JBL VRX915M - 800W 15-inch Passive 2-Way Stage Monitor with 50 x 90-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The JBL Professional VRX915M is a high-performance, compact, and lightweight 15-inch two-way stage monitor designed for the most demanding touring and live sound applications. This monitor delivers exceptional sound quality and power handling in a sleek, low-profile design that minimizes obstruction of audience sightlines while maintaining a full-range, high-impact audio performance. Featuring JBL's latest neodymium-magnet transducers, the VRX915M provides accurate low-end reproduction and smooth high frequencies, making it an ideal choice for both front-of-house and stage monitoring needs.

At the heart of the VRX915M is a 15-inch JBL 2265H Differential Drive woofer, which handles 800 watts of continuous power. This lightweight yet powerful driver ensures precise and clear low-frequency reproduction, even in demanding environments. The high-frequency section of the monitor features the JBL 2452H compression driver with a 4-inch voice coil, coupled to a 50° x 90° aluminum horn. This combination ensures smooth and clear high-frequency output, critical for high-performance monitoring, particularly in loud environments such as live concerts or studio settings.

The VRX915M offers flexible operating options, allowing users to choose between bi-amplified or full-range passive operation. A recessed, high-current switch located next to the NL4 input connector allows for easy selection between the two modes. The monitor also includes a convenient second NL4 connector for loop-thru connections, which reduces cable runs on stage and simplifies setup. The enclosure is made of top-quality Baltic birch plywood, finished with JBL's rugged DuraFlex coating for durability and protection in harsh environments. The 30° wedge design of the enclosure is symmetrical, with four non-slip rubber feet per side, allowing for flexible left and right applications of adjacent monitors.

For additional protection, the transducers are shielded by a durable 16-gauge CNC-machined steel grille, which is backed by acoustically transparent foam to prevent damage. The black DuraFlex finish and powder-coated steel grille not only add to the aesthetic appeal but also enhance the speaker's resilience against wear and tear, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic environments.
