JBL PRX415M - 300W 15-inch Passive 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 50-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The JBL Professional PRX415M is a high-performance, lightweight passive 2-way loudspeaker that offers exceptional sound reproduction and durability, making it ideal for portable applications. Equipped with a 15-inch woofer and a 1-inch polymer diaphragm compression driver, the PRX415M is designed to provide outstanding coverage and power handling in both vertical and horizontal orientations. It is a perfect solution for DJs, musicians, rental companies, and sound reinforcement applications where clear, high-output sound is needed in a variety of environments.

The PRX415M features a 15-inch JBL M115-8A Differential Drive woofer, which is capable of handling up to 300 watts of continuous power (with a peak rating of 1200 watts). This allows the speaker to deliver a powerful bass response and extended low frequencies down to 55 Hz (-10 dB), ensuring full-range performance in a compact form. For the high frequencies, the speaker uses a JBL 2414H-C 25 mm (1 inch) polymer diaphragm compression driver, mounted to a 90° x 50° horn, ensuring smooth and even coverage across the audience area. This high-frequency driver contributes to the PRX415M's excellent off-axis response, offering consistent audio performance whether the speaker is positioned on a tripod or mounted over a subwoofer.

The speaker's coverage pattern is 90° x 50°, providing a wide horizontal dispersion and a focused vertical throw for balanced sound throughout the listening area. The system's passive crossover operates at 2.2 kHz, ensuring seamless integration between the woofer and compression driver, while the rugged construction ensures reliable operation even in demanding environments. With a maximum SPL of 122 dB continuous (128 dB peak), the PRX415M is capable of filling medium to large venues with high-quality sound, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of live sound applications.

For flexibility in installation and portability, the PRX415M comes equipped with a dual-angle, 35 mm pole socket, allowing the speaker to be mounted in a vertical position or with a 10° downward tilt. This feature provides optimal audience coverage, whether the speaker is used as a main system or a stage monitor. Additionally, the PRX415M's enclosure is constructed from 18 mm birch/poplar plywood and coated in JBL's DuraFlex finish, providing both durability and a professional appearance. The grille is made from heavy-duty 16-gauge steel, powder-coated in black and backed by an acoustically transparent screen to offer extra protection for the internal components.

For easy transport, the PRX415M includes a glass-filled nylon handle with a rubber grip, making it easy to carry between venues. The speaker also features Neutrik Speakon NL-2 and 1/4-inch combination input connectors for versatile audio signal connections. With its robust build, powerful performance, and versatile mounting options, the PRX415M is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality, portable loudspeaker system for a variety of live sound and installation applications.
