JBL PRX425 - 600W 2 x 15-inch Passive 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 50-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The JBL Professional PRX425 is a powerful and versatile passive loudspeaker designed for high-performance sound reinforcement in a variety of settings. Ideal for applications such as live sound reinforcement, music venues, and clubs, the PRX425 combines dual 15-inch woofers and a 1-inch compression driver to deliver exceptional low-end performance and clear, crisp high frequencies. The speaker is engineered to provide a seamless balance of power handling, extended low-frequency output, and high-frequency clarity, making it an ideal solution for bass-heavy performances, kick drums, and high-level music playback.

Equipped with two 380 mm (15 in) woofers, the PRX425 offers a combined power handling capacity of 600 watts continuous, 1200 watts program, and 2400 watts peak, ensuring high output levels even in large or high-energy environments. The 2414H-C 25 mm (1 in) polymer diaphragm compression driver, mounted to a 90° x 50° horn, ensures excellent dispersion and high-frequency clarity across the coverage area. With a nominal coverage pattern of 90° x 50°, the PRX425 provides even sound distribution, while the design of the horn allows for controlled splay when multiple enclosures are used together, minimizing coverage overlap and maintaining uniform sound throughout the venue.

For ruggedness and durability, the PRX425 is housed in a trapezoidal enclosure constructed from 18 mm birch/poplar multi-laminate plywood, coated with JBL's tough DuraFlex finish for added protection during transport and use in demanding environments. The speaker's heavy-duty 16-gauge steel grille is CNC-machined for precision and is backed with an acoustically transparent screen to provide additional protection to the drivers while maintaining a professional and sleek appearance.

The PRX425's system sensitivity is 100 dB SPL at 1W/1m, allowing it to produce a maximum SPL of 128 dB continuous and 134 dB peak, making it an excellent choice for venues requiring high output levels and clear, full-range sound. The passive crossover ensures accurate reproduction throughout the crossover region, with a crossover frequency set at 2.2 kHz. The speaker's frequency range spans from 48 Hz to 19 kHz (-10 dB), with a frequency response of 61 Hz to 16 kHz (+3 dB), ensuring that it covers the full range of sound needed for most audio applications.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the PRX425 features two Neutrik Speakon NL-2 and 1/4" combination input connectors, offering compatibility with a wide range of cabling schemes. For easy mounting, it is equipped with twelve M10 suspension points, allowing for secure and stable rigging in permanent installations or portable setups. The two glass-filled nylon handles with rubber grips provide a convenient and sturdy way to transport the speaker, while its lightweight construction makes it easy to move despite its high power output.

Overall, the PRX425 delivers high-power output and exceptional sound quality in a compact, rugged package, making it a great option for live sound engineers, rental companies, and venues seeking reliable and versatile speakers. Whether used alone or as part of a larger array, the PRX425 provides excellent performance, making it the perfect solution for a wide range of audio reinforcement needs.
