inch speakers arranged in an acoustically advanced three-way configuration within a trapezoidal enclosure. It’s built specifically for high-output requirements and offers precise control over directivity, making it ideal for use as high-output mains, side-fills, or as a point-source element in larger SRX900 systems.
All three loudspeakers integrate seamlessly into the existing SRX900 ecosystem, sharing consistent voicing, amplification, and digital signal processing (DSP) across the range. This cohesive approach is supported by JBL Venue Synthesis, which allows for 3D acoustic simulations, JBL Performance for system management, and ArrayLink for simplified setup and configuration.
In addition to the new speakers, JBL has also unveiled a range of rigging, mounting, and transportation accessories to support this expanded lineup. Options include both horizontal and vertical U-brackets, array frames, truss clamps, transport carts, and protective covers—suitable for both fixed installations and mobile setups.
The SRX900 platform leverages advanced transducer technologies originally developed for JBL’s leading touring systems. For instance, the woofers utilize JBL’s innovative Differential Drive technology, which features a dual-voice-coil and dual-gap design. On the processing end, users benefit from a 24-band parametric EQ and 2,000 ms of delay, complemented by JBL’s Array Size Compensation filter that addresses tonal variations across different array configurations.
For protection, JBL has integrated its LevelMax limiter suite, developed in collaboration with Crown engineers, ensuring reliability similar to Crown’s I-Tech HD touring amplifiers. Additionally, the system supports HARMAN’s HControl Ethernet protocol, simplifying network setup without the need for intricate IP addressing.
George Georgallis, Senior Director of Product Management for Tour Sound at HARMAN Professional Solutions, shared insights about this evolution: "The SRX900 platform is continually adapting to meet the demands of contemporary productions and user needs. With this expansion, we’re reinforcing our commitment to offering even greater flexibility, enabling users to accomplish more while retaining the distinctive sound quality and dependable performance that the SRX900 series is celebrated for."
